It appeared to be about over officious stewarding again , before the game kicked off a certain steward ( who not for the first time ) removed a lad who was sitting with his mate , because it was not his seat , when the lad tried to explain that he was aware of that but his friend who's seat it was could not attend today , the steward ignored those protestations and moved him anyway , then at the start of a the second half the same steward , removed somebody else from their seat , this warranted a chorus of get a better job etc etc from the back row , the rest of the yellow bibs took offence to this , and moved to eject a couple of the antagonists , one of the guys who was ejected , was not part of the jeering , but he was trying to defend the supposed offenders.
IMO this was caused by a certain steward who likes to shall we say be over zealous in his implementation of the regulations .
. I don't condone abuse of the stewards , but they certainly don't help their own cause when they rule with a heavy hand when its not even neccessary ( by the way where the young lad moved on at the start of the game , the seat he was occupying , remained empty .)
PS , I was right next to it so my account is accurate and without bias.

Sadly I have to say that exmu000's observations are entirely accurate. I was stood just a few feet away and witnessed all the events that he listed. While not wishing to overly criticise the stewarding in general, this particular steward was over zealous to the point of being vindictive.
He is known for it. WTF is he still working at HP. I complained about him before to the club and asked them to look at the CCTV for evidence. Nothing came of it.
If the club are doing nothing what can the fans do because he will just pick you out as you walk in.
I would love to turn on him but I like my football too much for him to get any satisfaction :banghead:
FFS Argyle sort this idiot out

An argyle steward lacking in common sense? Never, nothing to see here. Letās be honest common sense isnāt all that common anymore, especially when argyle employees are involved, unfortunately. Ive noticed one dude with long black hair that hovers around the sh1ters in the devonport end all game biting his nails, he wears a high vis jacket so I guess heās a āstewardā. Not sure what heās achieving to be honest. Iāve done the SIA course, itās gash, any muppet could do it, so itās hardly surprising the standard of steward is so low, always has been always will be, with the odd exception.
If someone at the Club could just tell me:
'Why would you remove anyone (with a ticket) from any seat that was not being used for that game?
Why would you pursue a 'complaint' in the absence of a complainant?
If no-one has complained that his/her seat is occupied by A.N.Other, why would a steward get involved and provoke an incident/reaction when there is no real 'incident'?? :think:

Seems really petty, although stewards have a difficult job at times. Itās gone on since time immemorial when grounds arenāt full. Move to a better seat than the one youāve been dealt by lottery if youāre not a season ticket holder. I thought all that hassle with the stewards which started at the beginning of the season, had faded away until yesterday.

Yes - a victimless crime.
Reminds me of a few of the "security" guys at bar entrances. Seen one, who had nothing to do, giving some verbal abuse to passing stray dog. Why? Because his job gave him "authority" and he wanted to use it. Dog relocated quietly.
Canāt understand why/who drew a stewardās attention to someone who was sitting in a different seat.exmu000":1i5t9zd6 said:
Long may the mutual admiration society between the supporters and the stewards in the grandstand remain,
However in block 3, we are shall we say not afforded the same level of respect , not surprising though as obviously the majority of us are presumed to be racist chanters and flare throwers .
Sarcasm aside this is not an attack on the stewards as a whole , but there is undoubted friction caused by the heavy handed approach of certain yellow jackets.
Maybe the contributor who stated that we may be forced to sit in our assigned seats in order to best keep an eye on us has a point , a point I had not considered .
But this feud has simmered from the start of the season with the attempts to make us all sit down , and irrespective of your views on that , certain stewards if they had better communication skills could quell the flames and not inflate it.

So, why was the lad who sat in the wrong seat ātargetedā?
Whether I was in the Grandstand, Lyndhurst or Devonport End, I wouldnāt expect anyone to take any notice unless the normal user wanted to sit there.
Was there another reason why the steward got involved?
