Today's Game + Stewarding

Played some decent football and scored some quality goals.

 

Diouf and Anelka look to have a top partnership which will get better and better.

 

Terrible away support from England 66. (I thought they were going to bring thousands)

 

The West Ham United performance was one of the worst I have ever seen.

 

Atmosphere was strange, very good in patches but then there would be 20 minute spells where not one song was sung.

 

Stewards were even worse than usual, they must have thrown 15-20 people out near me and not one had done anything sufficient. (One got hit by the steward when they were taking another person out, complained and got dragged out himself).

 

And the half time cheerleaders were very entertaining :blink:

 

All in all a good day and a good 3 points.

 

And I bet Chim or WHUJohn won't pay a visit for a while. MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGS.

i was sat right near that bloke when the orange warriors throw him out its a disgrace. me and the lads i were with are ringing the club tommorrow to complain. they even left his daughter on her own the fcuking muppets

 

Bloody hell, how old was his daughter ??

how much clout do these stewards have ? is it not assault when they man handle people who have done next to nowt wrong ,out of the ground ?

great performance by the team yesterday although west spam were poor

Just a suggestion: Why not contact the Manchester Evening News with the story? It has a bigger readership and if the story breaks there the Bolton News will have no choice but to run with it.

Interesting to note that as far as I can see from this

http://www.flaweb.org.uk/files/frameworkforexemption.doc

it's only been since the start of this calendar year that the FA have had a system up and running to even potentially sort out CRB checks on stewards even though their job will involve manhandling youngsters - whose precise ages they cannot possibly be aware of - and who clearly are responsible for the safety and welfare of children.

theres only 2 words for it... FKIN AWSOME!! brilliant lads just brilliant!. ive alwaysed said davied wud score today.

 

By the way... does anyone know why all the west ham fans was acting like there were 4-0 up at the away side? ::::::::lol::::::::

 

 

 

 

HBAYT?? :pardon:

When mrs meldrew coplained to a steward about my swearing I challenged them to do their job and chuck me out, they never and got the OB to do it instead

lets all mail BWFC

 

they get free access to the game, so they can throw people out who pay.

WHO PAYS STEWARDS WAGES.

 

US !

Weight of numbers counts for nothing, the only way to beat BWFC is to be undeniably correct. Assaulting innocent people and leaving kids without a guardian are wrong, it's up to the people in question to take the appropriate action.

Eddie, nothing to hide from.

 

We played awful, could've been more.

 

Might have been a less convincing scoreline, if Gabbidon had been playing, as he's a pivotal part of our defence, but I don't doubt that the result would've been different, as said on the Teves thread before the game.

 

As for the "What's the point in West Ham" stuff?

 

Same point as any club I guess.

 

Then again, it's not us flying high in the top 6, enjoying a long run in European football last season, occupying our highest league positions for years and years, but still complaining about the lack of crowds and atmosphere.

 

(And that is not a dig at those who actually do try and create one)

The answer is to get your mobile phones on video mode and record whenever the snatch squads are deployed. Collect the evidence of mistreatment post it on websites like this.

I worked at the stadium on match days a few years ago. The stadium safety officer was a guy by the name of Rod Cross,he controlled the stewards and was one of the biggest pr!cks i've ever met in my life.I remember on one occasion he had the stewards throw a bloke out of the ground because he had fallen asleep in his seat!Another time away fans where hitting a beach ball up in the air between a group of themselves,needless to say the to$$er deemed this a 'safety hazard' and told the stewards to confiscate it.What chance do we have of creating an atmosphere with cnuts like that in control.

The point of this reply is that somebody mentioned earlier in this thread to complain to the health and safety officer.I wouldn't waste my breath,if it isn't still that particular tw@t still doing the job its a different,similar tw@t with the same outlook.

Rod cross is still in that job.

Rod Cross - As seen in the Sunday Sport.

I think he's been in the job since the Reebok opened. Originally from the top of Halliwell,his dad was an old school "beat bobby" plod in the 60's and 70's - he didn't take any shit though,and would give us a regular clip round the ear. His lad Rod was never exactly "One of the lads"

Well that explains it then, he was probably bullied and beaten as a child so now this is his way of getting revenge.

 

 

I may make an appearance again soon and cause a riot with the stewards

Fcuking good goals.

 

How good is Diouf !?!?

 

Lucky C??nts!!!!

Leeds are suffering similar to yourselves and BBC Radio Leeds has run a couple of stories on the standard of stewarding at Elland Road. BBC Radio Manchester has also done a small feature so it may be worth you contact your local radio station to see if you can get some coverage as to what is going on at the Reebok.

 

Clubs all over the country are having problems with stewarding and, sooner or later, it will kick off at a ground and we, the fans, will no doubt get the blame.

 

On the subject of stewarding the Green Guide states that:

 

Stewards should at all times be polite, courteous and helpful to all spectators, regardless of the affiliations

 

Stewards should never

 

be seen eating, drinking or smoking in view of the public

use obscene or offensive language

 

They should also where a jacket or tabard with a number on it for indentity purposes.

It is ironic that more and more club managers are speaking out about the atmosphere - or lack of it - in our stadiums. They obviously don't have clue what fans are being subjected to!

My information is that you did not get thrown out but you walked out of your own accord.

I've sat in the North Lower & a housewife in an orange jacket was telling off people for rasing their voices. Is that allowed?

He used to be in charge of the turnstiles at Burnden, indeed it was his call to let anyone with the correct money into the Preston end in 1993 when that was the only part of the ground not sold out. Hardly an appropriate track record for his current role.

 

Wasn't he in the tabloids for knocking off a female steward?

I don't know the McNulty brothers. Are they the head of some criminal gang or other. My informant has no incentive to lie. However I'm not going to argue about it. If you think it makes you look good amongst your friends on here, stick to your version.
