URCHINDELBOY Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Unfortunately, I haven't had the chance to get on this week before now and provide some observations about the over zealous 'stewarding' at Bognor. I witnessed two northern thugs - I wouldn't dignify them by calling them stewards - harassing and threatening our gateman ultimately requiring the intervention of a member of our board. Apparently they were upset that he'd arrived in a taxi which was directed straight into the ground - he'd offered to to pay his admission fee but they wanted to throw him out verbally abusing and physically threatening him. This is not the sort of behaviour I've ever encountered following the Urchins and I trust that our Board made suitable representations to their Bognor colleagues about this incident.

Big J R Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 This doesn't bode well for non-league football. If true, as stated, there must surely be an investigation. Bognor being on the South coast, I'm somewhat surprised to see the term 'northern thugs' being used. Perhaps an up-date on here would clarify the situation.

Therealhornchurchraider Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I have to agree with urchindelboy! There was no need for the two "thugs" to act in the way they did. I was only a few yards away when this happened and I couldn't believe they was treating someone who works for our club in such a nasty and threatening way...

Eastside Urchin Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Sadly stewards seem to think they are above the law. I remember seeing a similar complaint about their stewards last season on Twitter and a bognor fan defending the away fan and saying that the stewards are basically nightclub bouncers at night and act like they are in the nightclub when stewarding the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
