It was sung from A block because they were having trouble with the jobsworth stewards. |  |

Which makes it even more embarrassing really. Calling your own stewards scum  |  | | |

It seemed to me the stewards were trying to get people to sit down, so they sung a song where everyone stands up. |  |

I thought it was in response to Palace fans singing “sit down if you love Norwich” |  |

I remember being in the LNS and someone called a steward a FN Nazi,that went down well. |  |

Yeah,
It's in the ground regulations though isn't it? Not really being 'jobsworths' as it were, it's hardly as though we were creating so many chances there was no point in sitting down again. |  |

Exactly.
It’s always happened. | |

So that's local rivalries on the verboten list of things that aren't cool enough.
What other core parts of football culture do you go round cringing at? |  |

Cos it's absolutely them being jobsworths.
The part of the ground is frequented by people who want to stand up and watch the game, as they have done without harming anyone for years - and the stewards decide to request they sit down because of what exactly?
And before the usual consort bang on about ground safety - I look forward to them explaining how the action of standing up is dangerous.
I accept it can be seen as anti-social if people wished to sit down (and can't see) but that is clearly not the case in A block. No one complains, everyone is happy and yet the club officials decide to try and stop them watching football in the manner they have done for years... |  |

Not to mention the NS which is not designated a safe standing area as far as I know.
It would be interesting to see how the stewards currently assigned to A block would get on were they re-assigned to NSL.
The only safety issues I have seen in Cobbold A are when 6 or more stewards congregate at the top of the vomitorium to watch the game and when they narrow that exit by insisting that they "need" two of them at the top of the stairs when the game ends. |  |

It doesn't matter how successful they are with their requests, as long as the club can show the policy, the policy is used on matchdays & occasionally people sit down.
Then the authorities who monitor this stuff don't fine the club money, money we could spend on players etc etc.
You might all think you're cool rebelling against authority asking you to do quite simple things, but if the result is the club gets fined a 5 to 6 figure sum for persistent standing issues, whose going to be so smug about that ? | | | |

The stewards can ask me to sit down as much as they like but if they attempt to enforce that then they will put the club in breach of contract with me as I have a ST in the designated safe standing area.
I witness first hand every home game stewarding that ranges from the absurd to the dangerous, undertaken by many who seem happy to appear intimidating but less so to assist. My issue with their requests of other fans to sit is not the request itself, as you have assumed, but the way they go about it.
On a personal level I resent my perfectly legal movement around the stadium being continually blocked by gatherings of stewards and I am concerned that my safe exit from the ground is put at risk, every game, by the very people who are engaged to protect it.
So, "looking cool by rebelling against authority"? Nope, look elsewhere.
While we are about it , perhaps you can point me to any football club penalised for persistent fan standing because I'm struggling. | |
