Do you f***ing blame him?
Some of the crap that's been spouted about him has been exactly that. CRAP.
Who are we talking about? Perry, Hebbard, Ernest, HB&B?

Well, bearing in mind there was a concerted campaign on here to have Hebbard sacked over some of the stewarding issues, along with a fair amount of personal abuse directed at him, is it ALL that surprising that he's turned round and given the finger to the Ask the Project Team forum ? Particularly as it was probably him answering most of the queries ?
Can't say I blame him.
Was there? Somehow I missed that.
Petition to BAN Richard Hebbard for 2 games - North Stand Chat
OK, it was a ban for Hebbard that was being called for (although some were then asking for it to be a "lifetime ban" from the club, on top of the abuse on the original mouth thread).
The point is, it got personal. I'm not going to bother with the whys and wherefores of what happened to Mouth. Wasn't involved, didn't see it, can't be arsed to add to the War & Peace thats already been written over it. But having met RH a couple of times he's come across as a decent bloke who is Albion through and through, so I can understand why he's give this place a very large swerve if people on here are targetting him for abuse, however 'just' their agenda is considered to be on behalf of someone.
He's not obliged to provide answers on here about the Amex (assuming it was indeed him). Was nice while it lasted though.
Why would a head of security answer detailed questions about the stadium? I would have thought it would be Martin Perry.

We are all entitled to our opinions..........and you, yours.
Did you listen to Hebberd on the Albion Roar the other week....?
It was a lengthy interview,alongside PC Beard. The contrast between the two was stark.
PC Beard came across as understanding football supporters views, whilst at the same time, clearly explaining the police position regarding safety and crowd control. A pleasure to listen to....and informative.
Hebberd, came across as an authoritarian, brusque, lacking in understanding and intransigent.
I understand from some postings on NSC, that he is some sort of salesman/arselicker to prospective purchasers of 1901 seats at Falmer. He is also .......?......head of security at the Withdean. Two very contrasting and differing positions. One position he seems to excel at...the other, not so.......IMHO.
Maybe he is just out of his depth? In a job which he can handle in lower leagues but his weaknesses are being found out as the club evolves? It happens in all walks of life where people end up promoted to their highest level of incompetence and then when the company takes the next step they are not able to adjust or evolve. Does he have too many roles in the club, perhaps - should they be looking at replacing him with someone who has the experience or the ability to take on the role at a higher level? If he is not able to take criticism without having a tantrum then perhaps it is actually better if he withdraws from a more public role to one where he will not embarass the club or himself and they find someone who is a little more able to cope.
Eh? So supporters complained. Assuming that's true (and that's a BIG assumption) the club decided that the best solution was to install a PLAIN CLOTHES steward?To be fair they put them in the crowd after complaints from supporters.
