mizer Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 We have all had a run in at some point with the mini-hitlers known as stewards, where is the worst you have experienced and why? Quote
NorthernLights Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 Tannadice has by far the worst stewards from my expierences. God help you if you're stuck in the Jerry Kerr stand. Awful seating and you get no leg room but that doesn't stop the stewards and their police chums from chucking out anyone who dares to stand. Quote
jmo Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 Out of all the stadiums I've been to I've only ever had trouble at two of them (which just so happen to be the two I've been to most often) Pittodrie and Tannadice. They are terrible at Tannadice though, last time I was there they were walking up and down the steps ready to pounce on anyone who dared stand up for whatever reason, with the threat of being chucked out if you don't oblige. Pittodrie isn't great though. Sitting in the South Stand where I do whenever Rangers and Celtic are playing the away fans are always standing up, and sitting in the South Stand right next to the OF fans you have to stand up to see about a quater of the pitch. So every time the ball goes there you have to stand up, and along comes the stewards to ask you to sit down, despite the fact that the OF fans seem to be allowed to stand up. This has got better recently though I have to say, a couple of seasons ago they were terrible for it. Quote
glasgowdon Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 I tend to see more people getting thrown out of Ibrox than anywhere else. Quote
minijc Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 Celtic and rangers have the worst, first time i went to parkhead myself i nearly got chucked out because i over celebrated. Quote
caledonia Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 iprix and Pittodrie for me have the worst stewarts/police they are so bias against us Quote
torry_battery_ram Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 Tannadice by a country mile, always feel I'm gonna get thrown out any second and the evil looks you get even when you head for a pie or toilet at HT is ridiculous. Quote
K-9 Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 Definitely the Dundee stewards and in particular the head steward who is a complete dick. Too many of these supervisors think wearing a luminous yellow jacket gives them super powers to treat folk like shit. Honoury mention to Parkhead stewards aswell for the reasons above. Quote
Aberdeen_Ladette Posted July 28, 2008 Report Posted July 28, 2008 Tannadice, closely followed by a few at Pittodrie (others wee gems!) Saying that, I have never been to Ibrox Quote
Northfield Quine Posted July 28, 2008 Report Posted July 28, 2008 Tannadice, closely followed by a few at Pittodrie (others wee gems!) Saying that, I have never been to Ibrox Both Tannadice and Ibrox!! Have been chucked out of both so very hard to choose one. Quote
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted July 28, 2008 Report Posted July 28, 2008 Dundee/United though special mentions for Ibrox and Parkhead who have had some spectacular individual efforts over the last few years. Parkhead - Steward squared up to me and a couple of others, funny as fuck, his supervisor huckled him Ibrox - The 3-0 game season before last, this young dude had the mad head on, ended up getting huckled by the polis!

TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted July 28, 2008 Report Posted July 28, 2008 I was standing next to you at a game and we got a corner. We all stood up to watch the corner. The setward told you to sit down and you did your usual tirade. Then the police woman said to us that it was ok to stand up every now and then. The steward was gutted he had been over ruled by the Police. That was a good one, aye, she said stand up when you like, don't listen to him or something. "My usual tirade" That's a bit unfair, the boy was a cock! Quote
sheep_shagger Posted July 28, 2008 Report Posted July 28, 2008 I'm going to put the Motherwell stewards at the top here. In the pie que at half time two seasons back and one of them comes up and tells me that the cops have a camera on me so make sure i behave myself. All this because i was standing up!! I think they really meant to be watching Funster though, just so hapened i was standing beside him Quote

sheep_shagger Posted July 28, 2008 Report Posted July 28, 2008 They were total cahnts that day though and they were watching the guy in the light blue jacket, which you were wearing btw I still believe it was a case of mistaken identity!! Dont think there has been that many memorably bad stewards since then, either that or my behaviour has picked up Quote
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted July 28, 2008 Report Posted July 28, 2008 I think some people see getting hassled by stewards as something of a status symbol. I haven't had bother from stewards home or away in years... and even then I probably deserved some of the hassle they gave me. Some fans get aggressive with the stewards very quickly over not very much so it's no wonder the stewards sometimes act that way back. I'm sure alot of fans have had too much to drink In saying that though... http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=7S3cF4h03hw and A.C.A.B. A lot of the time you're definitely right jager and we carry a fair amount of tits in our support but some of the stewarding in this country is laughable. Quote
mizer Posted July 28, 2008 Author Report Posted July 28, 2008 Never had any problems with the stewards at Ibrox, the police however is a different matter. Complained at being hit my a missile form above (AA battery) and the police man separating us from the huns said it wasn't his problem. It was his problem however when his mate 3 rows down was nailed on the back of the head by a coin again from above. He turned round looking at the Aberdeen fans and I just smugly pointed up to the tier above saying should have tried to stop it shouldn't you.... Quote

Guest Caroline B Posted July 28, 2008 Report Posted July 28, 2008 The Nazi's at Tannadice take some beating. Last season at the first match, one decided to throw out my dad cause he called a steward "Elton John". The annoying thing was that the Steward was the spitting image of Elton John! Quote
jmo Posted July 28, 2008 Report Posted July 28, 2008 Only ever been to Ibrox once, had absolutely no bother from the Stewards there. Not had trouble at most stadiums (being such a nice boy trouble rarely finds me) but been victimised by them at both Pittodrie and Tannadice. Quote
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted July 28, 2008 Report Posted July 28, 2008 The annoying thing was that the Steward was the spitting image of Elton John! Probably what the steward thought too! Quote
jmo Posted July 28, 2008 Report Posted July 28, 2008 Do you save all the bother for clubs? I've only had trouble in clubs three times in my life thank you very much, and only two of those times was it my fault. I maintain that protecting a mate who's getting felt up by some drunk bastard is acceptable...bouncers thought so too. Quote
