I have a ticket for tomorrow for the match (West Stand) which tells me I must enter through turnstiles 1-4. I met my mate there and last week was on the 'wrong' side from him. It took a lot of persuading to get the stewards to let me across to find him! Fortunately I know that he is also turnstiles 1-4 tomorrow. But what will happen when we get swipecards and he enters through a different turnstile? I will never see him again! What a pantomime!
I am alone in having bother with the notice on the club board?

An major design fault with the west stand. The tunnel effectively cuts the stand in half.
Of course some on here will insist that Leigh Centurions aught to get thier act together. They designed and built the stadium after all.

Its the way Greenbank built the thing without any means of doing so,if peopl remember there was also no crossing in front of the Hilton Stand where the 'dug outs' where, this is common in many stadiums, as there is no reserved seats surely a simple communication between people 'Meet me in the northern/southern end of the stand' would suffice?
No reserved seats was the season ticket holders vote, and if they had voted for it unless you were a season ticket holder or bought your tickets together or asked the ticket office staff to place you nearby you would still be in the same 'boat' so unless you go in together there is always the same problem, thats one of the big down falls of modern/allseater stadia.

Operational rules state that the tunnel area must be a "sterile area" .

I'm saying nothing of the sort. I am explaining why it is not permitted for spectators to cross the tunnel area.
As th'owd mon says below, it's an RFL rule.

No encoachment pitch side in front of the dug outs and players and officials entrance to field of play isn't permitted or shouldnt be permitted in any stadium the match commisioner insists on it. It isnt an LSV or LC RFC thing its the RFL (and FA) 'thing'

There is a way across above the tunnel -that was the way I went last week after much pleading. Both Parkys seem to think I am asking to cross in front of the tunnel. The latest club notice seems to say we cannot cross behind the tunnel. My original question about whether swipecards will specify which turnstyles to enter by remains unanswered.
