I took my girlfriend to the game for the first time on sat as did not have tickets went up there fairly earlier as was walking in to the west stand entrance at the gates by the club shop to buy the tickets the steward for the car park asked her to put out her cigarette, not a problem went in got our tickets then started to make our way back to go to the shop. as we where walking past this steward he asked if he could ask a favour thinking he was going to explain about the cigarette and not being able to smoke now walked over, he then said to me could he have my girlfriend . I was pretty taken aback and you can imagine what my response was. my girlfriend did feel a bit uneasy. really not to sure weather to leave this but feel like reporting it to the club.
should I do this and possibly cost someone there job or am I taken it a bit to far and should just forget about it.
cheers

I would report the freak!
sounds like he was trying to have a laugh but gone wrong
not really an exceptable joke tho is it, what if our rose and crown was a total loonatic, and clumped him, not fair he should be put in that sort of situation by someone who is supposed to be a authoritive figure!
Was your girlfriend upset by the incident? In your shoes I might complain if the girlfriend was upset but if she wasn't bothered and it was just me feeling annoyed by it then I would probably let it go.
i dont realyy want to cost some one there job but did pee me off a bit and just think that he is not a right thing to say.
she did feel a bit uneasy and did not want to walk back past him to go to the ground, i can take that as a joke from a friend but a complete stranger out of the blue wound me up.
having not clumped him you should report him.
i (and most) wouldn't put up with it in a shop/bar etc, at the end of the day there is very little difference.
I'd report it. If it's the first time he's done something like that, and meant it as a joke then then he won't lose his job but clearly someone needs to tell him that that sort of comment isn't acceptable.
Can i have your girlfriend?
Where's Henry? ;-)
You dont want to be forever watching your back in case he is a nut nut.
have you got time for anymore?
Best mate, was you watching "Gangs of New York" with your american pal ?
We had some guy from the national statistics office knock on the door telling us the household has been selected to take part in some goverment survey bollocks.
When i buggered off as i couldnt be arsed with all that crap, he told my mrs that she had a lovely voice and should call him sometime - but not to tell me!
she told me all this after he had gone as she knows i would have clumped him!
that to me seems worst being that the bloke was at your door must of made you mrs feel a bit uneasy.
to be honest i thought maybe i was overeacting but seems a few of you understand where i am coming from.
Seriously, i'd report it. Not in a 'i think he should be sacked way' but to a 'bringing your attention way'.
You never know how vital it may be in the future if a similar but slightly more seious incident happens to someone elsewhere, and the club are unsure on who is telling the truth.
Yes, we could all whack him with our keyboards...
or laptops
R&C. You seem concerned enough to post this on the board. You shouldn't feel concerned about bringing this to the attention of the relevant people at CAFC.
Stewards, like the Police, should all have identifying numbers on the uniforms or jackets. Did you get his number? If so send that in too.
still not to sure think i may write a letter more to bring it to the attention of the club as he is after all representing our club, just glad it did not put my girlfriend off and she had a good day that apart.
made me smile as she started using the word we when talking about the game.
