hogesar 9,500 Posted November 21, 2010 I recently made a thread about the use of language in the football ground. Today went one step further.When Leeds No.8 was arguing constantly with the ref, most of the n&p were chanting W*nker at him. Fair play. Not for the stewards however.They managed to handpick about 30 people (apparently) and tell them if they said it again they were out. Complete over-reaction and everyone around me including myself looked completely stunned and baffled.The biggest irony is they threatened to take us out, yet we had Leeds fans in the N&P who CELEBRATED when they scored! I''ve never come across such a piss take in my whole life. At the very least they should have removed the Leeds fans who were clearly making more trouble than an entire stand actually making some noise for once.

Harry 0 Posted November 21, 2010 The Stewards in the Snake Pit yesterday actually used common sense and didn''t even attempt to get people to sit in their seats as long as the gangways were kept clear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Davo 0 Posted November 21, 2010 That''s how it should be Harry. A bit of common sense from both sides. Fans keep the walkways clear, Stewards let people stand. I wonder if this common sense will be allowed for games after Ipsh!t.Davo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harry 0 Posted November 21, 2010 Couldn''t agree more Davo, the stewards do normally back off for the derby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stupid, they need to get a grip and realise things like that are going to happen at a football match! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NorwichCasual 0 Posted November 21, 2010 I have it on good authority that the scum match will allow standing then "back to normal" quote unquote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
