Quote ="Yob"The Stewarding bill went up because the Stadium use the same Stewards for the Rugby as they do for the Footy and they all had to be trained up in this new qualification (like bar doormen) to do the job.
We had no choice in the matter of paying their higher wage bill despite it not being a requirement for the Rugby but only being required for Footy. Regardless, they are still obviously very poor in this situation.
Has anybody EVER seen any of our Stewards do anything to justify their existence?
The mention that the perpetrator was chucked out is the time I've heard of them doing anything!'"
I have once, a few years ago mind. A certain brother from a local town, lets call it Richdale and him Jed
, kicked off against a group of Keighley fans as one of them had said something less than pleasant to Jeds mum, about 5 stewards swiftly appeared led by the Asian chap who is still doing it now. They defused the situation and then stood between the warring parties until Jed was convinced to sit elsewhere in the stadium.
I would imagine the stewards are currently too scared to move into the stands what with there being so few of them, and what with the local yoof all being tooled up. I wonder if the Skircoat Casuals are infiltrating our crowd in an attempt to get a bigger chance of a 'tear up' what with us having better support.
