An interesting question which could be answered in various different ways. The most popular answer though might be " Why the f**k would you care about a bit of harmless banter between a couple of local fans ?

Not sure who Brechin employ to do their security but if it’s the same company that supply the muppets at Montrose then this sounds about right. I know that Brechin are not, or certainly approaching the start of last season were not, willing to pay much for security personnel so they’re probably scraping the barrel a bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately there was one incident this season where some day trippers fae Banff on a piss up got into the ground with smoke bombs . I think the polis got involved and the stewards were told to be more vigilant , hence the hassle you got. If you report it to the club I'm sure they can have a word to maintain a more common sense approach. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I witnessed this and not true, searched once as is practice with anyone with a bag. They had 2 bottles taken off then, again stipulation is no bottles allowed in regardless if plastic and this is what made your colleague unhappy - stewards following the law. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about emptying their pockets ? It's non league football,a dad wi his 13 year old kid ffs. There's even cans sold at non league grounds. Some stewards are just p***ks on ego trips,there was one at Stenhousemuir a few year ago similar.

It doesn't happen anywhere else in the Highland League. Obviously if you walk through the gate with a crate of Buckfast they'll probably not let you in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No cans at our ground, maybe cause we are in the league system. No idea re pocket search but we have had 13 year olds attempt to get flairs in and some have hence maybe pocket search. From what I saw stewards were polite and just following protocol. 21 minutes ago, welshbairn said: It doesn't happen anywhere else in the Highland League.

Correct cause they have no stewards and have no ambition to leave the highland league so therefore are not trying to have the SPFL criteria in place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
