One Team Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 What on Earth for?! Causing loads of problems in the first half, loads of complaints to the stewards and man handling people when we scored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Team Posted February 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 (edited) Intimidating behaviour from the start, having a go at various people for enjoying themselves singing then when we scored and it went mad as usual they waded into a couple of lads by me, which then caused obvious problems.

The Nest Egg Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 Almost seemed like the security wanted to escalate so that they could 'evidence' problems with the singing sections. Often a bunch of hi viz wearing neanderthals who were either too thick or too unfit to join the police 4 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have no idea why the club felt they were needed, it was very heavy handed and over the top. Even when police have been in there on very rare occasions there hasn’t been any problems. Today they were intimidating from the start of the game and the inevitable flash point came when we scored and a couple of fans were grabbed and man handled for celebrating. I hope this was a one off and the end of this ill thought out and unnecessary introduction. Edited February 15, 2023 by One Team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tin Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 The stewards were jobsworths as usual, but what’s the obsession with singing “I can’t read, I can’t write…” over and over again? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievably patient with the kiddies who apparently can't cope with not sitting with their chums, and practically held their little hands to help them find their correct seats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezo Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 They seemed to be acting like the worst kind of door staff for the first 30 mins, walking around bumping into people, pushing them about, trying to be overly officious and IMHO trying to provoke a reaction. Wasn't there a thread on here last week about the quality of stewards, we now seem to have lowered that bar by getting private security intent on picking a fight with fans/supporters/customers/punters (whatever we are this week). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2015 Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 Some tosser from Winterstoke Road entrance shouting at people Saturday and Today to show their tickets.

Mr Popodopolous Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 (edited) Seems strange, the Singing Section in particular seems to have become a problem for no real reason...looking for a problem in search of a solution? Put another way a solution looking for a problem. If it ain't broke...cause issues in order to 'fix' it. Sounds like the instigators were the Security which is ironic and needless.

Slacker Posted February 16, 2023 Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 I seem to remember a private security firm being used briefly in the East End a few years back.Did'nt go down well with the fans and they seemed to disappear after a few games if I remember correctly. Was actually quite funny. They started off strutting around pretty cocky but I got a feeling they thought had bitten off a bit more than they could chew.I don't think the fans were at all intimidated by them,and let them know.It had the feel of night club bouncer/bullies being shown up for what they are,being out of their depth when they are outnumbered.

Mistake me if I’m wrong but if there were no checks at the top of the steps, wouldn’t you be able to sit anywhere in the Dolman or South Stand? Just thinking she’s checking to make sure people are in the correct block/seat. The turnstiles nowadays are probably just to make sure you’re in the correct stadium/stand on the correct day. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
