CALDERON Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I would imagine that stewards at our level should really have a pretty easy job. Rarely any “real” crowd issues to deal with and it should be a case of keep your head down and get through the game. The worst ones tend to me those who think they are like a branch of the police force. Walking around with Bluetooth headsets or walkie talkies treating bottles of fruit shoot as if they were mobilising troops towards a terrorist target. A game at Morton springs to mind when one of the stewards asked for “backup” to the away end as it was a “hot-spot”. About ten pissed up Rovers fans refusing to sit down and causing minimal fuss to anyone from my memory. Think the same steward went in a huff last season as fans were swearing too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donny86 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 How many times have you seen a full bottle of fruit shoot thrown on the pitch at a football ground?. None, probably because they're not allowed in! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have another look over the article and change anything which is spelt wrong. Thanks for letting me know I've missed certain mistakes within the article. Apologies for that buddy. Speelchecker is definitely your friend though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Head Steward: Right guys, what articles could pose a risk to people within the stadium?Steward A: Lamping someone off the coupon with a penny might be painful. A lighter as well might prove useful as a missile. The stick on a flag could be dangerous.Head Steward: Decent suggestions. Anything else?Steward B: ...bottle of fruit shoot.Head Steward: Now we're talking!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hursty Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I can remember getting a carton of capri sun or ribena or something taken off me at Somerset a good 25 years or so ago as it was deemed a 'missile'. Was around 7 or 8 at the time - my old man was raging. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Taking a fruit shoot of a kid is just ridiculous. Especially when it's being used for medicinal purposes. Would they allow someone an insulin shot in the stadium if it was needed for the same reason? I would hazard a needle would cause more damage than a bottle of fruit shoot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I'm surprised that this weapon was allowed within a mile of a football ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 None, probably because they're not allowed in! That could be the reason. Maybe we should ban coins in grounds. They are thrown way more often than bottles.Either way, some of the rules make little sense. On probability it's unlikely that the kids are going to launch a fruit shoot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of our "fans" got a banning order for doing that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 As an aside, I bought a half bottle of whisky on Links Street and smuggled into the game against Falkirk which we won 2-1, possibly around 2002/2003. Bought coffees and poured it into our coffees during the game. Made the game way better. I can be seen high-fiving the scorer of our second goal (Craig Stanley) while blootered. Don't think I lobbed the bottle on the pitch. Edit: we actually won 2-0 on 3rd January 2004. If was Stanley that scored, though! Amazed I remembered that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumswall Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Doing what? Lobbing coins or fruit shoots? Lobbing coins. If my memory serves me right it was during the game for promotion v the pars at eep. I hadn't seen the guy at starks for a couple of years till last Saturday so I'm guessing his ban is over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith25 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Didn't someone lob a coin at Rab Douglas that season also? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastie Russell Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 All my fault I kicked a bottle of Cola on the pitch in 1982, went from the terrace to just outside the 6 yard box. sorry everybody 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I can name n shame if required. The guys a joke anyway. Rab Douglas was always a good laugh with our fans gave what he got. Same as Alan Martin did last season to an extent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I certainly remember a lighter getting thrown during the derby at east end. Shame games like that bring out the fannies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
