Completely OTT stewarding outside family stand

[hans kraay fan club]

errr ..... yes there is - numerous ones that cover how many stewards are required for what type if situation. Not to mention the rules attached to the safety certificate and by the council.

I'm really not sure what your beef is - so there were a few extra stewards - at £7 per hour it's hardly going to break the bank !!!

And to take you up on another statement you made - the club DO NOT know how many people are going to turn up despite it being all ticket. Tickets are on sale past the time that a good percentage of stewards have to report for duty. I'm sure you'd love to turn up to work and be told to go home without pay !!!!

You just seem very angry considering you don't seem to have been put out at all. So your complaint is that you went to a football match, managed to see the whole thing AND six goals to boot but your day out was spoilt because there were a few too many orange jackets ? Hmmm ..... I know who I think looks like a complete plum and it isnt the club or NMH and his mates

13 stewards x 5 hours x £7 is £455.00. Puts the stewarding cost of the family stand Saturday at about £4 per spectator. Wasted money.

The stewarding was completely over the top, whatever way you look at it. the measures were ill thought out to the point of being a waste of time anyway.

Its usual for the one guy at the turnstiles to check your bag, so seeing the first yellow bouncer approach me, I held my bag open. "Not your bag mate, I need to see your tickets are for the family stand". So I show him, then yellow bouncer 2, stood shoulder to shoulder with him, watches me zip the bag back up, then says "Can I check your bag please sir?"

And not just my bag either. Full arms-out airport stylee frisk too. Didn't frisk the KIDS though - I'll get them to carry the knives and flares next time!

Apparently that's not allowed tho, according to our mate Steward 433!

Steward433 From Ponchogate;
NO we are not given hot drinks infact we are not allowed to drink hot drinks whilst customers are in the ground and as for doing nothing just proves your ignorance

So he did fob me off with a lie back then as i suspected...

 

[steward 433]

Er NO

Er no i didn't lie to you. When i have asked my supervisor in the past if we could have a hot drink we have been told no.

IF any of you had been that observant you would have noticed it was the blue jackets NOT the orange that were drinking hot drinks!!

I thought it was a compete no-no for all stewards to be drinking hot drinks during a game as you mentioned in that thread at the time, yep i did notice that only a small number where drinking them yourself not included.

Its doesn't look good from the stands with a load of stewards just standing around drinking hot drinks when the club aren't exactly flush with money tho.

So is it just the blue stewards allowed hot drinks these days now?

As far as i know we are not allowed hot drinks in view of the customers

They would have had to have paid for them themselves

So is it just the blue stewards allowed hot drinks these days now?

Like i said i don't know as they are under a different supervisor

"When i have asked my supervisor in the past if we could have a hot drink we have been told no".

You obviously missed a trick?

Why didnt you pass your empty cup to the nearby fans?

I'm sure they would have been more than pleased to have passed it around amongst themselves.
All then contributing to present you with a warm frothing hot drink?

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Jeez! All this righteous indignation over the stewards having a hot drink during a good-natured game in a three-quarters empty stadium. Is that REALLY all there is to bitch about this week?

Yeah, the smilies are back.

Did you see me drinking tea Brett

no, because you were watching the game and didnt have time to drink with 6 goals going in

I cant remember what coloured jackets they were wearing, but they were all drinking hot drinks, just milling about doing not a lot. I dont have too much of a problem with it, as it stopped them coming into the stand telling everyone to sit down on a wet seat.

It just doesnt look to good, that a club not so well of pays for stewarding and they spend 20 minutes on a tea break during a game

So your first post that ALL the stewards were drinking hot drinks, Was infact wildly inacurate.

Oh and btw i only saw one goal when i was coming back form my break.

P.s. we have to have breaks if we work more than 4 hours.
