Has there been any news about our stewards, I really hope the club do not renew the contract of the ones we have. I always hoped we would go back to the days, when we did it in house. At least we know the stewards and never had any problems with them.

At least we know the stewards and never had any problems with them.[/u] I think that is a good theory but maybe not so good in practice. I seem to remember Mr Richardson miss quoting the tust at the forum a year or so back about them taking it over. I would love to see it in house but I can't see who would do it? That said I hope we have a different company this year instead of the rent a thugs. Maybe I will see things in a different light after I have spent 6 days stewarding at glastonbury though! |

In deed you might, don't forget your wheelie boots Jamie,
I believe we should do it in house, our stewards before did the job OK and we knew many of them. Yes we never had enough, but I had hoped the tust could somehow provide the people to do it.

I hope you are right , It would be good to have it in house I have never been and think I'm too old now ;D ;D also not one for rolling around in the mud. Its such a shame such a great event never seems to get good weather. Mind you if E.L.O were to highlight the show, I'd go and buy me boots tomorrow, ;D ;D |

I don't think there will be any stewarding changes next season Dave! Is there any reason you say that? even little old me has had run -ins with our stewards. You would think that the club was well aware, of the problems some of them have caused. While I understand the problems setting up new steward arrangements, I would have though that making Plainmoor even a more welcoming place, had to be also as important as other changes being made. |

Well, the guy I know says the club have no problems with the current steward setup...it's only a few fans!
He also reckons that it is now so costly to train stewards up to the standards required only a few specialized firms do it to requirements now.
To actually get enough 'in-house' volunteers to watch the crowds and not the match etc etc would just not be feasible if you include the costs to train all of them.
