OldNick Posted 6 January, 2009 Posted 6 January, 2009 I watched with interest during the game with Man utd the away fans having myand others seats were not constantly being hassled to sit down. At no time were the stewards attempting to get the fans to sit down. I do hope this precident will be kept at the next home game.
Master Bates Posted 6 January, 2009 Posted 6 January, 2009 I was sat in the Northam and for once the stewards never hassled us during the game, stood up all the way through. Cheers Stewards nickh, i'm surprised you're able to stand for 90mins
Chez Posted 6 January, 2009 Posted 6 January, 2009 never seen the stewards hassle a big away following that wants to stand up.
alpine_saint Posted 6 January, 2009 Posted 6 January, 2009 never seen the stewards hassle a big away following that wants to stand up. Yep, I'll wager that had everything to do with the ManYoo fans and nothing to do with ours. Usual service to be resumed next match then.....
Thedelldays Posted 6 January, 2009 Posted 6 January, 2009 i have been to plenty away games with saints when have not been hassled to sit down...

Cheers Stewards nickh, i'm surprised you're able to stand for 90mins MB I was go9ing to take a leaf out of your book and go to the bar 15 minutes before half time and so only do a 30 minute stint.
scott_saints Posted 6 January, 2009 Posted 6 January, 2009 Tbf they hardly hassle Saints fans in the Northam anyway. Well they try, but only the homs at the bottom listen. They never get more than half way up before being told where to go.

I don't drink at half time, I do the whole 90mins except weekday games when i've got work the next day, surely you must remember or is the alzheimers kicking in now
Marsdinho Posted 6 January, 2009 Posted 6 January, 2009 i stood for the whole game in Blk 1 and wasnt asked once to sit down....
Denzil Posted 6 January, 2009 Posted 6 January, 2009 Man Utd's away following is pretty notorious, our stewards were probably scared.

Will be business as usual with our population of grandmas,student wimps and schoolkids though.

Window Cleaner Posted 6 January, 2009 Posted 6 January, 2009 WC in stereotyping shocker :shock: Sorry BTF, forgot you are a grandma. I have it on excellent authority(from the annual accounts) that a great percentage of our support are concessionary.
voteforpedro Posted 6 January, 2009 Posted 6 January, 2009 Probably scared of 4200 Manchester dockers and shift workers. Will be business as usual with our population of grandmas,student wimps and schoolkids though. Unlikely lol;) As the coaches went up The Avenue out of Southampton we looked at where they had come from... only one was Lancashire, all others were Croydon, Milton Keynes etc.

I was actually referring to your description of the MU support I may be a grandmother, but I don't qualify for concessions (child bride)
Jonnyboy Posted 6 January, 2009 Posted 6 January, 2009 Sorry BTF, forgot you are a grandma. I have it on excellent authority(from the annual accounts) that a great percentage of our support are concessionary. Prices are too high anyway
AndyNorthernSaints Posted 6 January, 2009 Posted 6 January, 2009 Unlikely lol;) As the coaches went up The Avenue out of Southampton we looked at where they had come from... only one was Lancashire, all others were Croydon, Milton Keynes etc. Hardcore were on the train.
Dannyboy_Saint Posted 6 January, 2009 Posted 6 January, 2009 Hardcore were on the train. Going to London Waterloo. At least half of the Manure fans on my coach were ****neys!
Thedelldays Posted 6 January, 2009 Posted 6 January, 2009 so what if man U fans come from all over...is it some written rule that you must be from the city to support that team no one on here has a problem with all the regional saints supporters clubs..you only have to look on other pages on this forum to see they spread far and indeed, world wide.. add that to the fact that man u are bigger than uis..so is their network of fans..
CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 6 January, 2009 Posted 6 January, 2009 Standing 'on' the Northam Stand would clearly be a serious breach of Health & Safety regulations - you may fall off the roof . Standing 'in' the Northam is an entirely different matter though . It's hardly surprising the stewards were afraid to upset the MUFC away fans , they were just following the example of the referee who clearly was afraid of upsetting Sir Alex by giving the Saints any of the 50-50 decisions.
