Now this is not a thread just having a go at our stewards as one of them is a long known school friend who happened to be born on the same day as me but.....
Today as I reached the ground the turnstile was blocked by 3 stewards looking at said turnstile totally blocking my way into the ground.
I put my hand on the shoulder of the one closest, steward number 72, as you would do in any crowd or busy pub to get past him.
He did not like this and started on me...said I was rude and that I should have asked him to move and that I should not have touched him said i'd pushed him. He was quite aggressive too.
I was very polite in my response telling him that i'd put my hand on his shoulder and he repeated I was not allowed to touch him.
All the while one of the supervisor stewards was stood there....the one with glasses and a beard....and he just looked at the ground.
Now i'm a pretty laid back guy but in any other circumstance this lad may of got a slap instead I told him twice he was out of order and should back off....but more important....
As a person who has been following the Blades since the late 60's the treatment I got today was shocking.
Perhaps the club should encourage fans into the ground and not block the fooking turnstiles!
If a steward can't stand being touched on the shoulder why is he employed????
ps....crap ref too!
