Free the steak pie 1

[Jesus H Gabz]

Brother in law got booted out just after half time yesterday, he’d gone back to his seat & it was pissing down, there was about 2-3 inches of water around our feet so we said let’s go back to the concourse & give it 5 minutes
Anyway, I was watching through the gap in the screen & he was stood watching the game eating a steak pie, in the grey box area that’s painted on the floor at every entrance, he must’ve been 2ft inside it & not blocking the entrance/exit in any way, neither was he drinking any alcohol.
Stewards started getting a bit tetchy with him & he said he just wanted to watch the game, wasn’t drinking or causing any safety issues, and to my knowledge wasn’t being lairy or anything, for reasons unknown he decided that was the hill, told the steward to get his boss as he couldn’t/wouldn't answer why he was asking him to move.
He told me the steward sneakily elbowed him, so he asked him to back up and said not to touch him, he was then surrounded by several stewards & asked to leave, he stood his ground & asked for a reason why (he wasn’t standing in the box at this time, he’d moved out of it) and they wouldn’t give him one.
Then the police got involved and the steward played the old ‘he’s been abusive to staff card’ after 10 minutes of back & forwards.
In the end he just gave up & walked, he’s told me he can’t be assed anymore & he’s chucking it in, I told him it was all a bit silly & he’ll be back next game, but he’s adamant he’s done, me…I would’ve just moved, no sense in getting chucked out of a big game for that

Stewards love a bit of beef.

The fuckers should practice what they preach, always in the way in SS3 and don't give any help to all the plastics or fans in the away section if it's full of City meaning people wandering around various rows of seats having no idea where to go.

Wankers.

You already know the answer to that.

Stewards getting silly in 015. They were trying to stop us going in for the minutes silence yesterday

He wasn’t mate, one before the game one at HT, it’s the easy out thought isn’t it. To be honest he was really placid, never kicked off, it’s not in his nature, which is why I laughed & said there’s no point, but he wasn’t having it, one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever seen anyone tossed out for :)

Did we have a minute’s silence? I heard the bugler but then everyone applauded and the game started.

Modern times I'm afraid. You raise your voice in any way and you're labeled as abusive.

Tbf. Not sure you can blame them for something that hasn't actually happened yet....

Doesn't that happen every time there's a minutes silence. If not, it should do - the number of times it's interrupted by someone coming up the stairs shouting to his mates not realising there's a silence on...

People just wanted to be there. We knew exactly what was going on

He didn’t, he said ‘let’s see…’.

 

[Gordyola]

Basically bullying picking on an easy target, their job is to help people, they allow smoking in the toilets because they are too scared to do anything about it

To be fair theres nothing worse than people shuffling in and trying to get to seats during a silence, its happened a few times and pisses people off. Its easier to just get to seats 10 minutes before kick off, I just skipped a beer Yesterday so I could pay my respects.

Free The Steak Pie — great potential band name to be fair.

If you’re standing on the greyed our / blue painted bit you’re going to be asked to move.,it’s like the okey cokey near me at half time, one leg in one leg out. Everyone craning to watch the match with a pint, shuffling across the greyed out / blue painted bit as the ball moves up and down the pitch. The key to not getting turfed out is to not stand in that bit. If you do and you’re repeatedly asked not to- you’ve only yourself to blame. It’s designed to stop us drinking / watching the match - bit of a pain in the arse but everyone knows the rules.
