as it says on the tin. fire away with your gripes etc. Should be an interesting thread!
I get the impression, people confuse safety stewerds (which is what we are ) with stadium security like down the city ground or millenium stadium. We have no powers, and any altercations are directed to the Head of Security.
Paul S makes an annoucement not to walk around the rink when the game is on, yet people do it and more so, people who should know better do it. Can we stop them? Answer - nope! Can we stop them going up the stairs? Answer - yes (to a degree). Again we get people who you would expect not to try and go up the stairs KNOWING the game is on, yet get annoyed when we stop them. There is always the newbies who dont know and rightly so, try and gain access.
Camera flashes - Again, Paul S makes the no flash announcement yet it still happens. Are we to challenge the offenders? Sorry, thats security's job imo.
Match night stewerds do not get paid and are purely volunteers. Only 3 stewerds get £10 for standing outside in the carpark and directing traffic. Some of the stewerds are SEASON TICKET HOLDERS and some are DCF DEVILS, so to them there are no advantages of stewerding. In fact its more of a disadvantage as stewerds are no longer allowed to wear Devils shirts at games and show their support..
Carry on with the griping and for all to know..its me Jed. I wont be hiding behind any forum names or high-viz jackets
