The line of stewards on the pitch at the end.....

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

WTF?!

One of the most bizarre and embarrassing post match spectacles I've ever seen

Who's put them up to it? What is their objective? Are they guarding against the possibility of the impossible pitch invasion ?

Seems part of a concerted effort to suck every last little bit of joy out of football that they possibly can

It’s normal.

Perhaps if fans stayed off the pitch it wouldn’t be needed

Totally normal, been like that for seasons and seasons... did you only just watch ur first football match??

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

There's been zero hint of our fans even thinking about it. Especially in a game like today's where nothing can happen

If you think that today has been standard practice then you've been paying zero attention

 

[Nade]

They've only done it in the last two games, before that it was quite rare

No idea why anyone cared though. Some of you soft lads get worked up over anything

 

[Katzenjammer]

Let's face it, the bootlickers who dominate this forum would defend their honour even if the stewards insisted on sitting on your lap all match.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

If you think that today has been standard practice then you've been paying zero attention

Definitely this season only, since roughly mid December.

 

[Chingo]

Maybe security was upped a little has there is a history of trouble with Cardiff fans

I love it, so funny.
5 stewards linking arms then a 20 yard gap to a 4 ft tall female steward.
Bonkers

Seems to have coincided somewhat with the increased policing of our incredibly dangerous kop

 

[Nightsweats]

They were there to prevent Gary "Maggie May Bottomless Brunch" Sinclair getting anywhere near the microphone to utter completely unintelligible "words" . SAG have introduced a limit on the amount of verbal diarrhea any bunch of fans irrespective of who they support having to listen to more than rhe pre match thing. Good decision IMO.

I were going to steam in to Cardiff lot, but when I saw that wall of steel of battle hardened stewards I stayed put.

 

[10-0 win]

They were out in numbers to see the 3 points not getten stolen

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

You can tell the players are thinking 'WTF?' as well...

For some reason they aren't allowed within 40 yards of their rabid, ferocious supporters who are clearly baying for blood and eager to tear them apart to punish them for winning 4-1

 

[BadgersBigToe]

No but it’s the first time he’s stayed to the end

 

[ShockingBadBuy]

There were more stewards at the BL end than there were Cardiff fans

 

[Stand United]

It was actually standard practice ahead of the closing games of the season, happy to dispel rumours to the contrary.

It’s fucking ridiculous isn’t it?

Totally cringeworthy.

 

[Cappy]

They’re rehearsing for promotion day, seriously. I asked. You’ll have noticed the numbers have been steadily increasing as they get the process sorted, then increase the stewards into it

Club doesn’t want a pitch invasion

That’s a joke, right?

Yes, standing 5 yards apart in a line.

Let’s hope they master it before the season ends!

Seem to recall someone and possibly his Dad getting dealt with for running on the pitch a couple of weeks ago

Tony Adams doing the coordinating

 

[Cappy]

It makes sense to me. The invasion was only a small number when we beat Ipswich, so perhaps this is deemed to be enough to deter altogether

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Let's face it, the bootlickers who dominate this forum would defend their honour even if the stewards insisted on sitting on your lap all match.

Oooo can they do that? How much is it?

 

[Crabstick]

I'm more bothered about the line of twats outside the ground making it 10x harder for a crowd to disperse. What does it achieve?

 

[Harry's Game]

Done it the last few games, I assume it’s a New SAG thing. George got a telling off from the stewards for coming to the Kop last week and Illy got a scolding for going to John St. today.

 

[SwissBlade]

There's been zero hint of our fans even thinking about it. Especially in a game like today's where nothing can happen

In a world full of problems this is probably the very low on the concerns list

It’s a precaution / deterrent. The stewards are there anyway so why not use them

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

No word of a lie, watch after match SUTV , they are in shot lined up at the away end and it's completely empty. Really.
