Counter-productive move IMO. I'm also quite surprised - and disappointed - that the Quins stewards would go along with it. They should be looking after crowd safety and security, not getting involved in stuff like this.

Given that the players are very firmly behind Agar, I don't think having banners up during the game is helpful and will only cause division between the players and fans.
It's obviously not the majority of fans wish to go about it that way.

It was not the stewards looking onto the crowd as they were quite happy for it to go up (I asked) but the bloke who took it down was the head steward and explained it all to me and I was given a choice of allowing them to take it down and store it at reception or I would be removed. I presume the lads with the tshirts were asked to remove the offending shirts and refused hence the reason for their eviction.

The shear pompousnous of some people on here is outstanding

That's also my personal stance on banners at games, but I don't think it's a good thing for the club to be having those banners removed by stewards on anything other than safety/security grounds. I may not agree with people having banners but they have the right to do so provided they aren't causing bother.

I would hope banners/t-shirts/chants about Agar would not affect professional players. Yes it may cause a division between the crowd, but that division is already there regardless of the protests.

I'd like to know under which regulations those ejections would have been/were handled.

It's 'pomposity'.

And TBF Ian isn't normally that bad.

Think the only people who can comment on that are the ones ejected and the stewards who ejected them. I saw Hutchie talking to the 2 ejected after the game so he may have a better insight as to why.

you expect anything different?

I think we know why. I'd just be surprised if there were a regulation allowing the ejection of paying customers from a stadium on the grounds that one of the clubs playing there didn't like the cut of their jib.

It's the pro agar and fence sitting brigade who don't support the team

I think each club or stadium management team have the right to eject anyone if they see fit to do so. Not sure if the lads got a refund or not?
ATEOTD the lads have probably got more publicity from being ejected than they would have done if they had been left alone.

They should have just said that Agarout was our new south sea island signing

I wonder what they would do if 7 people wore shirts with "A" "G" etc would they ask them to remove them as well?

Given some of the spelling seen on here, you'd end up with AA GROUT or GOT AURA

The booing and chants were much more effective after the Wakey game I felt, much more than banners/t-shirts.

You owe me a pint for printing that banner

I for one applaud you mate, you have gone to support your team, more than i have yet at the same time made your feelings towards the coach known

still achieved nothing though Paul.

Agar wont be going anywhere anytime soon, as well we know.

I think it certainly made the board aware of the fans thoughts, over a few weeks I think that would have the desired effect. The thing is fans are not going to to do that unless we play as bad as we did against Wakey.

I honestly doubt I will ever see an FC side play that badly again, I certainly hope not.

I cant remember what they said

i think the club have a problem with banners generally as my dobbins 25 years without a trophy banner was forcibly removed by the stewards at the derby last season,stewards said they were following orders from HIGHER POWERS
