Stewards at GP

[WarrenBee]

Is there any reason why they have to stand in front of ER with 5 minutes to go of every home game? Most stewards at other grounds appear to be sitting or crouching, is there any reason why ours can't do the same?

 

[Hullbee]

Health and safety its gives them bad backs when they are forced to crouch. Also there not stewards but crowd control operatives

you are clearly planning a pitch invasion and your type are not welcome at griffin park.

also, why were they manhandling me rather than the f**ham fans in the braemar forecourt on saturday afternoon?? they should have been HELPING the home fans!! no doubt our socalled manager was behind this latest little episode.

 

[timmy_boy5]

Maybe they learnt it on their course in 'Spectator Safety'

 

[westwing]

Remember how useful the stewards were last season against Lutonlol

The corner of New Rd and Ealing Rd.......Steeeeeeeeeeeeeeamrofl

I don't want that lanky streak of p*ss standing in front of me. I won't see a thing!

You've rumbled me, first stop Griffin Park next stop Poland, and then on to conquer the World.

New Roaders had to jump overlol

 

[Jammy-Jae]

in seriousness if they stood a few feet back, i.e. near the touchline, they would be blocking peoples views less. and maybe they could crouch down if there was a corner up the ealing road end late on. it is not on if they are blocking some kids view. or adults. ask them to move and i'm sure they will. they are normally pretty terrified, poor f**kers.

:computer:

still my post 6 was a serious question. they should have been on brentfords side in that incident.

[Hullbee]

Didn't like seeing OUR OWN stewards demanding Brentford fans be searched at half time... What gives them the right to do this at away grounds without a police officer being present?!?

The police get enough flack for using stop and search so how come there stewards get away with doing a personnel search without an officer present?

 

[Northwestsbuzzinbee]

What happened was this at shewsbury

 

[Hullbee]

What happened was this at shewsbury

Yeah. It was clear that small round steward from Ealing road was instructing their stewards to search Brentford fans at half time in a room in the corner of the stand. I was always led to believe searches once a person was inside a venue could not be carried out other than in the presence of the police. Maybe I am wrong on this point but it is disgusting to think Brentford stewards are seeking to take the law into their own hands rather than leaving it to the police and home stewards.

There was no grounds to search this fans in terms of their behaviour inside the ground!!!

They were hungry and looking for chocolate.

 

[Northwestsbuzzinbee]

Shocking ...I'm sure an officer has to be present and have good grounds unlawful ..I would of said u are holding me agaist my will .

 

[Hullbee]

http://www.urban75.org/football/rights.html

Stewards have no right to search you once inside the ground and neither do the police unless the believe you have committed an offence....

Therefore I am worried the stale smelling bowling ball steward may attend further away games demanding Brentford fans are ejected just because he doesn't like them from experiences at home games.....

 

[Hullbee]

Shocking ...I'm sure an officer has to be present and have good grounds unlawful ..I would of said u are holding me agaist my will .

And you touching my person against my will is assault

 

[Houghton Bee]

You'll be writing a letter of complaint to BFC, Hullbee?

 

[Hullbee]

Wasn't involved personally just witnessed it and not being a big fan of stewards behaviour was disgusted with what I saw.

Ok they may be trouble makers but they weren't doing anything wrong at that point in time so why are Brentford stewards instructing other clubs stewards to take action??

That's why we have them nice police men following us around the country is it not???

 

[SmiffyBee]

Perhaps they were looking for known flare bearers.

If you have nothing to hide a quick search can be quite pleasurable.

There's taking your job seriously, and there's being an utter jobsworth - this particular steward falls into the latter category.

I overhead him refusing to comment on the managerial job to (I presume) to a mate of his after Andy Scott had left, due his "senior position within the club". His mate had only asked his opinion, not if he'd heard anything.

I have seen him standing proudly in front of Ealing Road at the end of matches, as though his mere presence is preventing a pitch invasion.

I have seen him stop an old bloke eating a packet of crisps before a match in Ealing Road.

He also moved a couple of smokers all of two yards behind Ealing Road as they were deemed to be too close to the stand.

Probably a lot more I've not witnessed! Another who gets drunk on three/four hours of power at the weekend.

 

[nocoat]

lol tell me more about crispgate!!

 

[clad1]

They can only search you if they ask your permission and you grant it.

 

[ladbroke]

And if you say no, they will bring it to attention of police who will... No win situation...

Was this in the toilets?

All seemed a bit silly and stopped me having a sneaky smoke in the cubicle.

 

[Sultan]

Are we talking about the Charlie Drake stunt double?

 

[Billy Hunt]

:laugh: More like quadruple. :laugh:

 

[BFC1997]

He tried to get me searched at Wolves and the steward just laughed at him.....

 

[Paul USA]

Why is he there even ?? - is it some FL rule or just BFC ??

 

[Thorne In The Side]

Just searched Charlie Drake........now I know who you are talking about

 

[wanderer paul]

Stewards from the away club can be requested to attend the match by the home club.

The same with the police.

He said to me that he couldn't write in to Boris because of a conflict of interest. I replied and said most of the other club employees have written in, he just shrugged "well I still wont"

He also Stewards CAMRA beer festivals and threw my friend out of the Kingston BF for singing Bees songs, I think it was the day before the playoff final.

 

[joebee]

lol tell me more about crispgate!!

Yeah they were passed there sell by date.

 

[red'n'white rick]

He stormed to the front of the queue away at Port Vale flashed his "badge" and demanded to see a supervisor. Not sure If the club ask him to go to away games or not but I've seen him at quite a few this season.

 

[fencer/bee]

Just searched Charlie Drake........now I know who you are talking about

I think he has a brother also a steward, we call him" lurch" wears a blue bib. 7ft tall with straggly black hair

 

[BFC1997]

well he's a Brentford fan but I think he likes taking his false sense of authority with him wherever he goes

 

[Hullbee]

Well new Brentford should demand employees wash and wear repectable clothing.. I think he stewards the supporters coach getting himself free travel to the game...

 

[EASTBRISTOLBEE7]

I hate stewards ! why do they think they have the authority to treat fans ( we are paying customers remember ) like second class citizens. The stewards at brentford are giutless, when needed like against pompey last year they are useless but stand in the aisle for a few seconds and they swing into action. leave policing crowds to the police.

Yeah I have seen him walking up and down in front of the Ealing Road stand thinking he is the big I am! its bloody Brentford FC not Galatasaray FC also that women steward that patrols the Braemar Road Stand thinks she is a female Judge Dredd.

I like the tall black steward on ealing road uses his common sense rather than trying to be a ****.

Against gillingham the bar area in Ealing road was like a cattle crush caused by people lining up for food and drinking beers close to the point at which cannot be consumed. Dumpy rather than opening up the entrance by moving people this allowing people to pass to and from Ealing road just stood there

 

[snorbee]

Yep, obnoxious little man(?) full of piss and self importance. He always puts me in mind of Elmer Fudd!!
Ship him out and get skin'ed on loan from the creepies with a view to making it permanent at the end of the season

they were searching for smoke bombs.thought youd be happy ?

But should have done that before the game.. What would have happened if we scored in first half say?

because they get away with it at Brentford as our fans are very civilised,alot of other clubs fans wouldn't put up with it......And Brentford police have more than showed they are incapable of policing Bees games.,they are the same as the stewards,very good at stomping authority on their own fans but when away fans kick off they stand back and let them enjoy themselves,often quick enough to sort out any Brentford fans reacting though
