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

Perhaps there IS NO alliance between club and Official Supporters Club Viking Supporters Co-operative.
Anyone know how you nominate someone for a sainthood?
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!
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!!

To me, its a valid discussion to be had. After all, this could have happened to any one of us.
