    All well and good saying this, but I've been a season ticket holder since the early 90's and i've still yet to see any home fan being confronted by a steward for anything other than filming on a mobile phone. At the end of the day most stewards are simply there for the bit of money they get paid and don't give a hoot about safety/rules etc. For instance, you can always smell & see smoke coming from the top of the toilet cubicles but stewards look the other way

    With regards to the netting at the front of the kop - I can't believe fans actually want to sit there anyway, given the issues when it rains. I can't think of a worse place to sit (except behind Charlie obviously :))

    When I asked if they'd open the doors during the game Saturday for a quick cig the steward basically told me to go to the toilets o_O Agree with your point most stewards don't have a clue and are there for a quick and easy bit of cash.

    Fans get smoke bombs into stadiums, but on Saturday my lad, who is T1 Diabetic, got the 3rd degree at Scunny about his blood sugar tester, kit & insulin pen off a Steward. May be better trained stewards & approach throughout all clubs would be a starting point.

    One of the best atmospheres I can remember was our away victory at Chelsea. It seemed enjoyable enough without pitch invasions or pyrotechnics. Both are unnecessary.

    This should have happened a while back after incidents at other games but at least banning orders now being dished out should hopefully put possibly future incidents to bed.

    Be interesting to see what effect it has. With police spotters and hi def cameras its lot easier to spot the culprits these days.

    Good news about the banning orders for the idiots responsible for their involvement in flares. These idiots are not welcome as far as I am concerned

    Only another 200 to go and we'll have the atmosphere in away games removed completely.

    Took me fecking ages to wash the smoke out of my blanket after the Macc game.

    God how bad was the atmosphere on Saturday. It was truly dire, albeit not helped by the cold and the turgid football.

    Contrary to common delusional belief, our away atmospheres are far worse than any of our Yorkshire neighbours’ matches, and have been for a long time.

    maybe the issue has been the quality of the CCTV at grounds where it has happened, including VP. Big shout out to Macclesfield for investing in a decent set up.

    I'm sure the players appreciate the tens of thousands spent on security.
