Can someone talk to the stewards?

Can someone talk to the stewards?

I was standing in the Fever Zone and the stewards at the stadium kept going and telling everyone to sit down!  Kept up their "this is a designated area" and "you can't stand in the aisle" talk.  I bought a season ticket for the yellow fever zone but the 'holder tickets' I was issued are in Aisle 24, there was no way I was going all the way over by the gold zone.

I wanted to tell those stewards that its not a -_-ing rugby match - in football you stand and sing.

Silly thing is, I was standing in my position for 15 mins before the game started and noone said anything or had any trouble getting past me - then when the match started and noone was going past THEN the stewards started their QQing.

Thoughts?

Abit harsh but ultamately they have their rules to follow.

"f**k off stewards!"

similar situation for me and my lad, we no longer go to our aisle 24 seats coz the fever zone is too good too miss, tigers2007-09-09 20:37:26

fever zone was poor 2nyt

Yeh I found a seat a few rows back from the stewards, and a few seats from the edge of the isle too so they couldn't do the "show me your ticket" that they did to some others that I saw.

How so?

The cheers were sporadic. But good when they got going. And the ZM guy looked real confused when noone wanted to talk to him. That was great...

Yeah he was a muppet..

there wer no chants 2nd half at all when you needed to lift the nix wen they wer getting dominated i expected more... what a joke wen that guy was saying best fans in the league

Stewart " Could everyone please sit down. youre havin to much fun. Sit down and stop chanting so we can play music every time theres a break".

what chants were you trying to start?

you leave it to the muppets who chant in the english accent even tho ther kiwis

of course thrs bound 2 be sum english fans in thr hu dnt hav a clue ha sori mate

ZM guy was a bit cheeky. When we were correcting ZM about their use of the "soccer" word, post match, he did the "c'mon Newcastle" bit to me and my friend Bill.

That ZM guy was a plank. I'm glad the fever boys gave him sh*t. "Who are ya?" - This is Jason's ZB stadia, not ZM FM!

Maybe you should start up some Kiwi chants then, aye jiz?

Here, here.

Jiz, seeing as all you do is come on here and talk yourself up and everyone else down, why don't you put up or shut up.

I'll look forward to seeing you in row aa of the Fever Zone, Saturday week keeping it all humming along, or you can just STFU about everyone elses efforts.

he's probably the guy from zm.

The chants did tend to die a bit quicker in the 2nd half, not sure why this was. I was chanting along the whole time, but it did seem a bit quieter. Possibly because whenever someone tried to start a real chant...people up the back would start yet another "clap clap phoenix" chant, so nothing besides that really got going.

As for stewards...they seem to be taking their usual 'no fun' stance that they do at events like the cricket...sad to see. Hopefully if we give them enough sh*t theyll back off?

Stewards were kept busy at the top of Block 22 (Home of the Brooklyn Massive  ) by a rather pissed up Russell Cotton lol  Tourets2007-09-10 12:14:35

Im in dunedin and have watched both games on tv, and the buzz still definitely seemed to be there. Slightly sporadic in 2nd half, epic first half noise, but still a good roar and good shots of fever section. Seems rather than having a go on the forum jiz, get seat aa in the fever zone (as was mentioned) with a stack of chants and get everyone going yourself - i think the term put up or shutup is pretty relevant to your gripe. Look forward to seeing you front centre in the fever zone on tv at the next home game

In the defense of the stewards, there are people who still come into areas of A22 and stand in season tickets holders seats with the view that they can go anywhere, it's happened to us twice now.

There was another group yesterday who stood in the row in front of us, and stood in 3 guys spaces (who had the correct tickets), with the view that they could go anywhere as well, the 3 guys complained to them, but were just ignored/abused, they left it alone to avoid trouble.

A steward eventually came over and checked their tickets and moved them, as it was obvious 8 doesn't go into 3.

The steward got loads of unwarranted abuse by one idiot, who took the opinion that he had a season ticket and that entitled him to sit anywhere he wanted (even though his ticket was way at the back).

His argument was that it was a football match and this is what happens at them, which was a interesting concept to me.

This guy rather hilariously was on the stadium screen singing at half time for that useless radio station guy and he then had a pop about been moved by the steward.

F*ckwit of the 1st order

Yeh that was the problem in the second half, every time a chant started the back of the YF zone stated another round of phoenix - In fact one time I heard 3 different chants going at the same time.

Was that with or without the greeks?

C'mon lads [& lasses] get your act together. By coordinating say ONLY two different chants, the rest of the stadium, [and hopefully NZ] will by default take up the "chant" similar to that great year 1966, when England won the World cup - even Alf Garnet ['til death do us part] got in behind!!

I'll think you'll find 1967 was a more auspicious year - specifically 11th April that year - Scotland 3 England 2 at Wembley!!!

...any chance of getting the turf back???

The stewards are keen to say the least ,i saw one stop two guys who were drinking heinikens at the beginning  of the concourse and made them bin them ,im sure the guys would have drained the bottles well before they reached the stadium entrance 3 kilometers later ! it  seems some of the flouros fantasize  about being at APEC or something !
Anyway i ate my bag of oranges right in front of them ,every one injected with blue label vodka of course!(don't try that at home kids)
Kiwi Jambo2007-09-10 15:57:01

 there was plenty of chanting second half where were you ??
i have no voice left 

"Theres only one Russell Cotton, Theres only One Russell Cotton"

Thank god for that!!
