Was there a bulge in his flat cap?Despite the shower that is our performance on the pitch, I was wondering last night - who is actually responsible for the stewards etc at the games? Who gives them their orders? Its bad enough that we have to deal with everything else wrong with the club, to then be subjected to all their nonsense! By nonsense I mean that last night:
1) i wasn't allowed to enter through one of the other turnstiles as it wasn't my designated turnstile
2) at said turnstile i was subjected to a pat down, yet they still missed the bottle of water i had in my coat pocket
3) i looked on in disbelief as a fresh out of his mum steward made an elderly gentleman take of his flat-cap to check under it.... A FLAT CAP!!! THE CLUES IN THE NAME!
4) During the game - the stewards seemed hell bent on running up and down the steps in the naughty corner seemingly trying to suppress the ounce of atmosphere the lads were trying to drum up!
Its a joke. Bad enough that i still drag my ass up there every week, but to then be put through this circus is beyond me!
no idea if its the club asking for the over the top checks or they work for the stadium.
Our club has to be able to show that they are doing what they can to the FL to stop demonstrations that interfere with play. The problem with SISU is that they are either too much or nothing at all in what they do.I asked a steward on the turnstile what was the reason for the frisking. He told me for anything I was likely to throw onto pitch. The toxic state of this club, now the fans are expected to riot over the next few games. The last game of this dreadful season should be interesting. I recommend everyone staying away. Empty stadium.
Stewards are rarely paying attention. I'm diabetic so always took cans of coke with me, start of last season I was told no cans allowed and they took them all off me. Every week since, I've taken cartons of juice with a can of coke in my bag. They ask me to open my bag they have a look inside, clearly pay no attention and just let me in. If you wanted to, you could take anything in the ground with you i'm pretty sure all of the checks are for show.
I enter at T23 but the last couple of weeks there has been someone stood in front of T22 not letting people in and then randomly decides to ask people to go in T22 instead of the others, what's that all about?
Just typed that as I did about the bags.
It renders the whole pat down useless, as you just put stuff in your bag.
You see I can see the news in the article to and including quoting Stupot .................... but the point of the stuff beneath it for umpteenth time is?
So basically its all about change and the stewards, like most people, do not like change. The safety committee have insisted on improved standards following the CCFC protest disruption and if that improvement doesn't happen the stadium licence is at risk so unsurprisingly the stadium owners have taken control to remove that risk
I have heard this from a few sources now but apparently this is mainly down to Wasps.
Wasps basically want to run all stewarding at the Ricoh (a nice little earner as they can stick management charges on top), and tried to force the club to accept this in the summer. The club refused as its not part of the current rental agreement.
They have made the stewards life quite difficult, they are scrutinising everything they do, and are on their backs if they aren't following correct procedures and are collecting evidence to try and force the club into accepting the new arrangements.
This is the reason the stewards are being particularly pedantic.
Must say, it pisses me off getting padded down when I'm going to a game with my 6 year old and 84 year old grandad. And checking my ticket going into the block seat I've sat in since we've been at the Ricoh!!

So why at the rugby do we not get searched or tickets checked ?
It's CCFC influenced due to recent events I suggest.
Also as a Block 20 season ticket holder I pay more for my ticket so I assume that's the other checks I've had inside.
Again it never happens at Wasps games although the price differential is substantial.
Hopefully all blocks will be the same price in L2.
Why do they even ask to see the ticket at the top of the steps, how the fuck do they think we got through a turnstile with stewards right next to them?
I was told by a steward that a lot of you scum are coming for entertainment on childrens tickets - crime punishable by hanging clearly
