Away support today

[Opinionated]

I was the one thrown out, I'll admit it was out of order but the steward who got escorted out pushed me so I pushed him back end of. Been totally blown out of proportion.

Fair enough. You didn't do anything wrong you were only standing your ground.

At the end of the day really I shouldn't have pushed him back though - Was bit out of order really.

[Morectalk]

Fair play, you should not have pushed the steward, but why were they bothering trying to get the fans to sit down with 10 minutes of the match left? Completely out of order and not needed. There were only 218 Morecambe fans there, yet we seemed to have more stewards than the rest of the ground put together.

And ANOTHER different attempt at spelling Morecambe as well ! ! !

Thats the best one i've seen yet!

[mrpotatohead]

so, our man admits being out of order, and you are telling him he is wrong

[RedRedWine1]

I'm usually quite critical of the minor skirmishes and silly incidents that have seen the odd (and it usually is the odd both in number of times this happens in a season and the mentality of the individuals who are ejected) that get thrown out of Morecambe games on the road. I just don't see the need for it; it belies rational thought and application on most occasions.

However, yesterday it was completely different. The Bradford stewards were instigating the problems that happened by the way they were handling the situation. They caused more trouble and safety issues by steaming in and pushing past people in order to confiscate a drum that they had initially let into the ground in the first place. It just goes to show how good the stewards are at our club, when they can safely marshal 1,500 Bradford away fans yet Bradford struggle to control around 50ish out of 200 from Morecambe. I'm still bemused at what is so offensive about a drum anyway?

Great support from the fans yesterday, certainly felt and sounded that there was many more than 218 of us there. Hopefully improved form on the road will see our travelling numbers swell, you can tell by way that the players came across to the fans at the end of the game they certainly appreciate our presence there.

I couldn't be there yesturday, sounds like the stewards at other clubs bottled it again. I was at Notts County last season, which was an absolute joke. Glad to hear we made lot's of noise, onwards and upwards

[Gnasher]

Notts County wasn't a joke, unless you got caught. The way they sin-binned persistent offenders was brilliant.

[Morectalk]

Redredwine, good point made, and here is what it meant to Barry & Jimbo.

[shrimper]

I was in the press box over the other side (you can see it in this photo) and we could hear the Morecambe fans loud and clear throughout the game - great support!

Baz really punched the air didn't he, I am just glad I wasn't on the end of it

Not sure about our support at the Southend game as it was the only game missed for me this season, but I felt the passion returned during the Bury game. Something clicked into place during that game, both on the terraces and on the field.

Yesterday both players and fans gave it 100%, and it felt very, very, VERY GOOD

I think you'll find it was, hence why the steward got sacked after all the complaints!

I am very confused. Who was 'sin-binned'

As Crooky has already said, the steward was sacked over the matter and there is alsoa thread on the Notts County forum regarding the matter if you would like to see it.

[Gnasher]

I'm sorry you're easily confused Sammy and no, I don't particularly want to read yet another thread on the subject. As for who was sin-binned, no, I can't name them as I don't know them.

Not easily confused at all Gnasher. I think i have every right to be confused. It was me that was thrown out at Notts County. When it happened it was discussed a lot on here, most if not all fans on both forums backed me up on the matter so I wouldn't mind knowing your opinion on the situation?

As the steward got sacked for the offence it makes you look rather silly, not for thr first time may I add.

[Gnasher]

Sorry Sammy, you are obviously very confused. Where did I say anything about someone getting thrown out? Perhaps next time reel your neck in and read the full post before launching another one of your venomous personal attacks.

You mentioned Notts county and stewards so I presume you meant last year. It appears I got the wrong end of the stick and I apologise.

You think that's venemous you haven't seen anything yet


So I will ask again, would you care to elaborate?

[Gnasher]

Not being picky but you weren't kicked out of Notts County last year, nor were the sin-bins used against Morecambe last year. In fact Morecambe didn't play Notts County away last year.

What they did was anyone being an idiot/nuisance/looking to cause trouble were taken under the stands out of sight of the match for about 10 mins then let back into the stand. One serial offender spent the latter part of the match on his own with his own steward. Brilliant idea.

Where have Peter's comments gone?

Damn, I missed them. Shame, he usually has something extremely enlightening to say being the jolly nice character that he is.

deleted then?

My apologies, i was referring to Notts County this year, but last season. Very picky.

[Gnasher]

deleted then?

Not at my request!
