Why, oh why do we still have this every fucking game when it never really achieves anything? I was close to being thrown out tonight for refusing to sit down when everyone around us had done so. Fair play to the first lad who I just laughed at, he said 'fair enough, I have to pretend I'm trying'. The other stewards though are complete idiots and wannabe bouncers who actually seem really into it. One of them said 'It's my job so I'm going to make you sit down'. Cunts job pal. In the end we moved to where other people were standing as it seemed we were just about to be thrown out, and were left alone apart from a few glares from the one who didn't like me saying no to him  The lads behind us had said if you sit down then they'll go and you can stand up again. Well that's fair enough, except if you hadn't all caved in they would have left us alone to stand. Was stood in exactly the same place for the Bournemouth game and because a few others wouldn't back down they left it. Now does anyone know can stewards try to forcibly remove you for refusing to sit? And can you get a ban, or is that only in view of arrest? |

never been in the town end so can't comment, but it's the same up in the arkells. spend any length of time stood up and the stewards swarm over you.
i believe they have the power to eject you, although i doubt they could ban you unless you were spinning on your head with massive knives on your feet.
it's not as bad as being told to stop swearing.

In the Town End they let you get away with it if there are enough of you. They come around the front and the area by the Nationwide and they bark until most at the front sit down and the back remains standing. They then give up. Today there was a poor attendence and more people than usual sat down on instruction so we were singled out. Big Chief Lady even said she'd make an example of us And one of them really wanted to batter me for opposing him. |

I think I saw that Amir, do you or your mate have long hair? I was stood 4/5 rows back more towards the middle. Luckily I'm far enough back and in the middle of a "block" so I dont get any shit for standing up. |

Ash, they have been banning people for standing in the Town End - if they're worried about doing something on the night, sometimes they just wait till the next game to give you a warning letter, then ban you if you "reoffend". Although as I understand it they can ban you outright (ie without a warning letter) if they feel you've been especially abusive/violent towards them.
On the general point, it's not the club who want no standing in the Town End, it's the Safety Advisory Group who keep reducing the capacity of the Town End cos of standing and threatening to close it all together. They came very close to closing it last December because of people standing in the aisles, but were persuaded to let us (Trust/SC) try giving out leaflets asking people not to block the aisles. It worked and they backed down that time, but it's an ever-present threat.
