Sorry but "a few minutes" to a few seconds its a disgrace. They should be there to sort. Although these security firms do go for the "easy" option in who they employ

| In actual fact there were four security guys stood around the small group ( guess about 100?) of widnes supporters well before any trouble started.
But if a few idiots are determined to have a go at each other it is very difficult to stop as things escalate very quickly

| Quote rover49="rover49"Wakey stewards don't help, when we went for the first game of the season me, my wife and two young grandkids were stood near some Rovers fans in fancy dress and they were loud, but funny and causing no harm at all when a gang of neanderthals in the guise of stewards came steaming over and got very aggressive with them, for no reason other than they were enjoying a laugh during the game. When one of them asked what the problem was he was ejected.
Totally uncalled for and potentially inflammatory.'"
Had problems in the past with aggressive stewards at HKR when away fans were in the golf stand.
However, hope all involved get a ban from all RL stadiums. Don't want these people in any stadium causing problems.

| Quote JB Down Under="JB Down Under"Stewards are not security or police. Most of them are young kids, old men or women. We always say stewards should do something but they are Ill equipped to step in to a brawl. Clubs should have to have a hit squad of bouncers who can stand in an area where trouble may happen and keep the peace.'"
Good suggestion as long as Security Industry Association qualified its been done at some football clubs to good effect although it will cost as you'll need at least a dozen plus the stewards.

At Leeds there is a separate squad who's job is to intervene when there's violence. They usually wear green jackets as opposed to the stewards orange. The stewards are just there to help people find their seat/a space and stop the gangways getting crowded.
I think the separate squad are directly employed by Leeds whereas the other stewards are contracted out to G4S.

There is a similiar situation at Warrington. Stewards (employed by Warrington) wear yellow, "security" (contractor) wear orange. Go on the Warrington board after any trouble and you will often see comments about "aggressive stewards" when in fact its the security firm involved.....and then its often because they had to get involved.

How wonderful that, in the majority, we can behave so that we don't need a visible police presence.

Agreed, but having a heavier police presence costs a lot more than having stewards.

I do !
And I can also remember a real 'set to' under the stands at Elland Road for a CC semi final in the early 1980s when Wigan went onto win the game.
IIRC it was Wigan v York.

Suggesting Suarez moves on from Liverpool to play for a bigger club isn't trolling, it's telling the truth (especially as I'm neutral in club football).
What on earth that has to do with RL ill never know
