very good with away Fans let u standall game... they are more interested in inforcing the Southend fans to sit down in the singing areas... hence the crap atmosphere at the Hall
Is there beer in the away end?!
abit like Withdean then...
correct
F League rules states Home Stewards are only responsible for the home fans and must make sure we sit down while the game is in play ..
I guess part of the reason they don't mind the away fans standing up is that the stand is so old and the seats so badly chucked in that most people would struggle to fit their legs in and see the match. A shame Brighton stewards aren't as sensible as the Southend ones. And the lady in the doorway to the family room was amazing!
You have just underlined how Brighton stewards ARE sensible - in understanding general AWAY fan's ire with the AWAY stand - apparently something like Southend's stewards. However, although we still encourage away supporters to sit down, and require that they endeavor to comply - we cannot change the fact that the view sucks so badly that they are inevitably going to stand, strain to see the action, and complain about the poor view.
The HOME fans though, can't seem to grasp that FACT, and will insist "you let them stand, and (although the South Stand view is mostly excellent or at least adequate) we should be allowed to stand like them".
No, of course "Brighton stewards are not sensible"
Not to mention AGAIN that Withdean is a sensitive location where we do need fan compliance in order to stay on the right side of safety and other league rules.
I thought someone might not let me get away with a generalised and unfounded comment about our stewards. You're probably right, although I seem to think that they tell away fans to sit down as well - maybe I'm just imagining this to prove my geneal rule that stewards suck!
yes that was when we stormed over into their section during the game and someone tried to push a wheelie been into the seating area if i remembergood good will be a good night then i fill. last time i went to southend was about eight years ago i think, had a massive fence in front of us and was kicking of everywere.
Brighton stewards are tossers for home fans.They lack common sense.
