Stewarding today in Y26

[BenReadingFC]

Tango's were far to interested watching people in Y26 when they should've been watching the West Brom twats throwing the coins from the back of the away end. No stewarding in the away end beyond the concourse level. Also why have a line of stewards in the neutral zone and not in the away end between the away fans and the meshing.

The stewards say they're not interested with the away fans and it's the home fans they keep an eye on, I saw the coin throwing incident today though and not one of them did anything. They are useless IMO.

I was too busy watching (and enjoying) the actual game to be bothered with all of that

[Tilehurst Blue]

Only saw it because there seemed to be a lot of jumping and shouting going on so I looked over. Not one of these people that come to watch the fans shout at eachother rather than watch the game.

Maybe if you actually got hit by the coin you'd change your opinion (My dad got hit). I blame royalexile for sitting in his seat

[AthleticoSpizz]

If I gained any kind of financial benefit from a football match...it'd be a gift from god

sorry for your dad...but hope it was worthwhile and a £2 coin

Then report it and make an official statement. Nothing is achieved through whining on a message board. If enough people make a complaint the football club will listen and if need be review policy.

Cheers m8. I think the official policy was probably to wait for the twats identified to exit onto the concourse before dealing with the incident. Though we will never officially know.
Once again i loved the fact that the home supports reaction to the coins being thrown meant we were being recorded again.

Noticed at Half Time a number of fans had been ejected and were being filmed in the cage out the back of the East Stand.

Don't know what the appeal of sitting in Y26 actually is, loads of agg from the stewards who seem intent on creating a documentary of you each game and not the best of views either.

It's the only place where people stand for large sections of the game given the chance. Y25 do it a lot as well, but not as much, because more of them are season ticket holders and the sanctions are therefore greater. Also, it's harder to get into Y25 as it's more packed out with season ticket holders.

Because I like to stand and this is the only area of the ground with a significant number of people who share the same desire. Am I less likely to be hassled by stewards in other areas of the ground?

I would say so.

I honestly believe that if those in Y25/Y26 who go there purely because they wish to stand upped sticks and moved to the other end of the East Stand/North Stand, they would be left alone by the stewards.

The club are ultra paranoid about any trouble happening and Y25/Y26 is the single flashpoint they give their priority to, hence why so many people get turfed out.

No.

When the Biscuit Boys stuff happened in GU17 or wherever it was there was hassle about standing then too.

[brendywendy]

there bloody was too, darren cambell tried to take my season ticket off me.

[royal-biscuit-man]

Why is it cup games, this block gets the vocal, noisy, hostile atmosphere ball rolling. And normal championship games it isn't. Also, did anyonelse spot a man handing out petition forms against the stewards?

[tomrfcurz]

Yeh GU1 was a nightmare weren't it? Few over-zealous stewards at the club and doesn't do anyone any favours
