Deliberately trying to provoke an argument - utter cunts.

Can't see, what is it?

Any idea how Jones came to be involved? At one point was up behind block one then seemed to be moved into the corporate but by a red jacket steward? Atleast it looked like Jodi anyway

Stewards asking fans to sit in the right seats (looks like they might have been sat in a block that wasn't open as nobody else seems to be sat there on the video, maybe you just can't see them). Fans won't move to where their tickets are so others start having a go at the stewards.

Simple tip to avoid this problem in the future: buy a ticket for the seat you actually want to sit in :happy:

From what I heard some of the stewards didn't believe he was a player and wanted to see his ticket

Or stewards can apply a basic level of common sense.

If I've got a job to do, I do it properly.

"Don't worry about it boss I was applying common sense, see you monday"
"No you won't"

So you don't have a job that requires you to exercise some common sense. I am not entirely surprised.

Personal attack within one post. Out of ideas already?

I do hope he didn’t try the ‘do you not know who I am’ card :emoji_joy:

Nobody comes out of this looking good. The stewards could well be being jobsworths but it's their job. They aren't there for a laugh and have no doubt been told what to do.
The people kicking off, just sit in your fucking seat. Kicking off and filming it isn't going to get you anywhere.

You’re right about being told what to do. One thing for certain is that this sort of thing wouldn’t happen if Chris O’Neill was able to do his job without interference.

Some of the people I sit with at the Ricoh feel the same way about him.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Got tickets in different blocks when buying on the door with my 10 year old. Mmmmmmmmm

Well if he is old enough to go to a checkatrade game he's old enough to sit in a different stand..........
seriously though doesn't make sense as long as your not in someone else's seat why should it matter, not like it was a full house.

 

[Nick]

I didn't sit in the seat on the ticket and had no issues, where was it?

There was a thousand people there you muppet!

 

[CovBurty]

if a match steward tells me to sit in my ticket number seat. when I don't want too. in an empty stadium. I would just keep moving around. what's the point of this heavy handed shite? it's bollocks.

 

[Nick]

Was it a particular block they were doing it in? There wasn't really many stewards down by the Jimmy hill flag end

 

[hill83]

I know.

The whole thing is a nonsense. Calling stewards cunts for doing their job, albeit over zealously? Bit harsh.

 

[Mcbean]

Ronnie Pickering ?

Think it was the same as the game before which resulted in the safety announcement coming over the PA system. I was in block 1 for both and it was to my right so guessing it was 3/4 maybe?

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

We paid on the gate last night and were told by one of the stewards that we HAD to sit in the right block for our tickets. Apparently the stadium safety officer has insisted on it to the stewards and he'd had a real bee in his bonnett about it. Had a bit of a chat to the steward and he told us that they had no choice but to do what they were told as the safety officer called the shots and the club had little or no say in what went on at all. I think that the stewards were as pissed off about enforcing pointlees rules as the fans were.

In that case I retract my earlier statement that the stewards were acting like cunts. It’s the safety officer who is the c**t. How can it be in the interests of “safety” to provoke a needless confrontation wth fans?

During my working life I have applied my own judgement as I saw fit, usually based on experience or, as some call it, common sense. I am yet to be fired for doing so.

Ah, so you sit with Grendel?

What's he worried about??

 

[ccfctommy]

And at Luton it was unreserved seating.

No wonder people don't want to go.

 

[stevefloyd]

Ouch......

Should be "Oucho"

 

[stevefloyd]

Dont the idiot powers that be realise that if there is a good relationship between fans and stewards any time a steward has a problem with a twat that there will be good people to help, if said steward is heavy handed and being a twat and something kicks off the same potential helpers will sit there and laugh

 

[hotrod]

Due to an expected low crowd I expect there were fewer stewards than usual so I suspect that the stewards tried to keep the crowd in a manageable area to make it easier to steward.

was you there?

When paying on the gate you get given a random ticket. 4 of us went up and when we checked the tickets they were not together. So we sat in a different block with plenty of empty seats. Stewards instead of using common sense went OTT. If it was a sell out I would understand but there were so many empty seats there!

Yeah especially after how nasty it could have got had those 1,400 could have got towards the 42 away fans!

Ah but are you self epmloyed ?

 

[Nick]

Seen a video now (no sound) of people arguing with stewards.

Were they just moving them out of a particular block? Both games I just sat in a random seat and had no issues.
