Stewards and police

Give over. Some right hysteria, not to mention hypocrisy here.

If we are having light touch policing on smokes, fine, but let it be even handed

If we can enjoy shouting and swearing at the fence, fine, but not let's then immediately turn our cameras on the Barrow fans, aiming to settle long held scores against them

If we aren't confronting general nobbery, fine, but don't then ban a load of kids for doing the same (and cheer about it on here btw)

And no..not condoning bricking buses, fighting or chucking things in the ground

The segregated fence does work if it is controlled properly. Just think back to last season when they came here and there was no fence.

Thought I'd let this thread run a few days before posting.

Just an idea, and I've spoken to no one about it at the moment, but if anyone wants to be involved in a small group to ask some questions to the police/stewards I'll try and set up a meeting between them and a few supporters to see if we can clear up a few issues.

If you're interested just drop me a pm with your e-mail address, I'll then put you in touch with each other and we'll go from there. I'm not saying everyone will come out of the meeting (if I can organise it) all smiling and happy, but it might be worth a try.

I'm sure they've had meetings before nothing changes so whats the point in yet another meeting.

That's fair enough, if there's no interest in it then that's fine. It was just an idea.

You have had meetings with the Cassons in the past and nothing has changed. Yet you still have them (and you go out of your way to have them).

This links nicely to the other thread as to why there is no atmosphere at Holler Street. Football is just too sanitised these days.
I was in the main stand with my three kids, and from where I was sitting the Macc fans were vocal from the off, yeah, they had a few who had had a bit much to drink but pretty much on a par with what I see in the Barrow away end.
I agree though, policing needs to be consistent.
