I'm surprised this thread hasn't generated more comments than it has. I emailed CTFC to express my disgust at the behaviour of their stewards but, maybe like me, most people realise that nothing will happen.
The only recourse that away fans have towards such legalised thuggery is to refuse to visit grounds where the stewards behave like hooligans. But that means not following your team; impossible for some fans to even contemplate.

But if no away fans turned up at Whaddon Road next season it would cost Cheltenham twice over, not only in lost revenue but also in the money they would waste on paying for the stewards that are not be needed.

I was impressed by the strength of character shown by the Stanley fans who walked out rather than be treated like criminals but, by then, CTFC had pocketed the gate money. Maybe next season Stanley fans should think about whether they want to reward CTFC with more of their hard earned money and spend it on champagne in The Crown instead.
