On the flip side of things, I believe the club is much better run and far more professional than it was five or six years ago, looking from the outside in.The only thing that's sometimes difficult to decipher is what the long-term aim/strategy is, when the owners opt to take the silent approach.
I believe that this incident will receive the same cover up as the incident in the West Stand was. "A third party" investigated and found the club did nothing wrong "It will never happen again" ha ha ha.The club did nothing end of. How dare fans complain against a football club. Look at what happens at Blackpool. That tells a story.
What statement do you expect them to make?

In this case the family just seem happy that everything ended well, but if they were put into the hands of some scummy ambulance chasers, who knows?You have to hope that lessons genuinely have been learned. Having worked in plenty of organisations where lessons are always being "learned" then quietly forgotten about I'm sceptical but there we go!But as for public statements, you won't get anything that might hint they got it wrong.
wasn't at game but if this is the same incident I was told then surly the fan involved with all his so called training knows that pushing a steward in the chest is classed as assault and is an ejection I hope it got caught on cctv so the truth can come out either way
From my Police Days and when bouncers had done wrong under the cameras, it is amazing how many things can go wrong with CCTV or camera was aiming elsewhere.If it was the little fat scruffy unshaven Chief Steward with a black tashe it does not surprise me. But one day he will over react and get caught out. Maybe a complaint of a breach of the peace be made to the Police, because he was acting outside of his duties and used more than the necessary force in the issue. BET THAT DOES NOT GET SHOWN ON CAMERA.
This isn't the description of a club I want to be part of.
The thing is and the more I think about it. It seemed very orchestrated from elsewhere the steward kept talking into his mic and receiving feedback from somebody who was 'directing' the precedings. At one point he shouted 'Did you see that? Did you see that?. My guess is the cameras were homed in specifically and the little man in the tower was conducting.

That's been happening for years and happens with every security issue in the stands. It's definitely not a case specific thing.But, people really have amazing double standards on these issues. When I posted about the CCTV, the searches outside the ground and threat of dogs we had earlier in the season people were all for it. If it stopped the pyros great they said! Now we have potential examples of it being used indiscriminately and suddenly people have a different take on it.
