yes get rid of the stewards, no need for so much policeing hoolism at an all time low, save our club thousands

[silent majority]

Stewards?? The stewards are there for safety reasons, disorder is the responsibility of the Police. These days over 50% of football games are Police free which reflects the current attitudes of supporters. Increasingly DRFC games are Police free which is saving the club serious money.

They don't have a choice, the Green Guide details that and is overseen by the local Safety Advisory Group. As for away fans, the only other option is to draft in Police to do that job which costs more money and takes them away from other operations.

Southend fans looked like stewards with their day-glo shirts!

I am not sure how you can call the stewarding "stupidity" if you are unaware of what we have to do?

What's this fetish about writing Askern? Half the threads you've posted on tonight have talked about memos. Who's writing to whom eh? And what about? It's impossible to work out from the diarroeah of your posts.
