Fan ejected at back of east stand ??
« on November 25, 2015, 03:31:19 pm by 1-0 to the Doncaster »
Bizarre situation last night I counted 12 stewards inc the "chief steward" called to eject a guy who always stands at back of east stand just where family area starts. Chief steward  got a bit of grief from one fan for being well over top. Bang out of order by stewards any idea what happened??

From my experience there are also idiots get invited to VIP( including Leeds supporters). I was once invited to lunch then found myself in a seat behind a loud mouthed ' Rubbish Rovers ! You're a load of w*****.! type, and his lumpy mate . I stayed silent until I had to ask him to shut up or eff off home. That caused the inevitable rucus that I always seem to cause when I meet negative bas**rds live  at Keepmoat as opposed to on a forum
.The half time whistle gave both time to cool off ,and I had prepared,( with my wife's quiet influencial insistence)  my explanation as to why negative comments against MY Rovers upset me . BUT  he and his minder didn't return to their complimentary seats and had either gone home or were watching Sky Sports in the lounge drinking  free  VIP drinks on OUR club!

       I don't like these free loaders you often get over East side on invitations from sponsors  . Who invites them and why do they always pick a different MOM to the other 6,000 of us ?

You will normally find that the sponsors MOTM plays down the east stand side in the second half. Either that or it is someone the sponsors want to meet.
It is not that often that the sponsors MOTM is a popular choice with the majority of fans.

It was our very own, SilentMajority. Was sat very close to Martin but don't know why it happened though.

If this is true and Silent Majority has been ejected from the Keepmoat, then I despair.

Words fail me, which is probably a good thing.

It's hard to believe that's for sure. But then Andy Liney being barred from Bradford was bizarre as well.

As the OP says, very bizarre.

Doesn't post for over three years, in which quite a lot has happened to put it mildy, yet some bloke being ejected from the east stand is worthy of comment. It must have been some incident.

Was definitely SM, I sit near Martin every match. Half a dozen of the Gestapo on a mission as an escort. Again, no idea why though.

Perhaps there IS NO alliance between club and Official Supporters Club. He has obviously rocked the boat but I think we should ALL stand up in support of him in any way deemed necessary. In recent contact with Martin over something I found him very supportive of my views and suddenly club wanted me to attend a function at pitch side. I declined.

Nothing alters in Politics, I can support the team from my front room and as Martin listened to me I shall withold my money until it becomes clearer.

As we know, Martin is a strong campaigner for fans rights and champions fair deals and fair treatment for us all. Whilst I appreciate this incident is being looked in to, you can bet the Steward/stewards picked on the wrong one!

As said, let's hope some good comes out of it.

Sorry. I put money in both and presumed wrongly there were connected.

BUT matters not.  The incident if true shows the dangers of buying Season Tickets, you are identified by all at the club. Martin sticks up for the fans..Then HOW just HOW did employees of the club know where he was sitting and why was this done. Answer please Liam Scully or the Club CEO who have attempted recently to cover their tracks in an incident in West Stand match v Barnsley in 90th Minute in which I was involved.

I know nothing about it but on the face of it does not sound good at all.

On a previous deleted thread, somebody said can we not deal in speculation with regard to the fan who was ejected. Should we not be doing the likewise with the club's actions until more becomes clear?

The stewards all twelve of them are employed by DRFC. One man requires twelve eager, ready and primed stewards. No reason there is there.

Perhaps you should make contact and ask for the club's statement

I perhaps unfairly yesterday mentioned the incident in a separate thread but have been in contact with a few since this has occurred.
A few things that I do know is that Martin is the best placed person in the ground to pick apart any wrong doings by stewards. He knows the training they should be given better than anyone at the club I've no doubt. With that in mind there must be some repercussions with this.
Secondly, as someone who witnessed an avoidable eviction early in the season there are some severe questions to be asked of those being tasked with doing so.
Why on earth any team was sent to deal with someone so well known to the club is beyond me and frankly an insult to the work Martin does for the club - for free - in his own time.
Lastly there seems to be some gaping gaps in terms of training on conflict resolution and ground regulations. These need fixing very very quickly as we can ill afford for this kind of situation to be carried out on any fan of DRFC.
Back to the drawing board!

Luckily nobody here is suggesting that so we don't need to know.

I think the club should bow its head in shame! Most people know (some don't) that Martin does a lot of work for the club in his own time and free of charge. He has been a supporter for over 50 years! Surly this should have earned him some sort or credibility!
I think the steward involved should have more training regarding his communication abilities, and spend time dealing with the real trouble causers at matches.
It's disgusting the way this has been handled by the club. Shame on you DRFC!!

I dont think it was unfair, Wes.  To me, its a valid discussion to be had.  After all, this could have happened to any one of us.

Has the club made a statement on this?  If not, how can we know how the club has dealt with the situation yet?  I am not defending nor condoning anything, but to say otherwise is speculation, unless I have missed something?

Agree. IDM. 

As I posted elsewhere, lets try not to speculate (and that means from both perspectives).  This is still an ongoing matter.

I wonder if all the DRSG directors agree..?

I was sat next to Martin at the game so know exactly what occured. I have given the club a full description of events and am eagerly awaiting the result of the investigation as the behaviour of certain people left my son upset and wanting to leave the game 15 minutes into the second half.
I just want to say when it all comes out I hope Martin gets the  proper apology he deserves.
