Hartlepool away
The man in the Ballack kit quite clearly had mental problems (whats the polite way of saying that?).
The two stewards stood next to him were having a good laugh with him and he was doing no harm, cheering Swindon on. He didn't use threatening/abusive language/gestures and yet one steward came over to him, saying that 'I can hear you from over there (the concession stand)'. 'Keep your mouth shut.' He then kept on shhhhhsing him, in a very derogatory way.
He had paid his £17, hadn't done anything wrong and was bullied by this steward so badly that he decided to leave the match shortly into the second half. Surely this shouldn't be allowed. After all, the Germans lost the war, didn't they?
I told the steward that I could hear a couple of the Hartlepool fans shouting on the other side of the ground, but he didn't pick on them.
I'm obviously not the only person who saw this appalling behaviour, so I ask all Swindon/general football fans to e-mail/write to Hartlepool United and or the FA to look into. I could easily recognise the steward if I were asked to identify him.
I'm infuriated in case you hadn't noticed.
Anyone who is saw this or is writing to anyone about this, please let me know.
Why did he pay £1 less than everyone else?
Wearing a football shirt of another team often incites other fans.......
