Why? Because all of your fans are double hard barstewards who can handle themselves if things get nawty? Grow up mate. I don't think the issue yesterday was the stewarding per se, I think it was the fact that the West Stand should have been opened. Then, when a load turned up at kick off, there would have been no issue with a full stand (quite the opposite).



Anyway, apart from the tool pipe near me who continually sang to Matt King 'are you a black man in disguise' I thought the Rovers fans were a good bunch on the whole and I enjoyed watching their team play.



71 - RL supporter has a go at stewards for thinking they are '10 men' then, in the next breath, says that if said '10 men' stewards DID kick off implies that they would get battered.....is that irony?

No ...it was a funny comment that's all....I laughed anyway.







whats up did you only get runner up....!









boom boom ...I'm here all week....

*cringe* I bet you fans are 'propa nawty' right?



I disagree with your assessment I think they dealt with the situations (caused by ed up Fetherstone fans) well. If you are going to turn up late don't expect to get a spot exactly where you want one - they can't allow people to stand on the concourse due to health and safety reasons and that is why they were moved from there. Those fans that didn't stop complaining should have been thrown out if they weren't going to comply with the ground regulations.

Totally agree. They were vexed up ("having drank the town dry from 12 o'clock"icon_wink.gif, then arrived late, then were a bit suprised to see a busy stadia and got confused, frustrated and angry.



The "best in breed" bloke was jabbing fingers at the stewards and mouthing obscenities. He should have been ejected for sure.

Nah, sadly not. Hubris on behalf of the flat capped one, maybe.

The Mancs came off second best in that one.

Who with? The two stewards who went into the group?

They went in ragged a few out.

ok, I know Rovers. He wouldn't want me to speak for him anyway, so I won't!!



So leaving his diatribe aside for a mo! I'm 49 - a long time since I was a young un predisposed to shouting daftness and I've never been one for getting involved in aggro. Who needs it?? I'm a nurse and again not prone to agression and conflict. I spend a good deal of my working life involved with conflict resolution!!



I arrived at noon, had 3 pints, (that's not far off my limit these days), then along with a mate I walked across to the ground having good craic with the wire lads outside the ground before entering the stadium at 3.45. SO far so good.

Once in the ground it was mayhem. The steward appeared to be blocking off some stairs to some fans whilst others were virtually shoving us up the ajacent stairs!!! The communication between the stewards/management was confusing as conflicting messages were given to different stewards.

And whilst most stewards were ok and tried to help, there were a couple who did take the rise. The one rovers so eloquently refers to was indeed an arrogant @rse, who represents your club. I found his tone and manner ill mannered and unnecessary and likely to cause confrontation. Is this right?? Of course there is always the "beer" scapegoat. i.e. "Opposition fans must have been p!ssed so it's their fault"! True, some were and maybe it's right to question the behaviour of those fans.

However, when the STewards who are representitives of your club behave in a manner which I don't expect from a club of Warrington's history, stature and position in the game, then that too is worthy of comment.



Sour grapes??? Nah. I've seen Fev lose to far worse opposition that Wire in my time, and will do again!! If I wanted glory, I wouldn't be a rover. I had proper good craic yesterday and enjoyed a belting day out. But seriously those stewards - one or two of them were very poor. Their management too leaves a lot to be desired.

I stand in the South Stand every game I am not young, far from it but up until this year I have enjoyed the banter. This year it has changed, different people, different standards, to many stewards making me feel intimidated it's as if they an willing something to kick off. Maybe it's time for me to retire to the other stands. I must think that it was short sighted to leave the West Stand closed.

i went into the club shop today and exchanged my south stand season ticket for a north stand one.



last 3 home games have really put me off the south stand.
