Hullfox Posted 5 November 2006 Posted 5 November 2006 I'm usually on the fence when it comes to Stewarding as I think they are in a no win position but yesterday took the biscuit. We were sat near the aisle at Gangway X when the referee in the first half made one of his numerous outrageous decisions. All of our party hurled the usual abuse at the man in black and one of the stewards came up to challenge the swearing(not OTT) from the chap in the end seat. Now I can accept that a quiet word in the guy's ear to ask him to think of others etc may well have been in order but the steward was right in the face of this bloke threatening to eject him, not once but contantly for about 30 seconds. Then to inflame the situation he went back to his position 5 or 6 feet away from us and just stared constantly at the person waiting for him to slip up again. Having no luck, he then did exactly the same to two other people in the same block in the same fashion, ignoring the two heavyweight boxer lookalikes in the process who were doing the same as everyone else in the crowd. I can just imagine the nob in the pub after every home game feeling smug with himself and telling anyone who will listen how big and brave he is.

Stuliasz Posted 5 November 2006 Posted 5 November 2006 Some guy on the row behind me got a rollocking from a fellow City fan during the game for swearing because as he pointed out there were kids (and Bernie ) a few rows in front of us.
dandannieldanok Posted 5 November 2006 Posted 5 November 2006 I was sat near Gangway Y and the steward there was fine. He got in a chat with my dad about the Hillsbrough disaster and was an interesting bloke.
Fez of Mahrez Posted 5 November 2006 Posted 5 November 2006 If you take your kids to the football you should expect to hear swearing.
Maybes Posted 5 November 2006 Posted 5 November 2006 I got a warning from a steward. He comes over to me and stop those silly gestures I was like wtf. I was in gangway X aswell.

I wonder what he'd be like in a side street on his own and without the force of authorityy behind him? Put a lot of people in a uniform and they become bullies.
Guest Posted 5 November 2006 Posted 5 November 2006 He didnt seem to pissed yesterday. What was the random high pitched 'Derby, Derby' about?
Wils Posted 5 November 2006 Posted 5 November 2006 What was the random high pitched 'Derby, Derby' about? Just exited int eh. He didnt have his facepaint on either.
Libertine Posted 5 November 2006 Posted 5 November 2006 I had the displeasure of making accidental contact with him as he walked past me in the concourse at half time.
