Did the stewards know something??

in General Charlton
Anyone else notice a huge line of stewards lining up at the Charlton end minutes before THAT goal?

Hardly any at the Sunderland end.

    They came out at around 75 minutes.
    Sunderland did seem to have a lot less though

    At the time I thought that was a bit strange! It's not as if the lower tier at the Sunderland end was completely empty

    One of the  stewards on the concourse asked me where Charlton was. He said he thought it in the country somewhere.

    Are you surprised? I found most of the stewards - both inside and outside the stadium - were foreign.

    I too wondered why we had the honour of the stewards..

    Obviously the ref had told them what the result was going to be in advance.



    Sorry I've been reading the Sunderland forum.

    they weren’t the brightest. One of them insisted on searching my sons tiny rucksack not noticing that he was holding a bottle through the whole process

    Quite. The police told the ref to let us score a last minute winner on safety grounds.

    I had to remove my sunglasses upon entering. Thought that was a bit OTT

    Really......did they give a reason, I suppose they must have some kind of recognition surveillance set up upon entry?
    I assume you were allowed to wear them once inside the stadium?

    It wasn't OTT.  They were Disney sunglasses.  He was told to remove them as he's a grown man.

    Amazing how they didn't find the two red smoke cannisters that were set off during the match.

    The second one after our first goal was dropped directly in front of me and after about five different stewards looked at it they got two firemen with a long pole to retrieve what was left of it.

    Then there was the post mortem. About 20 stewards of various ranks and different uniforms stared menacingly at any Charlton fans near the incident and six of them came to look at the spot on the concrete decking where the now removed smoke cannister had been dropped.

    The stewards actually came out at both ends, but to our end first, and then at the east end about five minutes later.  After the game, once the Mackems had mostly gone, the extra stewards all came up to our end.

    Our large following was boosted by loads of Millwall. The police were warned. Hence, the need for more stewards.

    That’s the way we saw it.

    That's because the match (and season) was scripted by netflix.

    The stewards were tipped off that soft terrorists had infiltrated the Charlton hoards.

    My favourite search of the day was at The Green Man, where the steward couldn't be arsed to stop smoking his cig or put his phone away so he used the back of his hand with the phone in to pat me on the arm twice and let me in

    I had a similar experience, he was very interested in my empty bag for life (waitrose) but didn't care about anything I had in my pockets.

    I'm foreign, but I know where Belenenses play...
