Perhaps they should comply with the law, then.

given the large number of people who were standing who were ignored by the stewards, and the fact that they had to wade in deep into the row to pick them out, I think it's most likely they the weren't thrown out for standing. Making gestures towards the away fans seems much more likely.

Wrong. I know the brother of one of them and he was thrown out for not sitting down quick enough, and given a warning. One of the other stewards disagreed with the way the steward handled it as well! The other lad was just for flatly refusing to sit when the other thousand or so around him were standing.

Once were Biscuitmenurz13 What if a tragedy occurs from persistent standing in seated areas, though?
As a politician you would never be blamed for maintaining a status quo which has overwhelming cross party support.
I guarantee the first time any reform is tried one of the Liverpool MPs will stand up, talk about children being crushed to death at Hillsborough, and whatever private members bill attempts this first will be toast.

SPARTA Exactly, and that's why so many fans turned on the stewards, and the steward didn't try and get the whole block to sit. They focused on the front group to the left of the entrance/exit. Picking on someone for not sitting quickly enough, yet those around him remained on their feet, and the several hundred behind them in the top half of the stand remained on their feet, he was just looking for trouble. His colleague didn't agree with how he handled the situation either. The club will never win the battle, so they should just ask the stewards to make themselves visible, ask you to sit, then go off again and try again later. Throwing one or two fans out a week whilst ignoring the rest will never work. If you're going to put your foot down, then do it properly or not at all. The club will only alienate fans and ultimately lose them!

Not what I was told by one of the supervisors Saturday - they were thrown out for laying hands on a steward on the concourse.

SPARTA The stewards didn't say boo to a goose yesterday. Same fans and same amount standing, and same steward, but a completely different approach. Much better when some common sense is thrown in. Thank you RFC.

Weren't they all told to sit at the front of Y25 again?
I don't recall as much of a presence by them. The game against Blackburn they seemed to me trying to make a point
