The Goon Squad

[LE18]

I have no idea what the trouble was on the Crumbie as I saw none of it. However most of the Tiger's stewards have been with us for a long time and are very good, there are a few new people and they are probably regular at Leicester City and other football grounds and are not yet familiar with the more relaxed firm but fair attitude at a rugby venue. When there is trouble it is not surprising if there is a hardening of attitude. Any one who feels they have a genuine complaint should email the club, or if they like pm me and I will raise it with the relevant people on their behalf and at the next forum meeting which of course will be an open forum.

John its getting very sad when Police have to come onto the Crumbie stand, when can you remember that happening previously?

I think Police were called to the Welford Rd end of the Crumbie stand on Sunday! Something very noisy going on at that end!

According to the unoffy it was some individuals urinating in beer containers. How delightful

Could have been worse? In 1975 at Cardiff Arms park someone tried to pee in my trouser pocket!!

As I said I don't know what the problem was on Sunday I suspect that it had something to do with the late kick off time and people being in the pub from lunch time. I do remember police being on the Crumbie Terrace in the past when Dean Richards, Steve Johnson, Nick Joyce, John Wells etc were making their way to and from the pitch. The only other time was around 1970 when the Springboks were over and there were anti-apartheid demonstrations, I was one of the local rugby players recruited to steward that game and we were each given a policeman to look after.

I can remember the local bobby popping in to the Members Stand for a quick half-time nip of sloe gin back in the mid 60's!

This was a regular event in the 70's at the Taff end of Arms Park as they sort out English supporters with short arms and deep pockets looking cold.

Careful there, you're only allowed to talk about the past if you put on a pair of rose tinted glasses. Everthing was better in the past.
