Stewards are being hammered on this thread, and for very good reason. Their behavioir the other night seemed to have approval from someone. The Police?, The club? who knows, but it wasn't acceptable by any standards.

By contrast, i went to Doncaster for the 1st round and was body searched on entering the ground there. The difference being, i was approached in a respectful manner by a steward with a smile on his face who made light of his task. His approach wasn't intimidating in the slightest and i willingly obliged. I entered the ground to find the rest of the stewards just as accomadating.

The stance of the stewards on Wednesday night was most definately one of "we are up for a ruck" and was both intimidating and inflamatory. This is something the club must consider when they next employ external stewards.
