Re: Cheltenham stewards
 

I could be mistaken here, but I was under the impression that the clubs safety officer (Mick or Caroline) could ask to see/have a copy of the cctv footage if they so wished. If said footage then showed the numpty who decided to let a smoke bomb off in the ground (allegedly) and or fans abusing the Stewards/Police then ASFC could take action against them if it was deemed to be appropriate. If, however as I suspect, none of the allegations are truthful, then surely the Club would then be in a position to refute them and demand a fuller explanation?

Perhaps MrT may be in a position to confirm/deny my assertations?

Re: Cheltenham stewards
 

Fair comment but the fact remains that that one isolated incident did not warrant the treatment the Stanley fans received that day & that was not the reason/excuse given for detaining either of the two who were arrested.
As has already been said on this thread, fans from other clubs have had similar experiences at Cheltenham & some specifically mention the same steward who was involved in the rough treatment of the 15 year old & yet CTFC seem determined to back their stewards to the hilt & put the blame squarely on the Stanley fans.

Re: Cheltenham stewards
 

agree, but not relevant, the steward involved was a thug,idiot, n knobhead. simple as, Hitler started WW2, but ya wouldn't blame "All" germans.:rolleyes:

Re: Cheltenham stewards
 

Who wouldn't? :D

Re: Cheltenham stewards
 

I'm afraid I think setting off the smoke flares (there were two during the game, to be accurate) is relevant, if only because doing so was likely to wind the stewards up. Not enough to justify what happened subsequently, but something to cost us at least some of the moral high ground and give CTFC something to use in their defence of the indefensible. And of course it's stupid, and potentially dangerous. Numpty is right for whoever set it off, though I wouldn't disagree with "thug,idiot, n knobhead" for the steward either.

Re: Cheltenham stewards
 

The club asked for a full report from cheltenham and the police after the game.

Re: Cheltenham stewards
 

Cheers Mab, I wasnt there so couldnt be sure !

Re: Cheltenham stewards
 

:) Dont know the out come,but it was asked for pete :)

Re: Cheltenham stewards
 

Just spoke to Mr S (he's on a safety course at present)

Yes he's asked for information, as yet no reply
(unlike Crewe who replied immediately)

See you ALL tomorrow!!:)

Re: Cheltenham stewards
 

That's interesting, over two weeks since the Cheltenham game & Mick still hasn't had a reply from CTFC. If they were sure their actions were justified surely they'd have sent the necessary information by now.

Re: Cheltenham stewards
 

Probably cos they were only justified to them? even cheltenham fans posted on here knocking what happened.

Re: Cheltenham stewards
 

Big Al posted on here a couple of days after the incident that if CTFC hadn't replied to anyone who had complained within 14 days, they could be reported to the football league, it's bad enough they've ignored most of us who wrote to them but to ignore the club as well???? - only goes to prove what we've known all along, they were in the wrong but won't admit any liability.

Re: Cheltenham stewards
 

yep, funny how they didn't ignore me though.:D

Re: Cheltenham stewards
 

Suggests everyone & Club take it further to FA, bet they are banking on u not doing so hence ignoring it.

Re: Cheltenham stewards
 

Mick S said at FANs meeting last night that he still has not had reply and he - along with some of the others there, Police, FL etc. - suggested that as many as possible write to C.T.F.C. with complaints.

Will get address and post on here.
