The problem on Saturday was indeed the fact they were OTT. Being told to sit down as we score is a new record. We were then told you can stand up if there is something happening in the game, so sometimes it's ok and sometimes it's not. We then get told the usual that it only happens as there is so few there. If it was the in firm our other larger supports they wouldn't do anything. They dont't help themsleves with these statements or by allowing us to stand for 90 minutes at the game back in September. At the end of that game we were getting photo's taken with the stewards as they had been first class.
As for the major flash point, yes said ICT fan is never perfect, hell neither am I, but at the time of the incident,he was siting down and had to be dragged out off his seat by the steward ( P McNeil, PMS Events). This steward was out of control and had forgotten all his training. His manager also had lost control off him and should have had him put to another stand instead of allowing him to come back in to try and control things! He tried to refuse to give me his SIA number but as this is a breach in the regulation I was able to get this and shall be making a complaint to them also.
We all know that standing is a SPl guidline, we just want it to be the same for everyone. Until the day everyone is treated the same, there will be problems. Just allow standing back, shimples!
