Anyone else see the letter from the elderly Charlton fan?
At Withdean last week he claims that ALL Charlton fans were subject to a rigorous search procedure by a rather intimidating bunch of stewards. This even included a 68 year old lady he says. I know that anybody could be carrying a weapon etc but surely our club representatives could use a little common sense........maybe not, we are talking about stewards here.
He goes on to mention how he came down for Fans United etc but now feels that our club, or its stewards, have let themselves down in his eyes for making law abiding visiting fans feel less than welcome.
Would our stewards have done this against Milwall or Leeds, will they do it again against Pompey? Is this just another example of why our stewarding arrangements need to be overhauled?
My own last visit to Withdean was tarnished by a numpty steward berating me for standing in the wrong place behind the East stand, and then demanded that I apologise! If it wasn't for my fear of being banned from the club I love I would of told him to f**k off. I do so hope this attitude changes at The Amex
