Potential Riot

Couldn't believe it today going into the ground. I was queueing up with coat and flask in hand, when this over zealous Scouse steward wearing combat gear walked up to me and tapped the top off my flask with his finger. He then said "I don't know if you can come in with that". I pointed out to him that I had been bringing a flask for the past 20 years now I am a bit older. He then backed down and said they are always changing the rules. To be honest I think he was just a tosser justifying his existence. I hope he doesn't try it with the West stand massives as he might get tied up with all their blankets and scalded with hot Bovril.

I have to say your comments about the WestStand ‘massive’ is a bit crass…
 
I think we have far too many stewards and coppers for the size of crowd. Must cost us a fortune. You see them all lined up 50 yard gap between the two sets of fans like anyone has any intention of trying to breach the line. Ridiculous. He was probably bored and felt he had to say something to justify his position

You did very well to control yourself considering the invasion of your flask’s personal space.

They needed them when the Watford fans started fighting amongst themselves and then with the stewards
 
A bit of over the top comment…..clearly you were let in.Doubt it was the same person who told a 10 year old( age guess) he either had to go and ask for a cup at the refreshment kiosks or drink his can of pop there and then and then give the steward it straight after.
The sad fact is the club will be in trouble if some clown throws a can or whatever onto the pitch so sadly the stewards have to act accordingly.

He'll get strangled with their knitting.
 
Steward in the west , gate 8 need to realise that the new season tickets that are downloaded into your Apple wallet actually do work , one was telling everyone not to bother using them as they haven’t got a bar code on them so they don’t work , they do work .
