I merely posted what everybody else was thinking.

Hmmmm.

Obviously didn't see it but . . . . .

. . . . why not do a quick mobile phone vid of such incidents and make it available to the club(s)/stewards (if you want them to address the issue) and/or police (if you felt, under current Public Order acts and want a successful prosecution, "suffered harassment, alarm [ior [/idistress"icon_wink.gif

. . . . . . . failing that, just stick it on Y'Tube under something like "[iThe intellect of mouth breathers[/i" .....

theres pond life in all sports mate but rugby League is catching up with some of the others....

The people referred to in the first post where stood just in front of me. One bloke in his early forties and maybe about half a doZen in late teens,

they arrived late and were already drunk, in fact the older bloke didn't come back for second half, to which one of the lads suggested to his mate that his dad had been arrested again.

Maybe it is just me but I just felt sorry for them that that is how they spend family time.

Be interested to see how that lot would fare out in Afghanistan. I'm sure some of the heroes in the green or maroon berets would be happy to give them the opportunity to go find a load of IEDs for them? To show how brave they really are?

I like her. She's pretty sexy. She's always in Cue Gardens with her family before home matches. They must get in there pretty early.

They need identifying to Stewards so they can kick them out and get them banned.

No, they don't. Why, if it is any part of a steward's job to kick such people out, would someone else need to "identify" them? What exactly is it that the stewards are actually being paid for?

How many such persons have the Bulls banned in (say) the last 10 years?

As I have said elsewhere, it seems clear to me that stewards (for whatever reason) have no brief to actively challenge and remove these types of people, or even to do anything to moderate their behaviour. I don't know why this is, but all they ever seem to do is stand there, and maybe occasionally tell people off for standing on a walkway.

I'm not having a go at Bulls stewards in particular btw - going around the grounds it seems clear that physical confrontation with scum, racists and idiots, let alone removing them by force, is the last thing on the mind of stewards at all clubs.

I went to the Crusaders game with family (and children) who don't usually go to games. We sat in the front of the main stand and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The only foul language that was particularly objectionable came from a lad of about 12 - who was sat with an adult who simply ignored his comments (much to the amusement of our kids and annoyance of the adults). While I can see the points being made about the stewards (and perhaps the club's) indifference to this - we all have a role to play if the bad language is in our group (I had an opinionated, voiciferous 18-year old son as part of our group - he's loud and can be objectionable but knows that there are limits to what is acceptable)
