Season Tickets + Resignation Confirmation

If you want to know what is really going on within the stadium then hold on to your hats ...

A family member of mine is a steward and they were told by management to identify anyone protesting inside the stadium. Once identified I can only imagine those individuals will be meeting with a ban. That is what we are dealing with here. It has Gardiner's sticky paws all over it.

Where is the line drawn I wonder .. perhaps opening a Werther in a flamboyant manner ?

You tell me ... the management are clearly bothered about the potential protest. I would be inclined to test their resolve to see if a ban was forthcoming - could start by lobbing jelly babies in Gardiner's general direction.

Action can only be taken against someone if they are breaking the law or breaching the conditions of entry, I would have thought?

Oh Leaky, I just love that phrase, and the vision it conjures up. I hope always to be someone who opens my werther in a flamboyant manner (not a euphemism).

I wouldn't be surprised if the conditions of entry will have been changed quietly. Why else ask stewards to identify protestors?

To identify people who might interrupt the game by going onto the pitch, perhaps?

Plenty there that they could cite - 9, 10, 15, 22...

 

Number 19 is a good one - "The wearing of colours and/or regalia of any Football Club other than ICT FC in the Main and North Stand is not permitted. Persons wearing the colours of other Clubs will be refused entry to these areas and if already admitted, will be ejected from the Stadium."

Presumably directors of visiting clubs are asked to remove their club ties?

True, but the Stadium Regulations give plenty of excuses to evict people from the ground.  For instance, we are all "obliged not to behave in a manner which may reasonably be expected to cause any persons to be alarmed, upset or annoyed."  

I think it reasonable to expect that the CEO and the club Board would claim to be both upset and annoyed by chants of "sack the Board" or "Gardiner out", notwithstanding that the wording of such protest is not threatening, vulgar or abusive.  The same goes for any written banner with that message.

Of course, by the same token, we could reasonably argue that we are alarmed, upset and very annoyed that certain people are still in the building and therefore by the club's own regulations, they should be removed from the building!

In practice, as long as folk stay off the pitch, there really is nothing the club can do to prevent a significant number of people making a non-threatening, non-abusive protest in the stadium before, during or after the match.

Ah, that explains Saturday. I take a rucksack to every game, it has couple of ict scarves, ict beanies,  gloves etc, medication EPIPEN and sweets for us, moams not werthers, we are not flamboyant. In the north stand I get asked by the security team if they can search it looking for bottles. No problem. On Saturday the guy searched it and said he was looking for flags. I said cheekily what are you looking for, the sticks on the flag. he said no, flags. 
So he meant banners. 
An old guy with a 10 year old and two 9 year olds I must be looking shifty in my old age. Or maybe not looking my age, seen as a younger delinquent.

So you can’t wear colours or any regalia from other clubs but what if you are covered  from head to toe in other clubs tattoos? 
Maybe it’s something the stewards need to start checking for?

“Regalia” of other clubs. Presumably that includes bowler hats, umbrellas and orange sashes?

So does this mean that Scot Gardiner has been banned from the directors’ box?

Excellent. I look forward to Scott Gardiner being turfed out of the ground given his actions have caused so many fans to become  annoyed

But the CEO can clearly have his Hun material and Hearts etc memorabilia on his office walls which is clearly visible to anyone . This guy is a rocket . Oh how they Gardiners must love their unpopular status around town .

It was certainly an effective method of flushing out SS combatants hiding amongst civilians at the end of WW2.   Not convinced it's quite the same scenario .. although anyone discovered with a "SG"  tattoo on their (upper left inner) arm should be removed for interrogation and de indoctrination purposes ..
