Quote ="reffy" Digressing slightly to 'a full North Stand', I think the stewards need to become crowd controllers rather that crowd watchers. At the Huddersfield game there was plenty room in the left end of the stand which suggests that there was too many in the right end. We were situated over Entrance N2 and the stewards were directing late comers to go right, they ignored them and the stewards just shrugged their shoulders.'"
Agreed. I didn't recognise a single steward in the NS this weekend, which is never a good sign.
Worst of all, I know it seems over zealous to some with (those stewards that bother) walking up & down the stairs to keep people off the yellow lines (the actual stairs) but with many people there more focussed on drinking and not ever going to heed a simple, polite request the stewards gave up and just looked on and with so many there, especially small children and such a hot day, its lucky something serious didn't happen.
The LSV should make a point of trying to get the same stewards for the same sections each time, builds up a rapport.
Not, I feel the need to stress, that I think trouble is ever much of a problem regardless of who is there and how much they've had to drink. It just helps keep a lid on anything possibly happening.
