Away end stewards

[diplomat]

My son was on the away end stewarding. He was in a full on fist fight with one kid. The kid who got on the pitch ( twice)was tackled down by my lad and another steward, dragged out and arrested. Eventually. All this shit, for about £7 an hour.

Good lad. Do you get to choose whether you fight away fans or get a cushy standing on the corner of a home stairwell looking bored detail for the day? I’d hate to actually enforce anything and I’m sure most of those employed to do so feel the same.

Will the pitch invader now have a banning order due?

 

[Bladesman]

Would it have been better for 4 or 5 stewards and coppers to have spent 10 minutes chasing him round the pitch?
Maybe the memo from TV company to FA (or vice versa) recommends not making it into a spectacle?

Maybe just stop him going on the pitch since it is their fucking job.

If you are cool with it though maybe we should all run on the pitch next time we score a goal?

Only if it’s in fancy dress like Leicester away when Humpty Dumpty and a man riding an ostrich invade it’s much better.

Wow...

[SW12 to S12 to S18]

I'd happily PAY 7 quid an hour to legally rough up some Leeds fans

You’ll have to get in the queue, I got my application in for that job way before you.

Granted the end of season promotion and relegation deciders the exception.

I think G and H block must be commended for not joining the L3eds scum on the pitch and not rubbing his face into BL mud.
Jammy twat and all for a 1-2 defeat

 

[Numpty's Dusty Ruts.]

More interested how they got the banger/firework thing into the stadium.

They"search" people in a very random way. I have a very big birthday later this year which involves a 6 and a 0 (unfortunately in that order!). Nobody appears bothered about searching me. I wear a big coat but clearly look respectable!

This is the point - they don't get paid enough to be taking on nutters from Leeds or Millwall.

Yeah but it would be nice for those of us who like a bit of ruffty tuffty to give it a go. I’m quivering down below just thinking about it.

I've gone from being searched only twice in my entire life of visiting the Lane a couple of years ago, to now getting searched every single week.

Today, the steward had a double sweep.

 

[pblades]

Always thought they were amongst the harshest in football, dragging people out for the slightest thing.

Based on the last two games, they must now be the most lenient. How do long do you reckon that Leeds fan could've stayed on the pitch for?!

Im absolutely astounded that someone from the front on the south stand didnt run on the pitch and volley that tw@ straight in the dial, if i wasnt on row LL id of been on, he totally took the piss out of us, the way he did the klinsmann dive then run all the way back and jumped back into the scum end without steward/police intervention is baffling.

 

[Good Pinch Of Snuff]

like the cunt and his GF away at Leeds after the game, they're total knob ends

you’re a marked man
don’t blame them

 

[Derbyblade1968]

Won't be long before a blade or blades run on and knock them out.

 

[Barnstoneworth]

I used to steward at Barnsley when Bassett was there, we were expressly told NOT to chase pitch invaders , when Sky cameras were there that was double reinforced. Can remember one , on his second lap blowing of his arse and supervisor still wouldn't let me go on.
They had a play off and we were told to let them on, some twat punched me , I hit him back and got kicked around the pitch. I was rescued and managed to collar the lad who started it. Cops let him go as 'it's what I get paid for'.
Craziest ever in my time were Man City, they trashed to concourse and were trying to drag cops into toilets. Our lads in there were all doormen and fought their way clear. Police rode 4 horses into concourse, with baton charge following, it was carnage.

He/she obviously liked what they felt.

 

[ElephantBlade]

I've never prayed for acid rain as hard as when that dildo licker had done his stupid dive. Like full on buckets of burning acid.

I thought the stewards dealt with it very well, was in Westfield and I could see a few of them not taking any shit from Leeds dark fruits army of spotty little cunts who've whiffed a barmaids apron for the first time.

Fuck Leeds.

 

[west_yorks_blade]

Speaking of Leeds Bell ends, did anyone see that gathering of their finest outside the convenience store on the corner of Cherry street, swinging vodka from the bottle and being twats before kick off?

Having walked past SYP patrols in their riot garb as far away from the ground as half way up Eccleshall Road, I couldn't believe they were allowed to congregate there with no Police interest in them at all.

 

[Deadbat]

Remember that fan at Tranmere (Blade fan in the wrong end I assumed) at a 0-0 under Wilson. Came on from their end and walked the lenght of the pitch. Clearly had taken some substances and stumbled round like Bez. Went the whole pitch. Incredible.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

I thought it was very sporting of the 200 hundred stewards to let the retard run around the pitch for 10 minutes, fall on his arse and look a real cunt, try and give the scum's bleached blonde no.10 lady boy a BJ, run around for another 10 minutes for the hell of it, shake hands with every Weeds player and then be politely allowed to return to his seat.

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

But woe betide I try and sneak an ale up in my sleeve....

 

[Numpty's Dusty Ruts.]

Sorry I did mean pissed off lol

Fair enough,apology accepted!

Last week on '999, What's your emergency?', a security guy at Asda, Swindon chased a wino shoplifter who'd just nicked a couple of bottle of Courvoisier. In the struggle, the wino fell down some stairs and onto his front, smashing the bottles. He died and they were going to charge the security guy with manslaughter. They later dropped the charges. Meanwhile...

Must be especially galling when the coppers all on good salaries/overtime rates stand there mob-handed, scratching their arses while the club pays through the nose for the privilege.

I saw a nice little convoy of vans from Durham Cuntstabulary on Eyre Street after the game, parked up near Novotel. Probably filling in their overtime forms.

It was bizarre but we tend to forget we had hundreds on the pitch versus Northampton (for goals same as today not at the end), I recall one fan running on at MK and a few ran on at Rochdale and Peterbrough and a few others. Wasn't there the Blades who ran across the pitch at Bradford too and into the other stand? Lots of Blades found that hilarious. Think some have double standards! He was a nonce but many of our fans did the same last season and it matters little if it is a promotion game or not. Our fans ran on to celebrate a goal. Not sure any of them got arrested either.

Not condoning it at all for either the knobhead today or some of our lot. They should all be taken to task. Why do fans feel the need to run onto the pitch? Are they that desperate for attention. Granted a few may spill onto the tracks if players go to them to celebrate but sprinting onto the pitch - why?!!

I don't think any of our fans would be daft enough to emulate this kid at Elland Road next time we play there. He'd have his head kicked so far up his arse it would be coming out of his mouth. There is a difference between doing this at a benign ground such as the ones you mention and a high risk match where a riot could ensue. OK, neither are acceptable but there is a distinction to be made.

Not sure that would cut much ice in court. 'I thought it was ok my lord as it was Spotland and noone would care?'

You go on the pitch then you go on the pitch regardless of what the situation or game. I was surpised no steward approached him or chased him but as others have said they get paid pittance - I was more surpised 2 or 3 coppers just stood and watched. What would have happened if he had gone up to a player and goaded him?

I recall several United fans doing this at home to Forest in the cup to the keeper and nothing happened.

He was a knob today but we have many fans who have done exactly the same sadly...and as I say not sure the game or when it happens should make no difference.

I wasn't condoning any pitch invasion if you read my post. I was just comparing the different degrees of severity of consequence.

Must have been the same convoy that decided to park directly outside Lord Nelson. One Plod got out looked through the window and said it looks ok inside some families in there in a North East accent. They got told around 80 Leeds fans were walking down Arundel gate unescorted, they hadn't got a clue where Arundel Gate was. SYP need to hand out some A-Z's.
