Complaint about yesterday

[tench68]

I had a front row ticket which was at pitch level but brilliant view
I suffer with bad knees so after about 20 mins of standing as everyone else was I sat down then all of a sudden a steward decided to sit down right in front of me blocking my view
I ask him if he could either move of sit down lower but he just blanked me
I spoke to a senior steward but he told me he had too stay where he was
Had to stand for the remainder of the game and im suffering today
Why are stewards getting so bad
Seems to be at every ground even ours
We pay a lot of money to watch this games and surely they can use their common sense!!!

Wish our own fans would not spend entire away games standing also.

Did u ever go when there was terracing ?

[loftbalcony]

Yes but it was'nt fitted with seats .

Yes but it was'nt fitted with seats .

he's got a fair pt, although I guess it works both ways. I leapt up with excitement and stood for a few mins because we were slating terry and the chant was loud and impressive. I was told to sit down. I don't think you should stand 90mins but sometimes you just have too

common sense and steward,to be fair only prerequisite for being a steward is, you need to have been bullied at school,iQ of a jelly fish,put on the earth to p iss off other human beings.dream job.

I generally stand at away games but go to the back to do so as it would do my head in if I was a fan tryna sit down and the bloke in front was standing up blocking my view.

*insert weight related comment regarding blocking view here*.

at west ham all away fans stand every game

[loftbalcony]

I don't mind standing up when everyone else does for bits of game like corners or a run down the wing or attacking play etc but to stand for whole game is a joke and can be selfish if kids or older fans are behind you. Newcastle away is a prime example as standing only makes you further from pitch than the 1/4 mile high you already are ! At Newcastle last season a woman a few rows back saw very little of game as could only stand for a few minutes.
Don't want to be a moaner but we all pay good money for a ticket and all I'm saying is no need to stand for the entire game.

Def think there needs to be standing sections

If you want to stand, go to the back. If you want to sit go to he front. Not fair on the old boys who have to stand because others are

I been going to QPR matches home and away since 1974
Use to stand in the paddock when I was younger
After 4 operations on my knees unfortunately I cant stand up for 90 mins!!!

Don't really understand this obsession with 'standing.'
I used to stand in the days when there were terraces, but what with age, and like the OP, I have bad knees also, I wouldn't stand if you paid me, and as I paid to sit, I wouldn't be at all happy if some Herbert stood in front of me, spoiling both my view, and enjoyment of the game.

As for stewards, they are like most people today when given just the smallest bit of authority, it goes right to their heads, and what little common sense they may have had before, simply goes right out the window.
This issue with surly stewards going out of their way to spoil people's enjoyment in a manner bordering on insolence, has to be addressed, as that is no way to treat paying customers in any service/entertainment industry, never mind one as expensive as football.

Does anyone stand for the whole match at Loftus Road since the terracing was removed?

[TW7R]

I do
