If the club gave them instructions to check tickets they were just doing their job. They are just people like the rest of us.Getting into 115 was worse than ever yesterday, crush at the top of the stairs because some stewards blocked it to try and check tickets. Resulted in a massive free for all and in the end them having to move out of the way and getting the rightful abuse thrown at them for it.
Used to get the 12.33 from Buxton to City right through the 70’s but that’s another story….Couldn‘t go yesterday couldn‘t get a ticket even though I spent two weeks clicking on the main website.I think two came up but went within 5 seconds.Second big match that has happened to me this season.Yesterday was embarrassing.
Tourists who had no idea where they were sitting.
And only interested in taking a picture with a half and half scarf.
Wankers
blocking aisles and exits when they could quite clearly see they had formed a crush of around 50 people isn't in their job description. A heavy handed few ruined it for the rest of them that actually used their brain for a second and had moved out of the way.If the club gave them instructions to check tickets they were just doing their job.

You call that decent?As a decent segway back to stewarding I do wonder if the increase in ticket prices is partly to offset the seemingly huge growth in the number of stewards we employ.
Looking round the ground yesterday I was fucking amazed at the number of hi vis jackets on display.
Why do we have so many. Back in the day there’d be a noticeable increase in their numbers for games where trouble was brewing, fair enough. Nowadays you’re more likely to see trouble in Costa Coffee and the average patron (sorry “supporter”) wouldn’t look out of place in Harrods so it’s not to combat trouble. We know this full well because when any trouble arises these clowns are fucking nowhere and it’s left to ordinary blues to sort it out for themselves
So why ARE there huge numbers of these annoying, useless, not fit for purpose busybodies infesting every part of the ground ?
I’m gonna report you to a modYou call that decent?

"Just doing their job" defence. When did we become so accepting of incompetence? Our head of security seems very heavy handed and excessively regnant, displayed by some unnecessary and unprovoked overreactions. Is he the ex police fella that stalks the pitch after the game as if he's on a presidential detail? Sometimes I think he's going to dig a foxhole. Over the top nonsense.blocking aisles and exits when they could quite clearly see they had formed a crush of around 50 people isn't in their job description.

The Club need to implement the points system next season for matchday tickets.Used to get the 12.33 from Buxton to City right through the 70’s but that’s another story….Couldn‘t go yesterday couldn‘t get a ticket even though I spent two weeks clicking on the main website.I think two came up but went within 5 seconds.Second big match that has happened to me this season.
Talking half and half scarfs. On my way to the ground I commented about the excessive number or supporters/people wearing them for yesterday's game. Most looked like they were off to an award ceremony after the game.The Club need to implement the points system next season for matchday tickets.
It is shit losing out to wanky tourists in half and half scarves. They won't be there if we are ever shit again, the club need to stop pandering to them.
It's like going to the cinema not a football match.Talking half and half scarfs. On my way to the ground I commented about the excessive number or supporters/people wearing them for yesterday's game. Most looked like they were off to an award ceremony after the game.
9 empty seats within 30 yards of me in ss3 yesterday mate.Used to get the 12.33 from Buxton to City right through the 70’s but that’s another story….Couldn‘t go yesterday couldn‘t get a ticket even though I spent two weeks clicking on the main website.I think two came up but went within 5 seconds.Second big match that has happened to me this season.
The biggest irony being that they would probably find it all so arousing..The club don’t want atmosphere as we know it, they want manufactured cheese and polite applause from middle class daytrippers. City think that groups of men passionately belting out songs with, God forbid , swear words in them is not conducive to attracting Henry and Henrietta types to the stadium.
Thats a lot of no shows on the day.Not a sniff on the ticket exchange even on the day.9 empty seats within 30 yards of me in ss3 yesterday mate.
always the same. there usually 3 on the row in front and 2 on my rowThats a lot of no shows on the day.Not a sniff on the ticket exchange even on the day.
I've never, ever seen as many people wearing half/half scarfs at a football match, as i saw yesterday. It was unbelievable....Talking half and half scarfs.

At least the half and half scarf hawkers are raking it in. 5 of them at the top of the Metrolink steps all shouting….”Get your half and half scarfs, player scarfs,”I've never, ever seen as many people wearing half/half scarfs at a football match, as i saw yesterday. It was unbelievable....
Before, during and especially afterwards, walking around the ground, every few yards there was people wearing them FFS...
Should of at least had the decency to tuck the red half away, out of site.
