If someone has a ticket, there is no reason not to admit them. To suggest that letting someone in after kick off might overcrowd the ground is daft as they could have turned up before kick off and got in without question. It's a daft rule and probably they're doing it to avoid having someone on the turnstile for any longer than needed. Every game I'm at, one of my friends invariably arrives about 5 minutes or more into the game - never been a problem at the Sinclair St turnstiles in as long as I can remember. This sounds like a situation where the general manager should just tell the stewarding company to facilitate late entry, even if it means letting someone in via the main stand entrance and telling them to walk through to the away section. The stewarding company are employed by the club, not the other way round.

Hard pass. There's no way they are putting an away section in the Sinclair St end, nor should they.

Yeah, and by the same token, do you remember Frankie Dean who had some on here blinded by their own tears and snotters when Dougie didn't offer him a contract last summer? Same story with Reece Lyon who also had some bumping their gums when he was released. Both decisions have, thus far at least, been fully vindicated. Logan is a great prospect for sure, and he did take his goal very nicely. If he works hard and realises his full potential, I'm sure he'll have a decent career in the game. But it was against an already demoralised and knackered Lowland League side who were too fucked to be able to put in even half a challenge. It's unlikely he'd get that amount of time and space inside the box in the Championship. So that goal is not indication in itself that he's ready yet for the Championship (if that's indeed what you're suggesting). I think that based on his long career as a professional footballer and now over 2 years managerial experience, we can safely assume that Dougie has accumulated far more football knowledge than any of us (except of course for Eredevisie superstar DOT). And he works with these guys every day on the training pitch and therefore knows their individual strengths and weakness in detail. So based on that, and the fact that his calls on players he's released have been pretty much 100% correct, I'm more than happy to trust his team selection judgements. He'll not get every decision right of course, but the evidence is clear that he gets far more of them right than wrong.

Why would there be a cutoff though? If someone wants to pay full price for a ticket and rock up late - even just for the 2nd half for example, why shouldn't they be able to?

Better not wear black or you'll end up running the line...

As much as it will disappoint me on Monday, if he's not ready then I really hope not.

Like the guy in shed wanting Dougie to be sacked after losing our 16 game streak

It’s not as if it was heaving last night, so he should’ve been able to get in, if the stewards were more accommodating. Their attitude only serves to drive customers/potential customers away.

That's pish poor. There can be a multitude of perfectly valid reasons for arriving late, especially if travelling a distance, so to have a blanket rule like that with no exceptions irrespective of the circumstances, is shite in the extreme.
