Leeds Stewards

[JakeShingler]

That fat steward again:mad: I was just to the right of Kilworth on this video. He threatened to chuck me out at one point along with my girlfriend, her dad my mate and girfriends cousin. In the first half a young lad in a light blue trackie top got chucked out, it must really give him a big confidence booster chucking a young lad out. I'd like to see him try and chuck a fully grown adult out.

PS: Go on atmosphere Dad, you tell him

Yeh i was with him he came up from London.

That Head steward sort was a twat. He waded up into the top tier of the SE corner and picked a random teenager at half-time and chucked him out. To be fair, our steward was alright and ran after his 'boss' and persuaded him to let the lad back in. He also let me stand at the top because some chavvy cunts had took my seat lower down!

The heavy looking ones, and the one in the russian hat on the top tier were plebs and have no place at football matches. They might be big but as soon as a few fans tell them to fook off, they soon get their 'top man' involved.

'Sit down fella, else you'll have to go'

'I can't sit down'

'Why?'

'I'm trying to send a text and it doesn't work if I sit down, so fuck off'

'One more word out of you and you're out'

'I am not sitting down, so fuck off Stalin, you commy bastard'

I have no idea how he wasn't nicked.

I love Daves Dad :laugh:

I'm glad I wasn't the only one to spot Stalin!

The stewards shouldve asked the fans to sit down once, then when they didn't they should've given up, as it was really annoying watching them getting row by row to sit down, then they would be back to square one when the fans starting singing 'stand up if you love Leicester' That was funny

I was the starter of this at the front of FA1 to the right of the video shown. Thats what i got threatend to be chucked out for, for starting this song. Leeds Stewards are the worst i've ever seen at a Football game.

Huddersfield was probably just worse. Must be something about West Yorkshire.

[Sods]

Lildaves dad is a legend.

[Floating Fox]

Was going to say this as well. They even got me to sit down for the majority there.

Huddersfields were truly awful. Wankers the lot of them.

[Tommeh]

Me and Tubes were the only ones who stood at Udder's.

Actually no 2nd half I think we were all down at one point it was just pure comedy how bad it was.

Cheds tigers remark will be with me forever.

Lots of people on here aren't going to like what I have to say but I'll say it anyway:

The Leeds stewards were just doing their job. Admittedly at time they took it too far, telling people to sit down when they had stood up for throw-ins etc, but the rules are there for our own safety - it's an old ground and safety has to be paramount - it's not as if the atmosphere particularly suffered. What's more, kids go to the games - they can't see if you're standing up all the time and people don't seem to consider that as much as they might have paid £27 for a ticket, so has the kid('s mum) behind you who can't see.

Secondly some of our fans were being absolute ****s. Literally picking fights with stewards for the sake of it. They should have been chucked out in my opinion so for people to come on here and complain about what was generous stewarding on that front is a bit cheeky.

You may not have been doing anything wrong but there were people acting like twats and if you break the rules, you get punished. That's life. The guy was just doing his job, it doesn't matter how old the kid in question was.

But do you not think designated safe standing areas would solve all of these problems?

[Guest Bilo]

Such a contrast with the stewards at Swindon. I sat for 5 minutes in that game and they didn't even look at me twice.

The rules are not for our safety.

They are there to keep us in "our place".

Why is it safe for 15 minutes at half time ? Answers anyone ?

Me - boring, sat down all the game; had to bob left to right as a procession of stewards came past me on the bottom row of the upper tier.

[JoeyB]

You have concerts at football grounds and they can stand.

some rugby games at football grounds you can stand and take beer into, you can't at football grounds? Why?

its just all bullshite tbh.

Should hve terraces or standing area's on the back 3/4 rows where people can stand.

I was in the upper tier to the right (yellow seats) and i know some people moan because they can't see, but being at Leeds you would expect fans to stand, and anyone wanting to sit should've tried to get tickets for the front row, but i did feel sorry for you lot as they wouldn't give in asking you to sit down, then at half time i saw they got 2 men to speak to afew people then the police come over and i think walked afew people out. I think some peopel mustve moaned to the stewards about it

I suppose you have never gone over 70 on a motorway have you?

Whilst incidents take place like the one at Cov, then the authorities will take the view that we all must be treated like yobs.

I have to say I'm with TTFN on this one Santiagofox, no offence meant.

1. I think the rules are there in the main for our safety.

2, You are right that the rules are there to 'keep us in our 'place'. Disasters such as Hillsborough proved that for the saftey of the masses, because of the actions of a smaller number of dickheads, we 'needed' to be kept in our place (compared with concert goers etc). Whilst fingers were pointed on that day quite rightly at certain police and ground procedures, I take the Brian Clough line, albeit unpopular with some, that the majority of blame should be shouldered by those idiot supporters that tried to get in for free and who pushed their way in swelling the crowd etc. Supporters over a number of years showed that they had to be controlled at times for their own safety.

3. At half time a considerable number of supporters leave to go to the hospitality area's therby giving more room in the stadium itself. The atmospere is also shall I suggest less passionate during the break as opposed to when the match is on i.e. when chatting, munching on kitkats etc, therefore there is less chance of crowd surges and accidents.

4. I always admittedly liked to stand up in the old kop and the atmosphere it created is nothing like nowdays. Perhaps a half seated, half standing stadium (with plenty of space left by using a strict monitoring of crowd entrance numbers) may be an answer, but I can't honestly see that happening in the near future.

5. As it stands therefore, the rules are the rules and you have to sit down and we all have to put up with it. Yes, it is a pain in the arse if some therefore selfish idiot and his two mates then stand up in front of you so that you and your kids so you can't see when you've also paid £27 for a ticket. The danger is then that more people have to stand up just to see and possibly stand kids on seats (really safe). Many of the people standing up perhaps don't want to at all but don't have the confidence to ask the selfish person/group in front to sit down for fear of reprisals. Therefore. if you continue to stand up when told to sit down by a steward and get thrown out, don't start bleating, as you ask for all you get, in fact I'd ban you from all grounds for the rest of the season. Supporters in the past brought the situation on all by themselves so lets not conveniently forget that.

Happy New Year anyway!

Safe standing would fix these problems; people who want to sit wouldn't be inconvenienced either.

I actually think it's more dangerous, if only slightly, at half time as people struggle to get past other people on their row; often these people are struggling with flasks of hot drinks. The only time it has been dangerous was when people stood on the seats in the last days of the Kop.

Vote Liberal for Safe Standing!
