Last night's match - From a Burton fan

My concern is that the stewards are paid by the club (and presumably are not a neo-military occupation force) and represent the club. Is their jobsworth attitude to paying customers one that the club endorses?
What is needed are the type of stewards who appreciate that "the rules" can be applied with a bit of common sense and understand that there's a subtle difference in the potential risk from 50 Burton fans in the chicken shed compared with 500 West Ham Fans behind the Darwen end (assuming the Darwen end holds that many, and WHU still have any fans).

Exactly

Whilst i agree wi yer post exile, think the stanleys own stewards (in the main) are ok, seems to me to be the imported ones who are mainly knobs.

I too agree, Cashers. But maybe the head honcho of the Stanley gang needs to have a quiet word with the imported crew beforehand to point out that, whilst the surroundings might look Premiership quality, the difference with Div 4 is that it's real fans who attend.
By the way, my least favourite away stewards were at MKDons (but maybe they just seemed even worse after that result). Best....possibly Wycombe?.
Maybe the knobness of stewards is in proportion to the amount of exposed concrete at the stadium.
