    As you get in they are asking your age and checking against your ticket/season ticket. If you look older and have no id, you’re out.

    I presume a steward other side of the turnstiles. Do different colour lights go on depending on the ticket type ? I always get pulled onto the underground via this method.

    Good in a way, sad in another as ruining the day for so many here.

    Jnr was stopped again last night by the short silver haired bloke who seemed to be in charge. Jnr showed his new provisional driving licence to which he was told ‘16 year olds can't have a driving licence and he’d have to leave’.
    He stood his ground and eventually was allowed in.
    Security was a bit over the top last night. Anyone else have problems?

    Normally one steward checking bags going into the west stand, last night three! Really over the top. What were they expecting?

    My son has a season ticket and had a provisional driving licence ready to show. The steward told him 16 year olds can’t have a driving licence so he wasn’t coming in. He got in after much arguing.

    Dozens of police and ticket inspectors looking for fare dodgers, knives and drugs (see sniffer dog in photo).

    "you'll never take me alive, copper" I said (after I'd crossed the road and was in the Radical Club.

    The police get free travel on LT, so there are four fare dodgers in that picture alone.

    Surely no one with drugs/a knife is dumb enough to walk through that thing?

    Mrs was telling me she saw one of those set up at Ilford station. She saw a group of lads come off a train, take a look at it then shuffle back towards the trains. I suppose you maybe able to reduce the amount of people casually carrying knives, and moves it out the way?

    Maybe because CatJnr has a Student ST and steward was more switched on and knew that we had to jump through hoops to get it in the first place?
