Worst Stewards were QPR, absolutely no clue. Best I would say are Bristol City although a lot of them come from Cardiff.
As far as Policing goes I would say that most forces are fine. You be polite and friendly to them and you'll get respect back. I've had more than a few friendly conversations all over with Policemen and Women all over the place and the only really obnoxious ones I've met recently were the muppets at Smellworst Park. Made my already low opinion of the Met even lower. Mind you from several conversations it appears that many regional Police forces don't have much time for the Met anyway.
We moan about the Police here but try living in some of the less salubrious areas of the self proclaimed World's Greatest Democracy and then you'll realise the vast majority of our Police are bloody good value.

I was making the point that some people on here will give others a hard time for their behaviour at football matches but when its 'one of their own' the seem to defend them.
People that know me would certainley tell you I get a bit 'excited'
at the football and I can hardly be accused of lacking passion about my football

Brentford possibly
Notts Forest?
Sheff Utd were a pain.
Saw Town at Bournemouth a few years ago and the Bournemouth stewards were a pain

In my experiance its the police who cause most the problems. I remember going to a Chelsea game and they shut the gate to the tube platform but not the station, hence a crush and a fight erupted. Then theres incidents at the old goldstone I remember were they lock about 100 southend fans in one week and then let out over a 1,000 millwall at the end the following week, result riot.
I think you'll find stewards vary from Ground to Ground depending on recruitment and training. This seems to be the case for coppers as well and I wouldn't put the brighton police anywhere near the top.

To be fair there, we were both in danger of being relegated that day so tensions would have been a lot higher than normal, hence the higher police presence.
And to answer you question about pay. My ex is a cop. If they want they can either take it at 1.5x pay or just take the hours in leau, which most tend to do.

I remember the Kill, Kill, Kill the bill chants in the North Stand and the police getting a few slaps, but they always seemed to come off the better due to the fact the cowards always used their truncheons!

Did you breathalyse him so know this to be true?
Quite a few commenting on these incidents from people not at the game!
People having beer before football tut tut tut, bad behaviour!
Anyway see all you loyal fans at Shrewsbury tomorrow night (after visiting a few pubs i'm afraid). Sorry, what do you mean your not going? Still can some of you post indepth match reports even though you will not be at Gay Meadow, perhaps you could do the match report by Chinese whispers as it will be about as accurate as some of the postings on this thread!

It's not particularly difficult to get out of the temporary ban Mr P seems to hand to anyone and everyone who gets kicked out.
You won't get arrested, so just say a false name. Then they give you a nice little sheet on with your 'name' and the reasons why you have been kicked out etc. Very friendly.

Forest lasy year - mid-week, was a f***ing farce.
i got escorted to the dor and then "spoken" to, just for sticking my finger up at some chav yelling abuse at us from above.
But give him his due, once away from the crowd, the steward was pretty ok, being as he let me back in.

Standing up is a breach of ground regulations not a criminal act whatever some twat steward might think.
The two gentlemen my posts referred to left the ground with no fuss when asked to. Other than taking their details the police took no further action (again, because no criminal act had taken place) and,in fact, told my mates that they felt the stewarding was over the top.
In my experience individual coppers (Met & Northampton excepted) are often ok. The problem lies with football being one of the few "industries" in which the views of "consumers" seem to be of no relevance.

You get booted out big deal,its not the end of the world
Im sure these offenders where just to drunk or standing up for their rights,fans get booted out non stop its routine and won't change.
To call these people idiots is ridiculous considering they have forked out a bomb to watch their football team
