It was a mess and the amount of police a total waste of taxpayers money ....... all those motorbikes etc.



He's talking about Stoke, as am I, and most other people on here except Jardine, AC Mack & Haway.

You really do love tying yourself in knots.
 
Why have you just reposted what you sent to haway? Do you want me to quote the post where you said exactly what I said in my last post?

I want you to post about the subject of the thread, something you seem incapable of doing.

I assume you weren't there which means the attraction of the thread was the name Reiver .......... although you'll deny it.

Now, do you have anything whatsoever to say about the stewarding at Stoke?
 
I had no problem with the stewards who did a pretty standard search politely, but both inside and out I thought the stand itself bordered on the unsafe. Poorly designed, not big enough concourse and toilet space for the number of fans in the stand.

The stewards inside were canny enough tbh, outside they were a bit too much of the shaved heads & tattooed mentality imo.

:lol: You're the most self important person I've ever seen on here. Here's some news for you Riv, it's not all about you.

As for the stewarding, it's always been fine when I've been, but that doesn't mean it's the same for everyone else.

A couple of seasons ago I had an issue at West Brom*. The automatic turnstiles stopped working and the stewards just sat on their arses while we waited a good 20 minutes for no apparent reason. Iirc a number of us missed the kick off.

I hope it's okay to mention West Brom in your Stoke thread btw. Try not to get upset.

But I'm all you've posted about until Pancho put you in your place :rolleyes:

I'd agree with that.

The police seemed friendly enough and I had no bother with the stewards. It did look OTT with how many police and stewards there were mind. I was struck that there appeared to be far more than normal. Maybe it was just me.

We thought the same mate, especially as many were getting straight on the coaches.

Yes, good point. The coaches were literally just a few yards away. Maybe we are considered a high risk fixture due to numbers? Not sure. However the large numbers of say stewards was evident as were pulling out of the coach park and they were all milling around together.

Not sure if someone has mentioned this but we couldnt get into The Harvester pub. There was a queue outside and the pub/police, were only allowing people in from abut 12.45pm on a one in and one out basis, which seemed massively OTT. We went to The Holiday Inn next door for a few beers and got in there no bother.
