It was not the stewards looking onto the crowd as they were quite happy for it to go up (I asked) but the bloke who took it down was the head steward and explained it all to me and I was given a choice of allowing them to take it down and store it at reception or I would be removed. I presume the lads with the tshirts were asked to remove the offending shirts and refused hence the reason for their eviction.

The shear pompousnous of some people on here is outstanding

That's also my personal stance on banners at games, but I don't think it's a good thing for the club to be having those banners removed by stewards on anything other than safety/security grounds. I may not agree with people having banners but they have the right to do so provided they aren't causing bother.

I would hope banners/t-shirts/chants about Agar would not affect professional players. Yes it may cause a division between the crowd, but that division is already there regardless of the protests.

I'd like to know under which regulations those ejections would have been/were handled.

It's 'pomposity'.

And TBF Ian isn't normally that bad.

Think the only people who can comment on that are the ones ejected and the stewards who ejected them. I saw Hutchie talking to the 2 ejected after the game so he may have a better insight as to why.

you expect anything different?

I think we know why. I'd just be surprised if there were a regulation allowing the ejection of paying customers from a stadium on the grounds that one of the clubs playing there didn't like the cut of their jib.

It's the pro agar and fence sitting brigade who don't support the team

I think each club or stadium management team have the right to eject anyone if they see fit to do so. Not sure if the lads got a refund or not?
ATEOTD the lads have probably got more publicity from being ejected than they would have done if they had been left alone.

They should have just said that Agarout was our new south sea island signing
