The stewarding was over the top i agree. However in no way do i think they were trying to bully us.
We were free to stand up if we so wished without any sort of restriction from the stewards. I was warned not to use my electronic cigarette in the ground to which my reply "you should really have some f*****g signs up then shoudlnt ya?" He just walked off and ignored me.
The police were very friendly as one even took my side on the ecig situation. Oh and he was routing for Saints.
Dont really understand why people were sitting down especially as most of the fans had spent numerous hours sitting on the journey up, surely you would want to stretch you legs.
