Big Geordie Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Just seen this on another forum and thought it worth sharing on here - an utter disgrace. This is an exert from someone who was there; "n aging blue in 109 who refused to sit whilst those around him and the away fans stood. Showsec picked him out as their let's-make-an-example-for-the-day (they do this every week) and then called for the police. The bloke in question sat down before the police went to his seat, even with those around him still standing. They went and spoke to him, and, whilst he was sitting down, told them he hadn't done anything wrong. The GMP seized an opportunity, or at least they thought they did, when Balotelli scored to try and manhandle him out of the ground. I didn't see how the man ended up on the floor but he can clearly be heard in the video saying he takes tablets for a heart problem before they took him out and at no point did I see him forcibly resist. Their treatment of him was disgraceful and that's not all. When the GMP waded into the crowd people were getting elbowed out of the way or knocked over, myself and a kid no older than seven included! Completely out of order and an exemplar for any aspiring stewards or policemen and women in how not to defuse a situation. There's also reports of Showsec stewards lashing out at fans. I did not see these events however but the above description is my eye witness account and I would swear to it in court." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 fair play for the fans around him for not just sitting in silence letting them do it Absolutely. Good on them for video recording the incident as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I know two wrongs don't make a right etc etc. But does anyone else have the urge to smack that steward around (the one in the thumbnail and mid vid)? Looks like the stereotypical coward who makes his move at the safest time. He lost his temper like, should be sacked at the very least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattypnufc Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Still remember championship season and a steward punching a fan up in L7 for standing and refusing to sit down. He didnt swear, didnt speak out of turn, he just pointed out that no one else was sitting so he wouldn't sit. Steward punched him in the face. Wish I'd got it on video.

Colocho Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Most of them are thugs in uniform. You think people would be psychologically screened before being handed such powers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Curls Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Surprised the lad never had his phone taken off him or at least told to put it away, I got mine slapped out of me hand last time I tried to shame them, they are probably nervey incase they are in the wrong and there is video evidence.
