The fans purposely kept it till half time so it didn't affect the game at all and the stewards couldn't get in quick enough to take it away. one of the vale fans ran on to the pitch and put it in the back of the net, to which their fans celebrated as if they'd equalised. All good humoured fun. So why spoil it????????? Surely a bit of commonsense from the stewards would have been enough.

If the Valiant fans decided to kick a big inflatable ball onto the pitch and cheer on one of their fans who technically broke the law, right in front of the Police incident room behind them, it's hardly the fault of the poor steward who gets the call on their radio to confiscate it.
A lot of the stewards are volunteers. Maybe anyone who criticises them should volunteer for a while first to make sure they know what they are talking about? Just a suggestion.

All stewards are paid, have been since promotion. Volunteers are scarce at Christie Park.

Ibrox 1963- Problems on stairway 13 led to two people dying. Despite improvements, in 1971 a crush on the same stairway led to 66 people dying and around 200 injuries. Lessons weren't learnt.
