Stupid system of having no operators on turnstiles. Not just at the KC. Apparently happening at other sports grounds with the same scan system. Supposedly intelligent people think they can save a few bob but I wonder in reality how much clubs are losing. Adam Pearson has already said this is a make or break year for us financially. Then you read this. I hope the club or SMC get their act together and tighten up on this. I'm a season pass holder or club member as its called now, Im not a fan who gets annoyed at low price initiatives or giveaways at certain games to get new fans or get fans back BUT I am severely vexed off at this, Shafting of the club I love
Adult using a child ticket is pretty obvious and can and should be easy to spot by one steward per bank of turnstyles.
Concessions are a bit more difficult, they are issued for a number of reasons. Student, OAP, disability etc and challenging this is more difficult, sensitive and time consuming. There ideally should be a way of limitting the ability to buy a ticket.
We have manned turn styles but I bet very few are ever challenged by the operator for a number of reasons

its a minority and IMO the fault of the SMC for "false" cost cutting. You dangle a carrot in front of peoples faces they will take it. It's human nature and no matter how much people love the club, Hull is not an affluent place and if people can save a few quid they will Personally, I have not seen or heard of anyone doing it at FC but it's rife at City

People download music illegally, taking money from artists, bands, producers, companies etc in the process because they can. It can be done.
My computer has all the best and latest spyware, registry cleaners and driver boosters etc on it. I haven't paid a penny for them, i downloaded them and downloaded illegal serial keys to work them thus taking money out of the pockets of the makers and sponsors.... because i can and it can be done.
People opt to stream sky on their computer taking money away from every sports club they show. I am currently watching Liverpool v Man City in HD on my skybox that cost me £16 subscription for a year on a signal i take from Ireland on a scrambled I.P. Why?..... because i can and it can be done.
I sometimes go to the hot deli counter at the supermarket, buy a couple of sausages or something, eat them on the way round and kick the packaging under the shelving units so i don't need to pay the £2 or £3 it would have cost me extra. Yep you guessed it, because i can and it can be done.
If i need something new that i can get from work and it would only cost 50p in a shop i will still nick it from work.
Conclusion :- If somebody can get away with saving a few quid, even if it is un-moral they will do it. Sports clubs are a lot wealthier than somebody on £15,000 or so a year and can take the hit better. Robin Hood wasn't a million miles off. If people can get away with it they will do. It's up to the firms, companies, sports clubs to find a way of stopping it.
That's some confession. I'm not sure we want your sort of riff-raff on this forum, so you're banned.... because I can and it can be done.

Ive seen fc fans turn up at saints and been refused entry for trying to get in on a childs ticket
If you get caught expect to be dealt with it is fraud ateod
Same at cas, a group of fc fans claiming to be under 16 vexed off they couldn't get in, stupid thing was the stewards had been watching them drinking alcohol walking upto the turnstiles
