Checking STs in one part of East Stand only

[Harpers So Solid Crew]

Anyone contacted the club about this, probably not.

[Ian Royal]

It's not exactly a major hardship. And I don't see how anyone can think it's costing extra. It's just the same stewards who'd be there anyway doing something annoying rather than just standing and watching.

I think it's great, it keeps the riffraff out of Y25

If you went you would see there are more Stewards !
Imagine somebody asking which chair you are sitting in to listen to Radio Berks every match............

[AthleticoSpizz]

Are they looking for someone in particular?

They did it for a bit last season too.

On Saturday, they let a young boy through and then had beef with his dad because he had a member card and couldn't prove where he sat or something....

maybe...just maybe... they were trying to help the newbies find their newly bought seats?

Are you brain damaged?

Nah, they wouldn't stop everyone then. And they show no one to their seat.

I haven't contacted the club about it because it isn't THAT big a deal, however, I was interested to know why they were doing it at all and so I asked the question on here, on the offchance that someone on here might have known.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Didn't seem to be a problem on Saturday.

You should have just pm'd SPARTA.

[Harpers So Solid Crew]

And no one here actually knew, same as last time

More stewards? I was thinking there were less this year. They certainly seem to have cut back on the Agency staff maybe in anticipation of smaller crowds.

And if they are checking STs in Y24 they will have a good reason for doing so, despite all our idle speculation.

Gave my sausage and chips to the steward at half time when asked and checked for the third time ie season ticket gggrrr!

[wingnut]

Why would you give your sausage and chips to the steward when he wants to see your season ticket? Was it some sort of bribe or a weird Jedi mind-trick
"You don't need to see my season ticket - here have a chip instead"

[Ian Royal]

Didn't seem to be enforcing it at Fulham, then back to it again against millwall.
Probably be there for wolves, but I reckon itll stop after that.

These aren't the chips your looking for.

[rob the royal]

Stewards seem to be getting really arsey this season. Was walking up to the gate, wallet out, just fishing out the ST and the stewards goes "Have you got a ticket?" No love i'm just gonna stick my Nectar card in and see if I get lucky.

To be fair it wasn't so much being asked but the way she asked. I don't know how anyone could make such a seemingly inoffensive question sound so downright aggressive.

Don't feed the stewards else you'll never get rid of them.

Next time, wave a golden gamble ticket and say "Yes, I bought one from your colleague outside".

[GH Royal]

This is a real pain in all fairness when you've bought food and then have to juggle it around to get your ticket back out of your pocket/wallet. But over the past two games I have had a group of 2/3 16-18 year old lads try and squeeze into our row in Y25, usually where theres not enough seats for them aswell.. Needless to say one of them usually skulks off back down the stairs when they realise we wont move along for them to fit in, just a bit annoying to be honest, didnt happen once over the last couple of seasons IIRC.

So I guess I can see why they're doing it.. Not that it's working
