How strange they got in with them.

I know of one long term supporter who was refused entry yesterday with his bottle of orange cordial by one steward, something he has taken in most weeks for more years than he can remember. He went to another gate asked the steward there if it was ok to go in with it to which he replied yes. The gentleman entered the ground. The original steward spotted him in the ground with said bottle shortly after kick off and proceded to frog march him out of the ground despite it being ok'd by his colleague. The fan, a guy in his late fifties who attends with his wife, brother and sister in law is so disgusted at his treatment he will not be returning anytime soon and neither will any of his usual party.

Are we suggesting certain stewards are targeting certain fans at certain gates.

Who would believe that.

Well I never have a problem with the stewards but then again I don't take my own drink into the ground as I know it's not allowed. I go watch the club I support and if I need a drink I buy from the ground which is allowed and also benefits our club in the process. TRINITY FOREVER

Hear hear M62 J30.

I know we are all joined by our love of the club, but that comment is out of order I'm afraid. Knowing what I know about who I know I think there is some genuine injustice going on which is proving to be massively counter-productive for the club.

Shame, shame, shame!

Although it may not suit everyone, it would be far easier to say that no food or drink can be brought into the ground.
A simple rule that everyone will understand.
Whilst this would mean that people wanting to eat and drink inside would have to buy at inflated prices, this would be crystal clear.
I would exempt babies bottles, but at least folk would know where they stand.

I very rarely bring food and drink to games, however few weeks ago I did and the stewards tried to confiscate. I simply drank it outside. However yesterday I saw a few people not even approached by stewards from entering the club via the Con club gates. I don't know if the Stewards on the main Doncaster road gates have been mis-informed or not informed at all by the new statement from club but has anyone tried showing the actual clubs' site statement to them? Simply can be done by mobile phones...

Precisely. The club is losing genuine supporters over this and yet nothing seems to be done.

You might just find that it is not Belle Vue many are standing in then. I really don't think giving people another reason not to attend is the wisest move.

Spoke to someone in club shop yesterday as I had seen a steward on Doncaster Rd turnstiles taking a water bottle off a fan. There were several plastic bottles thrown on floor. Girl in shop could have passed message on but said I had to email club.
