Very disappointed with your Stewards.
 

I thought our two lads who were thrown out today were very unlucky. When we scored and the scorer came over to the fans, the gate burst open and the guys at the front were pushed through and finished up on the ground. I thought the Stewards were coming over to make sure they were O.K., but no, they had to be punished by being thrown out. Pretty pathetic to be honest. I know the one guy by sight, hardly a trouble-maker. He goes to every away game. Didn't spoil the game too much for me, just thought it was uncalled for. As we've played you twice, good luck for the rest of the season. As an outsider, I think you'd be mad to get rid of Coleman, the guy seems to be a brilliant Manager at our level. Regards, John.

Re: Very disappointed with your Stewards.
 

you should blame the referee for your lads getting binned!

if he was on his game he would have booked your first scorer for 'incitement' or whatever it is and then the second incident wouldn't have happened. Rules is rules and they were on the pitch! hard luck though.

Re: Very disappointed with your Stewards.
 

He WAS booked. As was the scorer of the second. Our Manager, Gary Peters was full full of praise for your guy, Mullin. This is what he said on our website.

" I think the difference between the two sides in the first half was Paul Mullin, he murdered us and got them the lead. Luke Jones wasn't dealing with him, so I had to bring Darran Kempson on, who did a better job, but Paul Mullin still bossed the game and was the one person you couldn't stop looking at".

Re: Very disappointed with your Stewards.
 

he's a known admirer of Mullin isn't he?

I think we are expecting a phone call on New Years Day.

Re: Very disappointed with your Stewards.
 

The treatment given to your lads after falling over/through the gate was mentioned at the time. I think the stewards had been on a recent training programme at fieldmill. Joking apart though it did seem an over reaction as the fans where also thrown out in the usual "by the scruff of the neck" manuvre.

Re: Very disappointed with your Stewards.
 

EVERYONE admires Mullin a great footballer who could have played two levels up and done well a couple of years ago.

Re: Very disappointed with your Stewards.
 

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.

Re: Very disappointed with your Stewards.
 

Right then. Stewards are also in charge of safety. I've just watched the incident on virgin media and the gate is clearly unlocked. Health and safety is also the remit of the Stewards. It's not the players or supporters job. The Stewards failed in their duty and our lads paid the price. But don't worry, I've been told the two managed to get back in!

Re: Very disappointed with your Stewards.
 

After watching the highlights of the game, i must agree that it was more than harsh that your lads were thrown out, as it didn`t look like they intentionally ended up on the pitch, i know rules are rules but sometimes a little common sense can go a long way to.

Re: Very disappointed with your Stewards.
 

Sorry to hear that the crowd surge appears to have resulted in your lads getting ejected.

I hope the experience puts no one off coming next season.

Re: Very disappointed with your Stewards.
 

very subtle Haggis! :)

Re: Very disappointed with your Stewards.
 

I'm sure it won't. But if we can get Mullin in January, we might be in another league. ;) Actually, we've heard our striker target is Walker from Bristol Rovers. I've heard the Stewards had a change of heart and let the ejected supporters back in.

Re: Very disappointed with your Stewards.
 

Shrewsbury had the worst stewards I have seen this season.
They where little hitlers.

You got what you deserve.

welsh scum

Re: Very disappointed with your Stewards.
 

Thanks for that, how did you know I have Welsh relatives? I've been insulted by professionals, so you don't bother me. Not sure why we got what we deserved. Do you mean three points? I agree our Stewards leave a lot to be desired, we have our own issues with them. At our old ground, they were a super bunch, very friendly, and some of the ones we have now...well, they're not.

Re: Very disappointed with your Stewards.
 

Well dont get what u are moaning about then if our stewards let them back in, maybe a little control of your over zealous players & fans would of avoided it.

Re: Very disappointed with your Stewards.
 

Two supporters were unceremoniously wrestled from the away end and subsequently spent approximately 15 minutes watching the game from on-top of a nearby hill..

You’d have to be an idiot to not understand what we are ‘moaning’ about, although judging by your terribly inarticulate posting, you evidently are...

Re: Very disappointed with your Stewards.
 

Charming.

Good attendance on Saturday, by the way. Is 1,400 a record at your place?

Re: Very disappointed with your Stewards.
 

Sorry Jaytee, but once again you are quite wrong.
Health and Safety is everyones responsibility, the stewards just uphold it. The other point being, the walkway at the front of the stands is supposed to be kept clear, the stewards are trying their best to do this, only for mindless morons set on challenging authority, which in effect is what a steward is. I am not saying the 2 guys who went on the pitch were in the wrong, but as I've already said and ground regulations also state, it is an offence to go onto the field of play and it was Shrewsbury supporters who pushed them there not the stewards.

Re: Very disappointed with your Stewards.
 

I don't want to be associated with the remarks by agent orange. I enjoyed the piece on Stanley on Sky tonight. I thought they might have shown a bit more of your history. Have a happy Xmas and peaceful New Year. Best regards. jaytee.

Re: Very disappointed with your Stewards.
 

Our posts crossed, ozzy. From what I've been told, a Stanley player went to collect the ball during the warm up and didn't lock the gate. Stewards were watching and also didn't. It was clearly not a pitch invasion, I just thought common sense might have prevailed in the circumstances.

Re: Very disappointed with your Stewards.
 

Well beggar off back to the shrews board then numpty:mad:

Re: Very disappointed with your Stewards.
 

Dont think many would want to either:D Trouble with us our history is doing much better than our current team play atm LOL:)

Merry christmas to you & All the best for the new year

Re: Very disappointed with your Stewards.
 

Bit tough on the lads getting thrown out I agree, but EVERYONE is responsible for their own health and safety, the stewards are there to enforce it, IF they were looking after themselves they would have been behind the barrier.
But I know it happens and personally don't think they should have been ejected, just a harsh word with them and send them back behind the barrier would have been enough.
