Disgusted with their behavior. Very aggressive towards supporters .can I ask your views please ? We have a very nice young lady at our end of the old people's home, very courteous, smiles a lot, very helpful - even gives the old gits the benefit of the doubt when they are clearly trying it on with the old "just lent my mate my seat for the first half, wile I stood in the Town End, but this seat is spare" ploy. It's a shame she has to spend the whole time watching us instead of the game, especially as we are about as unlikely to cause trouble as you could possibly imagine (I have to help the old guy next to me into and out of his seat!). What sort of job is that - go to football every other week and NOT watch the game?? Mind you, after Tuesday night, I'm beginning to re-evaluate that... |

to many of them have the wrong attitude
the club have been made aware of this several times but don't seem to care
the trouble is to many are use to standing outside bars and clubs but being a football steward is totally different
it's a shame as the club have got lots of things right but this is not one of them

If more of us raise in the right way / right channel it may gain traction.
And yes we have I guess stewards and security; I think the Stewards are less nervous thus less reactive to issues like, comments to the ref, booing the opposition, etc. There is also a fine / blurred line between people raising voices (shouting) and being verbally aggressive. Coupled with that is body language.
So, as fans do with give a perception, that is not correct, thus we are miss-perceived?

I've had a run in with one over parking outside the ground who decided to try and baffle me with laws surrounding parking and threatened to have my car towed away.
Needless to say he was given a swift lesson in what police can and can't and indeed will not do in that area.
There are 1 or 2 who are more than a little overzealous in their attitude.
Most are ok but a little out of their depth.

Problem is people moaned that they did nothing when there was a problem, now its to much.
But they don't just chuck you out or have a word with you for no reason.
How about go to the game, have a few drinks if you want, then go home like 99.9% of the fans do without any hassle

Can agree. Very impolite to me at the Bromley game, the guy on the door of the spitfire lounge.

Never had a problem with the stewards, I've noticed they've recruited the small bloke with the alien head from the town who I think was doorman at Earls (various other joints).

Can't say I've had any problems at all myself. Although I did get "told off" last year for standing with my heel in the yellow hashed area, was all done in good spirit though.

It's not football in a field with a couple of little bus stop type stands ,with a few hundred,standing singly around a rail ...its well over 2k a game , plus we need decent security and there are ground rules ,go read them ,the security guys are fine with the few I go with....wait till you see the absolute #####s that Dover employ before moaning about ours.

Can I just point out that it's 'too', not 'to' - as in 'too many', 'too much', etc.
Thank you.
And, while I'm at it - what's the situation now with bringing drinks into the ground? The first game we went to (pre-season), we were told we couldn't take drinks in and my daughter's bag was searched, but this has never happened again. We haven't tried to take in drinks since, but Tuesday they didn't have any Cokes, so I had to pay £1.70 for a bottle of the evil Pepsi, which everyone knows is the drink of the DEVIL!
This is a step TOO far.
