Fight on the Kop (vs preston)

Appalling to read. There really should be a way of stopping this sort of happening especially when kids witness it. Maybe I've dreamt this but aren't there 'special' stewards who are there specifically for stepping in when something like this happens?

They should not be fighting but playing devils advocate do the stewards get paid to stop fights? Is not a police matter? I know this is poking the hornets nest on a wider scale but I don’t know the answer

Is that when the 4 stewards ran along the front of the North stand? Maybe they were the tactical response team.

Sorry. Front of the south stand.

Anyone having a go at someone with kids leaving early is a full weight pillock. As any parent knows going home early from almost anything is a likely scenario, especially so when it’s cold and weeing it down

I saw them wondered what that was all about.

This sounds a simply WTF situation 

People that punch other fans at matches seem to have major behavioural issues 

Was it a Fight, or was it a Feyt ?

World of difference 

or even worse, a Fete

An awful thing to see, and despite the crowd calling the stewards repeatedly, they did nothing. One actively turned away instead of intervening. 

Not surprised. A lot of the stewards are as much use as a chocolate fire guard.

One of the fellas was with his young son and daughter too, the latter of which was crying her eyes out. 

 

I don't know what kicked it off, but fighting amongst ourselves is ridiculous, especially as we should all be moving in the same direction now we have our club back.

 

I hope the club address the stewarding as it was unacceptable to watch a man get punched repeatedly with, no efforts to stop it.

Are the stewards trained to deal with violent altercations?

I assume most stewards are on minimum wage with the most basic of training ?

Seems to be a lots of this happening a lately. Is it drink or coke?

Stewards aren't paid to break up fights. They'll be told to monitor and report
