Having listened to the conversation between Jase and the stewards and having talked to them myself it was apparent that the stewards were only following orders regarding the 'removal' of flag poles. And although i'm in agreement that on many occasions this season the stewards have been 'over the top' in their approach I would also suggest that they may have been following orders/guidelines on many of these occasions also.
Either the stewards are doing their own thing and if so should be brought into line or the instruction from MS is either inappropriate for the circumstances or lost in translation. Whatever the scenario surely its up to the club to address the situation quickly in order to avoid losing punters that it can ill afford to lose. Ilyas calls it transparacy, in Saturday's case I believe the word is communication! If the club had had the forsight to discuss their concerns regarding flagpoles (prior to the match) directly with one of their most loyal supporters i'm sure a positive solution for all would have been found, it may have also assisted in building relations with the stewards.
