Such a shame and it was something I brought up about a month ago - a club like ours simply can't afford to alienate good fans from what already is a tiny supporter base. I'm not saying it's deliberate but the clubs PR and presentation skills are very poor at present.

Take a break Al and then decide what you want. I'm a casual fan now who picks his games and you know what I'm a happier guy (yes really). There is more to life than Trinity, it has it's place but maybe not such a big place. One thing though, the club is always the club no matter who's running it (usually badly ha ha).

How hard is it Vasty to take abreak from it, is there less stress because i know with passion for the club it must be hard

He asked for an apology for been thrown out for bringing a plastic bottle into the ground. The club have refused to apologise stating the stewards were doing there jobs properly. He questioned the statement the club gave that said fans were allowed to bring plastic bottles in. Basically the stewards can do what they want. Although I see the stewarding was relaxed last night. So 3 weeks of treating a number of fans like rubbish and it seems the club has back tracked on its security policy. I'm pretty sure Al will return if he gets an apology from the club. But I'm not holding my breath regarding the club actually bothering.

I've never complained about the stewarding in the past but have witnesses two incidents recently, which show how petty and officious some of the stewards are. One involved a long standing supporter, who is, shall I say, vociferous - but all good humoured. he was approached by a number of stewards because he was deemed to be 'insulting'. Insulting who was not made clear but the stewards clearly wanted to make something of it. I firmly believe that if it was not for the intervention of other fans the situation would have escalated - as it was he received seemingly a friendly 'warning'
At last nights game a man was daring to lean on the wall at the pitchside, nobody within 3 feet of him and he was approached by a steward and made to move away.
Talk about petty - I suppose the stewards will say they were following orders . That may be the case but surely they have some discretion to apply common sense? Or is it that they have no common sense to apply?

You must stand at Chavs' corner

I was stood next to this and thought it was very heavy handed, but I stood down that way the week after and said supporter was having good banter and a joke about the incident with the same security blokes.

I think they were overzealous at the time but most of them seem to be reasonable enough, you'll always get your odd pillock on a strange power trip but there's always one.

I personally think the stewards need to get a grip inside the ground some of the disgraceful chanting that is allowed to take place needs sorting. The Wigan game for instance allowing Wigan fans to chant about Jimmy Saville was very tasteless, some of the songs by our own fans are very disrespectful. It's easy pickings stopping people on the way in but as I say stewarding need to improve in the ground especially with no segregation.
