Unless I was completely pissed (every chance) one game Maine road, following the tannoy announcement, a slow flashing light was placed on top of the dugout. Anyone confirm?

There were issues with the fire alarm system in the new Kippax and the announcement was coded to alert the stewards to go to stand by but also that it was likely a false alarm

Yeah, I remember Mr Banks, as others have said, it was a general security announcement for the stewards, as was the spinning/flashing light (different colours to represent different types of emergencies).

I "worked" as a steward for less than one match (the 1st sky game against QPR) but sacked it off after about an hour.

Was told that my duty was to stand outside the main stand directing people to their entry points but then when the match kicked off I was supposed to keep standing around outside the main stand all match to make sure that nobody climbed over it (?) and got in for nowt!

"Errrrr, OK boss, I'll get on with that right away" - Went to my car, got changed and used my ticket to watch the match instead.

There were other coded names that represented other specific emergencies (Mr Burns for a fire ...etc) but it's so far back in time I can't remember them. Remember there was one for a bomb but can't remember the guys name.... Mr BIG-FUCK-OFF-BANG! or something like that :)
