Yesterday it finally happened, a punch up with the stewards during the game due to the military style stewarding they feel is necessary. When a steward asks you to move 6" to your left so your in line with your seat that's one thing but when they push you and bark orders at you that another, but the robust style that they displayed in QU block yesterday was a joke and led to nasty scenes where the Rangers faithful fought back and a few of the steward mafia took a dig. When confronted at HT the supervisor went out of her way to say they can do what they want and they have been given orders,well if this is the case things are going to get very heated at the rest of the games this season.

About time we are qpr and we won't be

Wasn't near that incident but did notice, for the first time, that stewards were asking to see tickets at the Ellerslie entrance before you entered the turnstile. FFS. If you haven't a ticket, you can't get through the freaking turnstile. Dumb assess. Can you imagine how these muppets in hi viz would manage in a real emergency.Comment

They migt be asking that to show you where your seat is? If you are not a season ticket holder and attend only a few games every season, like I do, then they can actually be helpful. I sometimes have orientation difficulties in crowded spaces and the steward standing at the op of the stairs next to my block entrance, quickly checking my ticket and pointing me in the right direction is a good thing.Banning people is no longer my hobby,
but take a look at my photo blog:

One of the stewards was having a pop at some fella in q block midweek who had young kids with him . They weren't doing anything untoward . They are always well over the top while the away fans seem to be able to do whatever they wantComment

No. Before you entered the ground... They wanted to see the ticket before you presented them at the turnstile. Your suggestion is good stewarding. I'm not anti steward. Just dumb a55 actions. i follow any sensible instruction. For instance I'm happy to be frisked before an away game even though one glance at me and an assessment of my age, bearing and demographic would tell you I'm not likely to be carrying an offensive weapon....Comment

I just take no notice of them, never ever bothered me. Some people treat them like screws and just want to have a tare up with them.Comment

Stewards are there to keep the peace but more than half are dimwits and do things randomly without thinking. Security firms pay peanuts so they get whatever no disrespect to monkies.Comment

surely fans can bring the steward situation up with the powers to be before Dyllis the **** gets a shoeing
I must away now, I can no longer tarry
This morning's tempest I have to cross
I must be guided without a stumble
Into the arms I love the mostComment
