Made me laugh reading the paper, I really do think Paul Buckle believes the crowd noise after their goal was our reaction to lift the team BUT as we all know, who could see what was happening, was a reaction from the Family stand and the Ellacombe end of the Pop-side giving a female steward a load of grief because one bloke in the Family stand was standing up being quite noisy with his support and she went over and told him off, so the reaction from everyone around this incident was to give her loads of sh1t. Then good old Sally comes over and tries to resolve the situation to no avail, the crowd gets more reactive and before you know it the Pop-side were singing "stand if you love the Gulls" anyway before you knew it the whole ground was standing up and singing but most of it was initially a reaction to the over zealous, get off the yellow line but don`t upset the away fans stewards! The Histon goal was a mere co-incidence. Sorry Paul but it tickled me a little bit reading that in the Herald Express," The crowd lifted the players at the right time" o.k. it might have done just that but not for the reasons you might have thought!  |

I think that the bloke in the Santa hat should go into the pop-side, I think it's fair enough that people in the family stand have young kids and old age people, and maybe some people don't want to hear that sort of language or noise like that. But I think telling a paying supporter of the club to sit down and be quiet is ridiculous. Especially as it was an Argyle steward that told him to. Also on the subject of stewarding, what is with all the new faces around the pop-side, the bloke (Chris, I think his name was) that normally polices the pop-side bit is very fair, but for some reason he's been moved either back to Plymouth, or somewhere else. |

I spoke to him after a game once and asked him why he had been moved and theres loads of different stewards near us and he said that the head steward didnt think he could handle us properly. Why is riduclos in my opinion. Yes, there should be stewards there where we are but to say that we are out of contoln is ridiculos. |

I can remember that women steward (The 'Nazi' one) telling him off after the Tim Sills Penalty. Ever since then I've not seen him. Shame. So apparently we're out of control, Have you seen his replacement, The wind could knock her over. Bring Back Chris.  |

on the subject of the the guy in the orange santa hat.
a work mate of mine is a steward on the family stand ,he has told me that the lovely steward 043 overstepped her authority as it was not her section ,he has also said the guy was doing nothing more than supporting his team.
my steward mate also told me that orange santa hat man , is friendly with colin lee ,i dont know but maybe thats why sally appeared so quickly to calm things down

I really do not think, we have can very many complaints with the stewards we now have at Plainmoor, that was not the case when the security company that has the contract, first took over, from our own stewards.
Many more are now local people and not the thugs we had to put up with a few seasons ago, I don't see any walking around now, who I would class as intimidating, as the ones before were.It was not so long ago that an on line newspaper report in Plymouth, had over 200 replies to the story it was running.
The stewards were assaulting the away fans week in and week out down at Home Park and some away fans got badly hurt. Even many Plymouth fans started staying away from Home Park, as they also felt very intimidated by the stewards, the same ones that we had here.
I'm sure the club would have had many talks with the company who supply our stewards and would have made it very clear, that changes had to be made, not only in personnel, but the whole way they went about doing things in the ground. No club really can stand by and watch its paying customers be subject to the things we were, by people that they are employing in the first place.
Yes I know the yellow lines drive many mad and I can understand why some feel the stewards go on about the lines far too much. The real problem is,that due to new safety rules in grounds, they have to be there and our club would soon be in trouble, if the rules were not enforced.
It would only take one safety inspector to be in the ground and if the stewards were just letting people stand in on the yellow lines, playing games at Plainmoor would be at risk. I would imagine even the stewards get fed up with having to tell fans to get off them, but you can bet, its something that is drilled into them, to make sure the lines are kept clear.
As in most things in life, you will always get one or more jobs-worths, who will not use any common sense, but on the whole, things really are so much better now and as more locals train to do the job, it will only keep getting better.
