Still baffles me that at every game, people turn up shocked they might have to get searched or have their ticket ready as they get to the turnstiles. |  |

To be honest, I've not found it too bad. Think the longest it's taken me to get in has been about 5 minutes. |  |

SBR hasn't been too bad generally, but as we're in SBR we're allowed to come tooled up so they can get us through quicker. |  |

But SAR is full of the type of nutters most likely to take in knuckle dusters, flares, baseball bats with nails in, flasks of tea and blankets for knees. |  |

Of course they haven’t. They’ve got whatever random untrained security staff they could call in at the last minute armed with a Fisher Price ‘My First Security Wand’. Notwithstanding all of that, there would actually have to be something there for them to find in the first place and in the 100+ year history of Portman Road how many instances of violence have there been? How many al-Qaeda shortlists is the Cobbold Stand on? It’s complete nonsense masquerading as something important and another thing we can look forward to ditching if we end up dropping out of this turgid borefest of a league. |  | |  |

I quite like being in the Premier League. Except having to unzip my coat, but a sacrifice worth making... just. |  |

Unzip your coats, guys and gals on 10:48 - Feb 22 with 1676 views | Zx1988 | The absolute bed-wetting from sections of the fan base, that they might not be able to rock up at 1455hrs and get in for kickoff, and that they might have to go through the same security checks that happen at any major venue these days... |  |

What pi55es me off are the idiots who wait until they get to the turnstiles before they bring out their mobiles and then spend five minutes trying to find their tickets! |  | |  |

Honestly the whinging about all this is right up there with the stupidest things fans have complained about. Portman Road isn't really set up to have the same system as the big grounds where the checkpoints are plenty, spread out and a good distance away from the gates to filter people through smoothly. In the Cobbold it used to take ages as there was just one person per queue scanning everyone, they then increased the number of stewards to speed that up, but the queues to get in to the different turnstiles overlapped and got in a mess so they introduced barriers to keep them separate and let them snake round without crossing over. Still people moan about it and complain why they can't just walk in. Maybe it's me, but if I'm going somewhere where I know there's going to be several thousand other people trying to enter the same venue at the same time, I either get there earlier if possible to avoid the worst of it, or just accept there'll be a bit of waiting time to get in. No wonder the atmosphere's dead half the time when the crowd's full of total drips who turn up in full 'moan mode' before the game's even kicked off. |  |

Not had a problem all season - quick security check, straight through the turnstile. Been a breeze for us. |  | |  |

Totally agree. First world problems - some people just like a whine... [Post edited 22 Feb 14:52]
