Re: Oxford thread
Stewards shouldn't "watch" the game, they should observe the crowd. Part of all Stadium Safety Certificates is for regular patrols of the gangways and walkways. Watch it at Wembley, it's a form of synchranised swimming!! And they do it in pairs!!

Re: Oxford thread
why would anyone want to get to a game 2 hours earlier than the kick of time and stand around in a hi-vis in the cold and rain if it wasn't to watch the game for free?

Re: Oxford thread
What a question!! But IF nobody was prepared to do it professional sport wouldn't exist. Sadly IF all pro sports games were policed the costs would kill us all:(

Re: Oxford thread
Do we pay many of the stewards?
I thought most where volunteers? What is the hourly rate? What attendance do we base our steward levels on? I thought you had to pay for the police if they considered a certain away teams following to be troublesome? |

an hour !!.. AND to join their force potential and existing Stewards must meet the following criteria, and I quote their website... " Bright, articulate, dependable and highly motivated Safety Stewarding and Customer Support Staff at the Emirates Stadium."... Perhaps it's a similar situation at t'Storefirst Stadium who can say ?? |
Re: Oxford thread
It's not the stewarding that's the problem,the lack of ballboys/girls is bad. The sight of the Oxford keeper having to fag the ball from the corner post on more than one occasion was embarrassing!:(
Why can't the youth team players do the job? It's all good experience! |

As for the stewards who you think are thick/doing a pointless task, why don't you volunteer? Or would you like to sit on a seat that some kid has put his feet on after he has stood in dog dirt etc etc. I would guess no! They are only doing a thankless job, respect them please instead of criticising them. |

I didn't realise the police cost was so expensive. Its also a bit unfair; police at our level will only be interest in teams with away fans with reputation. That's never likely to be our fans (maybe the Morecambe game because of the sheer numbers?). But it is likely to be the fans of a handful of other clubs and its not the other club who pays for the police but teams like Stanley. Seems unfair to me. |
