Stewards why bother?

[silverfox]

Just wondering what the stewards are for?

The ones near us just sat smiling while the 2 Man City dick heads ran round the pitch.

Took ages for them to go on the pitch to get them.

The club should be asking for their cash back.

Why pay for something that doesn't work?

 

[Tinoblade]

Yeh they were very slow to react made me chuckle though!

Took FAR too long for the stewards to wake up and go tackle the pitch invaders.

 

[keenzy]

why is it always the slow and unfit ones that chase after them?

I can tell you what I think stewards are for

Hey this is a family board so we don't need detailed descriptions.

I've been to Twickenham for the sevens tournament twice, and round the pitch at regular intervals they have young players from the local rugby clubs. These "young lads" are all in their late teens to early twenties, athletic and usually built like brick shithouses. Their only job is to stop pitch invasions from twats like we saw from Man City, and they are a very effective deterrent. When someone, usually a bit the worse for beer, manages to get onto the Twickenham pitch, it's only a few seconds before they are squashed into the grass by two or three big fast buggers.

Yea they were pretty slow to react plus i dont think it was the best idea leading them towards the KOP once they had cought the Manc twats.

dint the guy in the hoped jumper a) fall over advertising boards when they (finally) got him off pitch and b) try to start a fight with guy at bottom of kop in corner?

First thing I saw was steward running across bottom of BL towards John St, then saw those dicks on field. Well done Paddy for not retaliating to whatever was said to him (they'd been taunting him all 2nd half about his (ex-)mrs). Then they just seemed to be there forever. All stewards and coppers round tunnel and benches just seemed to look at each other as if to say "what do we do" then some unfit looking stewards WALKED into centre from John St end, WALKED up to them, then jogged to rugby tackle 'em.... Although duely DRAGGED them off which was fun

No doubt stewards will all have been told they must NEVER leave their positions, NEVER look at the pitch - only to the crowd and should something like that happen (which it never will.... ) there are certain stewards to deal with it... who were prob on their coffee breaks.

Steve Hicks - sort it out

Stewards are only really needed when things go wrong.

When things do go wrong they ignore it.

So..........

The young steward in front of us at Boro takes some beating.

He stopped 3 10yr old Blades from walking onto the gravel to get an autograph.

What a security breach that would have been.
