Stewards - how much should they be TIPPED?

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

They shouldn't get tipped. Infact one of your lot threw me out yesterday with about ten minutes to go. I wasn't bothered as we we're playing awful anyway.

She had a run in with one of our drivers as well. He asked if there was anywhere he could have a quick fag, she said something along the lines of "If you want a fag, its that way" - pointing towards the exit and grimacing as if she's great because she's wearing the jacket and think she's hollier than thou.

I've seen a lot worse though. Your stewards were fairly sound apart from that one with, nevermind a chip, more like a potato on her shoulder.

What was the reason for you being thrown out?

The lady didnt say it exactly right, but she was right. All stadiums now are non smoking

I know that, but she was one of them who came across better than everyone else. You'll know the types.

Her reasons were because I had a sarcastic sense of humour- I think. I genuinely wasn't too bothered though, as I wasn't too fussed. We were losing, playing crap and I was drenched. God knows how you lot put up with that stadium every week.

Yeah sure - QPR are the worst for that sort.

That's a rubbish excuse!! I don't put up with it every week anymore - it's too depressing!

 

[Rigoglioso]

I don't blame you. I really don't know how you all cope with it.

tipping is not good idea, i work the withdean because i want to and support the albion, sometimes i might get to see about 20 mins of the game as i work in the south turnstiles area

Got one of those as well!

"Stewards with regular day jobs, how do they DO it??"

Not a clue, can't for the life of me work out the mind set of someone that wants to be a steward? My only thoughts are a) you are a pikey b) were bullied at school and enjoy the "power".

May I suggest trying out as a traffic warden!

I'll give them a tip........GET A REAL JOB!

I have a full time job as well. And why isn't stewarding a real job?

 

[Braders]

I think at 180 degrees to the ground from a height of no less than 40 feet.




Seriously though. The stewards at Withers are top people. Dunno why some fans choose to get their knickers in a twist about 'em.

exactly compared to the twats of stewards we have to put up with on the road such as Crewe & Norwich (who i'm SURE got their stewards straight after they finished working the concentration camps and didn't bother retraining them!) are stewards are ANGELS!

Why thank you it's nice to have some good feedback for a change

I think this comment says more about YOU than it does about stewarding.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Maybe they could work on a commission basis based on how many fans they needlessly throw out...

So you did and what a hoot that thread is

the stewards are a mixture of students and owners of buisnesses

Clearly very successful businesses at that!

 

[BensGrandad]

My brothers son in law is a steward at Twickenham and doesnt get paid it is voluntary but he can watch the game for most of the time, that is why he does it.

 

[csider]

Stewards should be tipped over a cliff.

 

[Gazwag]

Why should stewards get tipped, St John Ambulance members get nothing

 

[Mendoza]

there is one steward that is a complete idiot, and the lot in front of j block were having a great time, having a chat, drinking their tea, and pointing at people standing up

 

[Nemesis]

As a percentage of the ticket price, or a fixed service charge included?

Discuss.....

Definitely as a percentage of the ticket price because then all of the dirty, stinking, unwashed stoodents, the under 16s and pensioners won't have to dip into their pocket money too much.

Wolves stewards would be on a good wedge.

We onced tipped the stewards there with Dutch cheese.
