The thread seems to have wandered off from FLAGS to Stewards and to Bradford "fans". To come back to the flags and the fine spectacle of the banners but also relating this to Stewards, those who went away to Shrewsbury will recall the excellent and sensible stewarding of Stanley support in the away end.

They duly marshalled us into our allocated area, stood sensibly by, keeping a watchful eye on us.

Then they watched in admiration and amazement at the quality of our support!!

Banners out, flag waving and singing hearts out for over ninety minutes SOLIDLY.

Mutual respect was exchanged between Stanley supporters and Shrewsbury stewards who remarked that we were the best supporters that they had ever seen and heard!!!

I have watched and supported Stanley for years now and since Conference days I and my daughter have joind the Ultras in the Clayton end. It is an experience not to miss out on and I simply cannot believe that the club can risk alienating these wonderful supporters who have been behind Stanley through good times and tough times.

The club must meet with all interested parties, as Lowie suggests, in order to sort this stewarding problem out. We all know that the stewarding priority for all supporters is our safety but the stewarding policies need to be sensible. Time for mick Schultz to get together with the supporters and police and stewards asap.
