O/T Money savers

Only a small amount of pennies to be saved but make a start by getting rid of the Stewards who patrol in front of the dug outs who have already caused a couple of long standing fans to no longer come due to the arrogance of the Stewards concerned.

Patrol as if it was a concentration camp constantly on the look out for troublesome fans to eject or to tell them to pipe down...... :o

Arrogance of the highest order.... :roll: :roll: :roll:

I agree, some of them are way over the top and quite aggressive/arrogant. I've been sitting in D block ever since the stadium opened and never once seen any kind of trouble in blocks C2, D nor E, but some of the stewards haven't "got the memo" that all us oldies aren't there to cause trouble!

A couple of times, my season ticket hasn't worked at the turnstile and the concentration camp guard in the little turnstile box has been particularly nasty/aggressive, saying I was at the wrong turnstile, refusing to look at my ticket to see I was in the right place, just basically grunting to tell me to walk away, meaning I had to join the queue at the booking office window to get a paper ticket instead.

And a few times more recently, there's been a line of stewards "protecting" the pitch at final whistle as if expecting some kind of pitch invasion! Most of us oldies in the seating couldn't get over the barrier if we tried, with or replacement hips, arthritic knees, etc!

It's all a joke that isn't funny at all and actually makes fans anxious and creates a poor atmosphere.

We sit in C2 and more often than not we go up to the Local Choice Suite and onto the balcony...the stewards there are a cracking bunch of people...one in particular..Andrew....a South African lad a gentleman if there ever was one.....we always spend more than a few minutes have a natter before the game starts.. .the ladies up there are are also polite and helpful as well...

So not all are jobsworths...
