Title: Bufc Steward at Townend!
Post by: TransitVan_ on September 22, 2009, 11:03:46 PM
Does anyone know why you not allowed to take any videos or pictures at the match anymore ???
Because i was filming the corner kick on my phone, and the steward came up to me and told me off and said that you are not allowed to take any pictures or videos :-\ Does anyone know why?

Just look at some of our stewards, you can understand why at times we get slaughtered verbally, no idea they would rather talk to their girlfreinds and each other and why do we need four stewards at the townend staring at the home fans, doesnt stack up a little like their IQ levels.

Jand why do we need four stewards at the townend staring at the home fans, doesnt stack up a little like their IQ levels.

May I respectfully suggest that some of the language employed on the Townend last night would have seen people arrested if the same level of volume was emitted in the street?

'S@@t Ref, we've got another s@@t ref'
'Worst fcu@@@g ref we've ever seen'
'The referees a W@nker'

Remember BUFC do several promotions to try and tempt families and kids to the games, how many are going to come back when they hear 200 or so people screaming that at the top of their lungs?

The support off there last night was exceptional, no ground could have generated a better atmosphere with barely 1000 in attendance but the self appointed leaders would do well to consider what they shout and who is in close proximity, The Chestnuts want to portray us as a community club.......I wouldn't want to be part of any community where such language is bellowed out in front of impressionable kids.

And before anyone starts, yes, I've been as bad as anyone in my day but times move on for some.

TBH i dont think we are really that bad compared to some other clubs.

And anyway bad language is always gonna be around at football matches so nobody should be taking their kids there if theyre too young.

So, no photography. Sorry Ken, looks like you'll have to watch the game with your own eyes and not through the lense of your camera. There are clearly some rules that the crowd need telling about.
Why are the tops removed from soft drink bottles. Surely when we buy a drink we become legal owners of the bottle and its contents therefor you are damaging private property, a criminal offence I am sure. and it's no good saying that removing the top is a condition of being sold a bottle because it just wont hold water (sorry).
Why no photography when clearly a lot of people do. You only have to watch Wembley game to see hundreds of camera flashes.
Cookie, you read this forum. How about some notices on the way in outlining dos and donts. How about putting something on this forum. If there are good or legal reasons then fare enough. Or why not keep everything secret, just like the Evans days. Perhaps we are just a bunch of mushrooms.

It is a fact that the townenders are usually the ones to 'charge' the atmosphere first. But have you also noticed how quiet the ground is until something comes along and winds everybody up. The other night there were 4 things that created that atmosphere. 1  The useless pratt in fancy dress.  2  Retford trying to cripple our lads.  3  The dugout incident.  4  The way our lads upped the tempo and played much better in the second half.
Normally the ground is quiet until something extraordinary sparks it into life.

No, as your eyes are in effect biological cameras that record images onto your retina and are stored in your brain as memories everyone must now keep their eyes tightly shut throughout the duration of the game.  ;D

Fortunately the club fix me up with a photographer's pass for any games I go to and in return they get the photos for the match programme and the official site.

There's never been any objection to fans taking photos with little cameras or their mobile phones - it's people like me with a grands worth of photographic  equipment round their neck that they object to as they think we are taking quality pictures and making money out of it selling the pictures to the press. It sounds as if there is a steward who is getting a bit over zealous.

Keep snapping Ken, you take great photos and keep things going. Nothing but praise for you. As for me getting the noise going, well I know for sure that where I sit it wouldn't do the slightest bit of good. In fact I'd probably get certified or evicted for being drunk. The townenders are the ones who get things going and good on em for that. Anyway bostonfandanny, what you getting at me for after all I stood by you on here last week.

Good would certainly help with the "Community Club" tag as well if a few more "international" supporters came along

Don't you just love it when somebody shakes your pram. Firstly I don't moan all the time. Just ask my dog. Secondly, about bad language. It is not alright to swear out loud just because it's a football ground. We all let out the odd expletive in the heat of the moment. Academics call swearing the lack of ability to articulate but what do they know. A lot of people find it offensive and it's rubbish and pathetic to say if you don't like the language stay away. A lot of people who find bad language offensive like going to football matches. You may as well say if you want to swear out loud you should stay at home and do it. Sometimes we have to take the rough with the smooth. The problem with this country is we let a small minority dictate the standards by which everyone should live.
As for the atmosphere, I would love to stand with the townenders but all that drumming would give me a headache and I'm too much of an old fart to stand that long
Keep it going townenders, your club needs you. I bet there are a lot of clubs, not just non league, who would love supporters like you. Back into my pram now. Goodnight
