It was Lamex stadium when the away fans arrived but the Lame X stadium when they left.
People have forgotten how to behave, 18 months of no pubs and no crowds and people are getting a bit silly! |  |

Typical Swindon, go to a small club and cause problems |  |

That doesn't look to bad to be honest. Not that I agree with causing any damage. |  | | |

I've never really understood why anyone would become a steward at a football ground.
I assume that its fairly basic money and that showing people to their seats and checking ticket stubs etc etc is fairly low key and undemanding and possibly quite interesting work in a sports stadium.
But then you have untrained in martial arts students, housewives and other general people armed with nothing more than a fluorescent jacket having to pile in and deal with the moronic fools who think that they're admired followers of their team by committing ludicrous acts of violence and stadium wrecking.
These stewards are not muscle bound nightclub bouncers who may be able to handle themselves in such situations but just ordinary people who presumably are expected to throw themselves into violent melees involving often drink and drug fuelled pathetic hooligans intent on hurting people.
I don't quite get why they do it? [Post edited 5 Sep 2021 12:48]

I believe there are some stewards with extra training to deal with real trouble, at the Liberty/Swansea.com they had (or used to have) grab teams, a group of specially trained stewards to deal with more serious trouble. If it turned into a proper fight of course, the police will be called in.
I didn't work as a steward but I worked on the turnstyles down the Vetch, back then it was nowhere near as organised and there was a lot more trouble. Could never find a steward when there was trouble at the turnstyles! | |

An Anfield,clearly as they enjoy a little power.
They do have power to eject people.
Hence they might get off on that .
Ideally,I d love to be a steward but only if I could stove some heads in  |

Wasn't there some trouble with the security firm (who were from Basseyville) running the stewards/security when the Liberty opened.
I'm sure a steward slapped his head whilst he was between the home & away fans in the NE upper. |  | | |

I would say any layperson specially trained for anything other than the basics would or could find themselves in a lot of bother when laying hands on folk. | |

What constitutes an assault would surprise many.
If you ar e going 🟨 someone,do it properly or not at all.
I can provide some tuition if people send me their bank details and sort code.

personally I can't think of any situation where its justified that so called hard men pick on someone because they support the opposition team. Each to their own I suppose. | |

How long did you work on the turnstiles for and what seasons? |  |
| |
| Definite increase in crowd trouble this season on 21:24 - Sep 6 with 2762 views | BarrySwan |
I worked on a turnstile just the once during a Hibs v Hearts match at Easter Road ( my rugby match was off )
Seemed quite straight forward, a full height turnstile which only turned when you had the money in your hand and then pressed the foot operated button.
Hard to imagine anything simpler, which was right except for the last 10 minutes before kickoff when the likely lads quit the pubs and rushed the turnstiles.
It was absolute chaos, money changing hands in a blur, 3 squeezing through on every turn of the fully enclosed cage type turnstile which looking at it you'd think it was impossible it was absolutely mental for that 10 minutes.
Anyway got through it collected my £12 quid and free entry and watched the Hibs get beaten for the 24th straight time in an Edinburgh Derby which takes some doing not even scraping a draw during a run that long. | | | |

Going back to the OP, I'd categorise this in the same pot as the reports of mass drinking and problems outside the Secret Beach Bar, Ogmore or Cardiff Bay. After the best part of two years lockdown, some people are a bit excited and letting off steam.
Not something to be applauded, but perhaps expected. After a bit of Argy bargy following the Sheff Utd game there was nothing in the aftermath of Stoke when maybe you'd have expected more.
It'll pass. |  |
