As a steward who assisted on Saturday, can I say in our defence:
1. The problem lay with the Shrewsbury players and fans. e.g. it has been said that a player opened the gate during practice earlier in the afternoon to retrieve a ball and never locked the gate. Secondly the fans are supposed to stay behind the crush barriers - that is why they are there. If you come passed them and end up on the pitch, you are going one way only - OUT
2. The stewards in question did not randomly pick up the 2 guys on the pitch side, they were told to!
3. Before complaining about stewards - read the ground regulations - every ground has them.
