I think there has been a lot of negative crap on here recently (and have virtually ignored NSC for months as a result) so apologies for being slightly hypocritical with this thread but I wanted to share this...
Basically a lad in the front row of WSU (North end) by us was told by a steward who had walked up form the 1901 section, to stop banging on the advertising plaques on the wall of WSU as he'd had a complaint from a 1901er below...
Now in my opinion this is utterly ridiculous as it's a football match and the odd bit of banging on them has been done by many in the front row of WSU - much like the stamping feet on the South Stand at Withers, but only in moments of Albion pressure ie corners etc. I personally cannot believe that someone has complained about noise at a game and also that the steward has had the cheek to follow it through and ask for the guy to stop...
A few points:
A) No damamge has been and ever will be done to the boards
B) I'm not saying this is a reflection on 1901ers as a whole as i know many are loyal fans who splashed the cash as we'd waited so long for this stadium
C) Would the steward have acted the same if the complaint wasn't from the 1901 section? My opinion is that they wouldn't...
D) Has Classism now infiltrated into the traditionally lower class football...?
Thoughts pls guys? Seemed very OTT to me and seems like some don't want noise at the AMEX...
