AG City Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 Just after the game there seemed to be a disturbance in the stairwell of A9 next to section 82. Lots of children screaming and two women visibly upset. Hope everyone was ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James54De Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 It’s was a knobhead steward, again. Yes, fine, kids Al should not run on the pitch. Yes, the club have said things before. However, not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. Steward should have known when to step away to diffuse any situation. 2 2 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day he was just doing his job, the dad shouldn’t have let his kid run into the pitch; actions have consequences The poor bloke then got twatted round the head by a bunch of thugs Bit of a disgraceful end to a good result 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBibs Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 The young kid seemed to get away and then came back round and into the section again, just as it was seeming to calm down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always someone elses fault though right. 120 3 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laner Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 One kid does it and they'll all be running on in future games. Not condoning the stewarding as I didn't see it but it can't be overlooked. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 06stanleyj Posted February 11, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) You shouldn't be on the pitch, simple as that. If you break the rules, accept the consequences. Too many idiots getting involved afterwards, young black steward (not meant as racist, just a description of him) came over to help his colleagues & he just got pushed & threatened by the so called "supporters ". I hope every one of you get picked out by the cctv & get banned, don't need your type in the ground.

The Bard Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 Steward should be sacked. Does not have the authority to manhandle a child. Whoever assaulted him should be banned. As for those outraged by a child running on the pitch, get a grip. We all used to it. Embarrassing from all involved 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezo Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 Kid shouldn't have gone on the pitch but that doesn't give the steward to right to grab the kid and basically treat the kid with the same force he would with a 20+ yo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ChippenhamRed Posted February 11, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 I’d be quite happy with the club banning any parents who allow their kids onto the pitch. It’s not like they don’t know the rules. 41 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It identified him didn't it The older short white male one and the female one were the ones involved. She was also screaming at fans outside when I arrived on kick off. Utterly pointless behaviour.

Flounder Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 I don’t think he was just doing his job As a steward his ultimate responsibility is public safety, he has no legal right to detain anyone, that can only be done by the Police. Not only did he try to detain the child he nearly caused a riot, which I would suggest is not very safe. I think some re-education is required! 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezo Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 The major problem I thought the steward created was trying to keep the kid away from his dad, all the steward had to do was invite the dad to accompany his son for a "little chat" and I'm sure it could have all been dealt with much more calmly - separate a child and parent like that and you're always going to cause the kid to panic and the dad to want to protect. 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Somali kid was about 20. If it hadn't been for him, the incident would have been more serious. He was the only steward other than the 2 who lost the plot who reacted.

James54De Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 Steward escalated the situation. Force that was used was unnecessary, and risked kick back. That is the way SIA training would view it, also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
