MOUTH - The latest

[Westdene Seagull]

I wouldn't usually bounce an old thread and especially such a binfest one but ....


.... I've just read the Stewarding report of the incident. It would appear there was a plain clothes steward sitting very close by ! Maybe the mouth wasn't as innocent as people are claiming.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

I should think he swore. Half the South Stand do that.

and what did it say then?

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

And if they had a "plain-clothes" (which in itself is laughable) steward - why did they need that good at the front doing all the staring.

Idiots.

 

[auschr]

are we the first football club with a gestapo?

 

[Westdene Seagull]

and what did it say then?

If the report is to believed then he was heard to swear quite a lot in the stand by the plain clothed steward. He then continued to be abusive and threaterning on the track and on the way out. Witnessed by a number of named stewards.

So this plain clothes steward was occupying a seat in a prime position that could have been used by a paying supporter?

 

[Spun Cuppa]

So now the people who sit in their usual seats will be a bit anxious if an unknown fan sits near them during games

Nice one BHA

Very similar thing in the old East Germany, it was called The Stasi.

Shall we call ours The Khazi

 

[skipper734]

At least a Khazi is useful.

 

[portlock seagull]

This just gets better and better! I've always called them the withdean Stasi and now that's all the justification required. What a bunch of cocks. Sack the lot the moment were out of that shit hole.

I find it almost unbelievable, that Richard Hebberd would 'commision' a plain clothes steward to monitor a supporter who is vociferous.

Please, for Gods sake Albion, sack this Stasi inbred twat.

Now he's got the hump and the Ask The Falmer Project Team board has been shut.

Speaking from experience as a former steward (thank god it was just a Uni job), people can get a bit 'abusive' if they feel they have been treated badly. When I say abusive, there is a different definition from a steward.

Although I wasn't present at this situation, my experience of stewards is that a LARGE proportion do not carry any common sense and inflame a situation.

The 'Mouth' doesn't seem like a bad chap. It seems that this is the first time he has been banned in all this time at Withdean. Three of my best friends were stewards and we found the best way to operate is to be gentle, friendly, smile, listen to their grievances and reason with the fellow. Not form some sort of hit squad and heavily outnumber the chap.

The career stewards were the worst (in general) or those that doubled up as doormen. As soon as Doc Martins, BHS trousers, clip on tie and a number yellow jacket were donned, they seemed to see themselves as being a mighty powerful figurehead.

I've seen it before at various football grounds and we will continue to see it whilst they employ people lacking common sense and courtesy.

Is it possible the "plain clothes steward" was an off duty steward who reported what he experienced after the fact, rather than a pre-planned undercover spy?

I don't think so. A plain clothes steward is different from an off duty steward.

So was it just the 'plain clothes steward' that objected to his 'foul behaviour' or were there objections from paying spectators?

Do you f***ing blame him?

Some of the crap that's been spouted about him has been exactly that. CRAP.

That really is pathetic. IF that is his childish reaction to some criticism then I would suggest he is temperamentally unsuited to his job.

To be fair they put them in the crowd after complaints from supporters.
