Anything that fights the rules/system is good but I can't see the club listening to NSC, they seem to distance themselves with this chat forum at most opportunities.
Your support for the stewarding is quite impressive, Mr Stunt Arse.
However, the only 'escalation' of this was prompted by the complete lack of respect for a fan who has been a Withdean STH since the first season. I'd suggest treating your most loyal customers well does mean 'shit'.. otherwise you'll start to lose them.
If they did, I would imagine It would have been brought to my attention by this forum. Unless you can show where they show this evidence. One person has quoted the person banned (Mouth) was not innocent, he appears to work for the club, so why not state what it was based on.
But they have explained what it is based on, to Mouth. It's nothing to do with anyone else! If you got kicked out for something would you like it published to the general public? I mean that sort of stuff can affect people's jobs not just whether or not they can go to a game. I know I wouldn't want it published anywhere, innocent or otherwise. The only person that should be discussing this with the club is Mouth.
The club has contact details on the website, and the ground regs are printed in the programme I think, and we all know the rules anyway!
I know you're not an idiot so I'm guessing you're just looking for a rise?
If I was wrongly acussed and pushed around like Mouth the other Saturday, yes I would like people to discuss what happened and come to my defence if I had been wronged .
Next time I see Mouth I will ask him what he feels, what he did and will apologise if this is not what he wants or if he says he was warned 3 times for examle and still carried on being abusive.
I would like to think in some romantic way, this club has a link to us all, so believe it does afect us all, especially when I have to walk past the results on my way out of the ground.
That's what is happening here. Before you were saying why hadn't the club said what he was banned for. If they did that then it could be picked up by employers etc and cause more problems.
I still have'nt seen what he has been banned for from an oficial source. Perhaps a data protection issue is the reason why this is not announced.
When I walked past on Saturday 'Mouth' was quite clearly stating he had not done whatever he was accused of, if this was me I would want clear my name.
I would be suprised an employer would be able to use this as a reason to disipline you, unless it was a criminal conviction or you were in a specific ocupation.
Also to be convicted the club and accused would have to explain themselves in a court, and we would be a bit wiser on the clubs practices and reasons.
Do you know more about this case then, from what I have seen and read I believe a fan has been picked on for just being himself i.e loud. If you have any facts that may change my mind, let us know and I will humbly shut up about it.
I'm not looking for a rise - but you do sound rather angry?
I know no more than you do. The point I am making is why should you, I or anyone that isn't mouth see anything from an official club source? If that is made public it could affect things elsewhere. I agree it more than likely wouldn't but you never know. I would want to clear my name but I would do it myself. More than anything else though it has nothing to do with the rest of us.
Richard Hebberd is the 'Stadium Safety Officer'.
He isn't a steward, or similar, and is not the grey haired guy described earlier in this thread.
That isn't Richard Hebbard, and neither is NMH. I love that you lot are bitching and moaning about someone and you have no idea who they even are!
NMH IS a steward. Richard Hebbard does read and occasionally post here, but is not NMH.
If the stewards had cause to single this bloke out and it escalated then I assume they would have had to report it. Fans have been given short bans before for bad behaviour so if the report was for a similar offence why would this bloke get different treatment? It will come down to the stewards word against his. You lot and your ridiculous petition and posturing don't mean shit. The club have to be seen to back their stewards and always will, unless the chief steward, or Mr Hebbard, or someone senior within the club see the stewards doing the wrong thing.
More than anything else though it has nothing to do with the rest of us.
I strongly believe that until there is a change, nothing will change
Apologies. I am completely confused as to who he is as another poster on here confirmed him as the "cheif steward" bloke who I personally have had problems with in the future.
A time traveller in our midst. Burn him.
