I remember on the open terrace at Pompey about ten years ago, they employed a team of oversized bouncers, who threw out people on a two minute interval basis.
I think Liverpool away last season when someone got thrown out for celebrating too much when Matty Holland scored. The best one was the sleeping steward at Blackpool.
The bloke sitting at the bottom of Block D in the East Stand on Friday must surely be the worst by far! After West Brom scored the a bloke at the end of the row stood up and start cheering, I got up and told the bloke in the nicest possible way of course to sit down and keep his thoughts to himself. I then asked the steward sitting no more than 2 rows in front of him what he was going to do about the West Brom supporter sitting in the home stand, he just looked at me and shrugged his shoulders!!! I actually had to go to the top of the stand and get one of the head stewards to come down and throw the bloke out! You pay peanuts you get monkesy I suppose!
[cite]Posted By: Curb_It[/cite]man utd are pretty crap, chucking out our fans in fancy dress out a couple of seasons back.
They were tossers. When I told the same steward he should've done something about the three behind me who were all wearing ManU shirts he repleied with 'take it up with your club, they sold em the tickets'. Wnakers.
Sheffield Utd have been total tit heads in the past.One year we had to pay on the gate,£14 i think it was and the stewards were saying correct money only and when my mate went to give them a £20 note he was told they didn't have any change. He said something along the lines of "How can you not have any change for a £20 when everybodys been paying the correct money".He got dragged out of the line and told to "Shut the f**k up,you cockney tosser"!!
[quote][cite]Posted By: foulerr[/cite]Sheffield United - one year in particular they threw out dozens including some of the quietist fans I know[/quote]
AFKA your right about pompy been thrown out of their more times than any other ground. think there must have been 200 of us thrown out that game you mentioned
Worst OB was Peterborough back in the 70's...as I picked myself up after being chased by the boro fans and going through a shoe shop window, a copper told me it was all my fault....for coming up here! Found out later that Charlton fans had run riot through the town about an hour befor I arrived. Ive been slung out of the Valley three times ironically, but never at an away game. Most tolerant OB were at Cambridge...how my mate John didnt get nicked I'll never know. Stewards....Liverpool....nicest in ages Blackpool.
I remember going to Upton Park on Boxing Day for the 5-0 drubbing & sitting next to the line of stewards separating us from the West Ham fans - I suddenly thought that steward there looks mighty familiar!!
It was B the infamous streaker from the Villa game a couple of seasons before - he noticed us looking at him, winked & put his finger to his lips.....to say shhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Does he still go to Charlton? And whatever happened to Fat Robbie Fowler for that matter?
