Stewarding
Firstly, well done everyone who was a steward yesterday, I didn't envy you the job of sorting that lot out...
However, forget the yobs from YCFC as we can't do anything about them, yesterday was embaressing from our clubs point of view.
Our ability to handle the away fans must surely be looked at & improved from Saturday. It started when we failed to stop them hanging their banners over the advertising. We should have stopped it there & then & it got worse from there. We accepted £10,000 plus from York City & should in future invest some of that back in making sure we can control the unsavouries within their support.
It smacks of crossing your fingers & hoping nothing happens
Stewards should have been within the terrace not on the pitch, fans should be ejected if they throw things on the pitch, Darren needed some protection & got none
Away fans should be forced behind the barriers, we let them do whatever they wanted.
Oh & I think nightclub bouncers could be used but probably should be dressed as stewards. Less likely to antagonise......
All in all, off the pitch , a shambles!
But not a dig at anyone involved just think we need to prepare a little better so it doesn't happen again
