Having watched the clips on BT sport, the first goal looked like an OG, the shot was not on target. Second was a sucker goal, e should have closed the space off and Dans was an excellent finish. Shame about the penalty.the first goal was a huge deflected shot which was going no where near
As the ground safety Officer I am concerned to read reports of ‘heavy handed’ stewarding. Please bring your concerns to me and I will do my best to address them. I’m the gentleman at the ground with safety Officer on the back.thanks Nigel I will come and talk to you happily at the next home game . To be clear for me the new restrictions are not the issue it's the way they are being implemented . I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall at the team brief for these stewards as it felt like we were some type of enemy
As a club official it is not my place to detail why things have had to change at the ground.
Hopefully the club will officially post more information to explain the new restrictions.
Really disappointed with the Stewards, I asked my 86 year old Dad to sit in the stand (he's usually on the pop side) to avoid being man handled, I was embarrassed with myself for getting angry and confrontational when the Steward pushed me in the back (I did react, and he backed off). Everything about the day was disappointing, yet it's my club, in my heart and I will be there for every game.there is a theme here of stewards laying hands on people . Disgusting
it was myself that was manhandled for simply asking how I could stand in an already full area . I fully concur with your post . I have never seen anything like it before at moss laneThe treatment of the Alty fans today was an utter disgrace and I shan't be going again until this is sorted; having discussed how things played out with others who were there, I expect they will feel the same way this evening.
Today:
i) saw stewards repeatedly threatening to remove a group of lads from the ground for standing too near to a fence
ii) saw a steward manhandle a chap who questioned how he could move to the area by the CH that was already packed
iii) saw stewards instruct people into areas where close contact was inevitable and merely shrug when this was pointed out
The atmosphere where I was standing was febrile.
The stewarding today was over-the-top and deeply unpleasant.
I've experienced some shabby treatment when I've travelled to away grounds, but honestly, I don't think I've ever been as pissed off as I was today at ML.
It was toxic in there today. Security & stewards from all over the North West,who were rude and chaotic in their manner. No interest at all in the club.spot on this mate
I was moved 4 times in the first half and wasn't blocking any exit or at the front.
It is so sad and this has all come from a letter within the club. The coward should have the bottle to identify themselves. This is killing us. I am not going back until we are allowed over 3k because I am that angry/upset about it all.
That game should have been switched and any others should until this shower of sh*t passes.
The terraces look as if they have had some pointing work done and that's it.
I was told the security is costing us thousands. Really upsetting.
I agree with most things said. I'm a season ticket holder but will not be attending again with these restrictions, stewards telling people to move all the time and into areas where there was no room. AS someone shouted what hapend to distancing. Cramming people into such a small area is NOT a safe approach , Why are we no longer allowed along the perimeter fence, have never seen this present any problems before. Absolutely pissed off with it, it is costing us in every way on and off the pitchI completely agree with this post . Very very sad times
Surely the security will be an ongoing requirement?absolutely it will be part of the changes required for full attendance . We need it no doubt about that . But to be manhandled for no reason is not acceptable .
If it is to be played at the JDS, it could be an idea for season ticket holders to confirm their attendance by a certain time so that their places can be made available to others who may not have been able to go.100 quid each on ebay
To start the process, myself and Mrs S will not be able to go so there's two seats more available.
agree with this . You don't ask . You don't getThis fixture should have been switched.Can see the sentiment, but I doubt that Southend would have agreed to it at such short notice as it wouldn't have given them time to get their commercial side lined up. And that's assuming the league would have allowed it.
Short notice is only a problem at this stage. The request could have been logged at 9 am last Wednesday. Given the league accepted our move to Broadhurst Park last season I am sure that they would have at least entertained the idea and allowed us to put a case forward, a good case at that.
Southend and The National League have every right to reject the idea, and I agree that Southend may well have done so for the reasons Hemel Alty states, but we haven't even entertained it. I find that disappointing personally as it was a potential fix.
literally the no one likes us song has never been more aptEverybody hates us............. and now we have a decent pitch, we can't expect the weather to get us a handy postponement.we couldn't even get a postponement when we had most of the team out for the covid farce .....😬🤮😳
