Wonder if Glasgow council ever threatened to shut down parts of Parkhead with the behaviour of the Green Brigade...? Doubt it.

Think it was DFC themselves that imposed the ticket only policy in the Derry.
Your question about how it is safer to enter the SE by a ticket rather than cash is precisely the point. It could be that there were considerable numbers of fans queuing on Dens Road to get in and this is the reason for the safety element. It will be quicker getting fans through the gates by ticket rather than taking money. I am convinced that the ticket only access for the SE is part of the way it has to be operated to comply with the licence. You are entitled to your opinion but the point is we agree that it would be better for PATG fans to have direct access to the SE. I think there should be questions asked by fans and in particular the bodies that represent them to see if the licence conditions could be altered to allow a PATG turnstile to be operated for the SE.

There has been consistent comment about the loss of supporters going into the SE. The club will be aware of the dropping numbers and I would hope that if there was a campaign to have the conditions reviewed, then at the very least the board could ask the question of the authorities. Give it a trial period, but give it a go.
