Sammy, is there a complaints procedure for people who have OTT treatment from stewards?
What would happen if there were constant complaints against a particular steward? Would he/she be at risk of losing the job?
I'm just thinking about all those sp*rs supporters that the club employs
and theorising that those people would display a level of cuntishness which would be unthinkable from Gooner stewards such as yourself. That guy in Club Level who just got a mention (twice) in this thread. Would he happen to be sp*rs? Could you find out?

If you have a complaint the best way is to write to the club stadium management outlining your issue and if at all possible a description of the steward. They all have a number so as with anything that would help.olgitgooner wrote:Sammy, is there a complaints procedure for people who have OTT treatment from stewards?

speaking as an experienced ex steward (wembley, Leeds Utd, York City, Scunny) I would chip in with the following.
Generally I did the job to watch football and get paid for it as did most of my colleagues. So I cant see why if I was a **** I would want to work at the grove. whatever floats your boat I guess.
We were paid minimum wage hence would do anything for an easy life. i.e. I wouldnt go out of my way to be an arsehole to someone for standing usless the person was totally lairy and pissed.
If a steward tells you to sit down, just play the game and sit down. They're not telling you for their own health, they're likely telling you because a supervisor has instructed them to speak to you, hence when a steward tells you to sit down its more then likey that a supervisor or camera will be watching you. So if you fancy kicking off at this point your card is definitly marked.
Just sit down then you can stand up 2 minutes later when the next piece of action warrants it, and stay standing. Steward comes over 10 minutes later and tells you to sit down again, you sit down again, and the cycle continues. Like I said just play their game, and dance to their tune.
After the Justice Taylor enquiry after Hillsborough their was a clause in the report which was later incorporated into law that said when in a football stadium a steward has final say on a matter on safety over any other law enforcement officers.
i.e. If their was a right fucking wind up merchant fan who was pissing me off something rotten (usually a Leicester fan) I would simply summon over a police officer and instruct him to arrest the twat. I didnt need to explain to the police officer why or justify it, all I just had to say the magic phrase " I believe him to be a threat to public safety and would like you to remove him from the stand". bye bye time. I used this to great effect at Ellend road when my supervisors would routinely put me on the away fan divide when the **** came to town (as my supervisors knew I was a gooner).
I know some stewards can be twats who abuse the above power, but then again in any walk of life if you give someone a luminous jacket they become a power crazed hitler monster. Like sammy said, most stewards are decent people their to watch the game also.
At the end of the day the clubs have to enforce the no standings rulings rigidly as I mentioned above its because of the Justice Taylor report after Hillsborough. Failure to comply with its findings (which standing plays a big part of) means huge fines, playing behind closed doors and even getting expelled from the league. Understandly this is one thing ALL clubs dont fuck about with.
This is why the campagin to get safe terraces back a la germany would be the best thing to happen for us.
for the record also. I like to stand at games, and was a nice steward with a proud record of getting 9 **** arrested and evicted from grounds.
