New stewards please!

[Safeway]

You are just a pussy safeway, just as when you were bigging y'self up on your spunky keyboard before meeting me face to face.
"hello MATE, good to actually meet you in person"

You are back on the keyboard after all, you've found your shrunken bollocks have ya now?

Would that be the time I saw you alone in the pub and you claimed you were waiting for your friends before leaving shortly after, or one of the meet-ups where you arrived solo?

Either way that would have been before you LOST it. These days you're not worth a

At the moment, I'm getting wide awake at early a.m. and instead of laying there wanting to be tired or looking at her next to me who is sleeping - I get up and go on facebook (the sun never sets on my fb empire) and often check NSC, occasionally exchanging chat with someone else who can't sleep. Then I am usually sufficiently tired enough to fall asleep again until morning.

That I bother to respond at all regarding stewarding practices and what it might mean to Brighton and Hove Albion, is offering another viewpoint. People invite a pov and yet they then rain insult and epithet down when it doesn't suit their apparently rather singular side (it turns out) of the subject. I'm apparently only allowed to agree with their side, or else I'm "patronizing" or "power-maniac" or totally o.t.t. (for the point of their argument of course). It isn't just me they do it to either - do you see any other stewards encouraged in responding? Maybe they see this as a one-sided cacophony they would rather sidestep - there are several stewards who read NSC.

I don't say you have never been to a dodgy foreign affair - but you DO say that ALL have been wonderfully atmospheric without exception, only feeling UK matches to be otherwise! I find that a bit odd, but then Britain and England games have been notorious abroad. Are those stewards wielding batons and locking up England fans always fair?
Again, I find that a bit odd.

Power? Do it for WHAT power?? It's stewarding - I do it for the club, for the sport, and because I like what I do. On the day, my interactions are almost always satisfactory, enjoyable, and rewarding. I know from experience (and not every trained person can always know how they'll act), that when serious chips have been down - I reacted to put my knowledge and training into practice. I have several times to feel I did right - and those bad moments as they happened, have given me a personal feeling of pride afterwards.
I will not tell you about them as it would seem like 'cashing in', and even mentioning them now doesn't make me feel comfortable - and no doubt someone will belittle them (unless...they ever needed help themselves).

Power? I am pleased to help that very old feller who's been coming to the Albion since he was 10, to carefully negotiate the steps to his seat, and keep an eye on him during the match, and assist him back down the steps afterwards when everyone's bustling to go home, if necessary.
I'd much rather do that than tell someone to please stop using bad language near the family stand, or escort some teen punk snubbing his nose at our club and lighting a cigarette 5 minutes before fulltime because he knows his lot are losing anyway and "make me" is his attitude.
Power.

Now those scenes in those videos are what I am dealing with. A lot of people do HAVE personal responsibility, but many seem to think football is a place to lose it. There are various ways people do it, and most clash with each other's opinion of what's okay and what's not.
You tend to wish they'd just gone on the bumper cars and got it out of their system before coming to football - and in the case of many countries they get drunk before and during the match! Imagine all being in agreement then - it's just as well they have the same cause happening in front of them and cheer-leader guys balanced on the fences to tell them what to do next.

Give it up NMH - I'm all for defending the stewards but your posts implying stewards are the protectors of the realm and it's a good versus evil battle make you look somewhat ..... well ...... mental !

You aren't the only retard in the NSC's 'virtual village'

logging on at ten past one in the morning on a Fri night/Sat morn (local time) tells me that all this totty you've got over there is in your head. I know what I'd rather be doing if I still had my Swedish girlfriend and it was that time.

Skol!

Perhaps she was a little deflated...
