Can I just thank the bunch of coke heads from block 27 for ruining what was already a crap day!!
Me and my mate were subjected to some idiot kicking off over a difference of opinion on the travel of SCFC, it ended with my friend a season ticket of long standing having his glasses trampled and shaken by a group who apparently "commiserating" on the loss of a friend some 10 or 12 years ago. F ing well done lads youve really celebrated his memory.
Its actually not all their fault, I know there were issues with the group vaping, standing etc, in block 27 as I was talking to a club steward before half time, who was told about their antics. So what do our "security" staff do? Let them carry on!!!, Which we walked straight into. After the altercation, my friend a bit shaken, went to get some air outside, being told if he went out he couldnt come back in, not that he'd have wanted to. I go out to him and speak to the Police who were aware of the "gathering", and the club did NOTHING!!!. It was interesting that while talking to said officers TWO vans of Police officers turned up, they clearly knew there was an issue brewing.
The majority of the group could have been turned away, they were so obviously on something, but the "security" staff did nothing, didnt stay in their vicinity, NOTHING. And we suffered the consequences. We will be contacting the club first thing Monday, paid security are there to protect, they and the idiots today have let the club down, at a time when its already in a dreadful situation.

The stewards are useless. I have approached them during a game about anti social behaviour upsetting a child, their response ....... nothing! Contact Anthony Emmerson at the club. He was brilliant when sorting out my issue. The club will know who the culprits are if you can give seat numbers. Anthony.Emmerson@stokecityfc.com |

I’m block 29 it wasn’t me I wasn’t even there. I did wonder why people are always wanting to get up to go to the bogs. I’ve not been to the bogs at the ground for years. Always though the best policy was try not to breath in there never mind sniff. |

Goes on openly around 36/37/38 in the toilets abd the concourse seen them sniffing straight of their hands wrists whatever, stewards while i understand are on minimum wage are only good at stopping you getting to your seat or checking cards etc.

It’s not an excuse Fair comment but there’s a difference between being a visible “presence” to help folk get to the right seats and advise when minor crowd control issues arise and taking on a drugged up lethal mob of lads who would probably relish a scrap…..maybe we need a militia ! |

I'm Block 29 as well and there was a group of lads who kept banging on about fighting and arrests who I've never seen down there so wouldn't surprise me if they were on the sniff. They didn't cause me any bother mind you so they can crack on 😂 |

Went a Man City game the other week and the amount of people smoking in the bogs was like being at an away game when they don’t let you outside. Crazy |

Minimum wage or not, that's the job they're paid to fucking do. If these lazy cunts don't like it, then they ought to be fucked off and and the job given to someone else who will do the job. I don't get that much above minimum myself and I have to deal with some proper nasty and grim shit on a daily basis, but I just get on with it because thats the job I'm paid to do. |

Fair comment mate - I have to agree that some of the stewards I have seen in action over the years have been pretty clueless or obviously only making up numbers but having a once a fortnight 5 or 6 hour gig isn’t gonna attract conscientious, career minded incumbents like yourself I am guessing …… there should be more active oversight from experienced full timers on the payroll and accountability……. |

Is that the job they're paid to do? They're stewards not security, clearly they told the police and the police, those with actual training for such things, did nothing. |

On one of the most miserable days of supporting Stoke City I can recall this has to be the most miserable , saddest of threads I could imagine. I can hardly believe the original description of the fans experience or the comments that follow. Behaviour that was once abhorrent seems to be normalised.

Cocaine use / abuse is as lethal as any hard drug that destroys lives and families…..those treating it as a “party” or “recreational” substance are seriously mistaken and at risk of ruination……. |

Coked up idiots are a real issue.
Post Covid dickhead behaviour without consequence has been all the rage.
People follow the examples set from the top.
England is a truly abhorrent place these days.
The club will no doubt not give a shot about the shocking experience of the Op.
