Gee thanks, so those of us who can't stand up for very long and had the stewards standing in front of us have to stand up just because you think it makes for a better atmosphere!! Well it didn't do much on Saturday as so many people couldn't actually see the game for the last 25 minutes and a lot of the fans were asking them to sit down!!
I'm on the front row, we usually have one steward to the right of us and a couple plus a 'supervisor' to the left near the away dug out at the other end of the row. On Saturday we had those 4 plus 9 more, there was barely a gap between them so we couldn't see as they were all told to stand. We pay our money for a SEAT and I for one deliberately have a seat on the front row so that I can see and anyone behind me can stand if they want. You know that thing called courtesy or manners? Or even thinking about others.
We were told it was because there had been rumours about a pitch invasion!! Wonder where they got that from eh? However how they thought we could invade the pitch when there were boxes and bags and wires and all the paraphernalia for the broadcasters taking up the space in front of us I will never know. But hey ho as long as you were all right Psychedelic Casual that's fine. :-)
Edit: one of the new stewards came to me at the end and shook my hand and said will you be all right getting home, be very careful. I told him the Eccles crew would watch out for me and he said well make sure you stay with City fans on your way back to the coach. (Or words to that effect) We have always had great stewards in CBL.
