Interesting, that, DD, as the ones I'm referring to were certainly on the end of the Whinney Hill Terrace. Could we be talking about two separate sets of Bradford fans abusing Stanley players from home fans' areas - and with stewards failing to take action in either case? It just goes from bad to worse!

it aint just the young uns wi flags etc, about 1 month ago a mate who has to use a stick to walk at the moment was refused acess to were we stand by using the back passage of the clayton end, this was at the start of the game, so he was unable to join us until half time as he could not get through the crowd. a complaint was made about this afterwards, about these knobheads, seems like nothings changed.

Thats right, a lad in his sixties (I think) home & away regular from way before my time has said he will give up if it carries on.

"Move" was shouted at him as he talked to a mate he had spotted as he walked along the back walkway.... Oooh the crime eh?

They know about it, but want to change individuals. Yet it is the mentality they need to change

To be fair I think (re: away fans in home fans) yesterday was an exception.

They where all over the ground.

Which wasnt a surprise

Bout the only poster who has got it right Cashy. Stewards are puppets of their masters and only do what they are told to do. They are human too and perhaps don't particularly like doing what they are told because they know they will get stick on this forum from disgruntled fans. I believe the gripe should be taken to the Chief Steward or Safety Officer. Trust me when I say it is no joke being steward, having done the job in the Premiership at OT, try asking 500 or so fans to sit down or the council will shut that particular block to fans. Also done it at DW stadium here in Wigan and at Accy and believe me when I say it is a thankless task, hence the reason I resigned from being a steward to watch the Stanley instead of taking abuse from both home and away fans. Stewards will never be right.

I understand OO

But this season (bar Leeds) we have been stewarded away from home with common sense. Nowhere in the rules does it say you can't smile or talk to fans like grown ups....

Its the attitude that stinks, and I could go further on the subject as I witnessed some disgusting antics from one in particular yesterday!

bradford fans in all ends .... i ask if they would move bradford out no there ok there ...

cashman · 21-02-2010, 17:47

Don't know whats changed outback, but fer some reason this seasons produced some real ******* on clayton end that at least i can say with confidence, i can honestly envisage one of these getting snotted before the seasons end, cos of the way they deal wi people, then it will be called "Hooliganism" in the press no doubt.

Unfortunately yesterday was always on the cards with Bradford fans possibly being scattered about by not making it all Ticket for the Bradford fans

They have always brought big numbers to the Crown Ground, It dosn't take Einstein to work it out

I suppose the Club would want to get as many through the turnstiles as possible but a little forward planning may have helped

smudgie · 21-02-2010, 18:02

Agreed Pendle.

Good for the club in terms of ££££ through the door, but surely the magnitude of the game, plus the fact Peter Taylor was appointed should have made it all ticket in my opinion.

There were some bradford lot in main stand top end too, whats the point of segregation ??? I think there needs to be a meeting between aggreived fans and steward officials to sort out this issue once and for all. One of many reasons i moved to main stand its less aggro. There are many young stewards now on, think they are boss. All stewards have a hi viz bib which have numbers on the vest on the front right hand side of vest numbers from 01 - 50. These numbers should be assigned to a specific steward ( if done properly ) please note the number and report to chief steward or mick, thats what the new hi viz vests are for, also for micks purpose too.

Flags so i have been told have to be fire retarded and stamped as so before u can bring flags in. Now 2 points here, are the ones sold in clubshop stamped with fire retarded material and 2 what about away end flags are they policed same way as home end, cos bradford has some dangling over boardings.
