got to be honest i never really noticed them at N.P,but at CCS there seems to be thousands around the ground,every staircase into the grange end has 2 at the top,they told a couple of lads in the back row of the grange end to sit down yesterday,thou i have had no issues with them it does seem that its only a matter of time before something happens :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Maybe they're cheaper than police?

The stewards are really getting out of control. I saw yesterday one middle age fan at the very final row of the family stand stand up and applaud Gyepes late goal and was still clapping the goal when everyone had sat down. A steward told him to sit down and he replied "why who am I hurting, its not as if im blocking someones view as I am in the back row and I am only clapping and not even chanting". The steward could not answer his reply but kept yelling for him to sit down. All the crowd near me thought the steward was out of order and we all told her so about 50 of us, it was only then did the she relent and leave him alone.The whole situation was ridiculous and needs to be sorted.

I've not had any problems with the stewards, always find them helpful. Perhaps you lot should take a look at yourselves, I appreciate that you will get one or two annoying stewards as you would in any stadium but on the whole they're a good bunch.
Whoever referred to them as "nonces" is out of order, they're given a job to do and they do it. I find the catering staff a tedious bunch who insist on given change in coins instead of notes, THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED!!!

A lot more stewards than usual in Block 117 yesterday, not sure why.

More fans = More stewards

They're trying to clampdown on fans even more than usual now. The one steward with any manners told me this. He said the club want to get 117 'pacified' in time for the Premiership, and warned me that I'll regret missing out on seeing us in the Prem next year if I got banned.

Only got told to sit down once, they didn't bother after that. No doubt letters will be sent in the post again.

I've got about 5 of them ready to pounce on me as soon as I stand up. Even in the second half when everyone down the front was standing, the supervisor was gesticulating to me.

My dog will probably eat my letter :ayatollah:
