Stewarding this season
|
Hi guys,
I wanted to put this in the main thread where the discussion is about the stewarding yesterday versus Man Utd but I fear this may have got lost in the replies and I would really appreciate some help.
I have seen the video from block 113 & this was the exact treatment that I was subjected to before the Burnley game. BEFORE!
I didn't even make it to my seat for kick off as I questioned why I would need to show my ticket to one of the bully boys after already being searched at the turnstiles.
They threw me out before the game even kicked off because of this, no violence from myself, not even bad language. It was when they got me to the exits that they were talking about getting my ticket off me (which was in my pocket) so I started to struggle as they have no right to do that. This was when they took me outside, put me face down on the floor, broke my watch in the meantime and also, one of the idiots put his foot on my head.
I spent from 20:45 until 02:00 in a cell in Forest Gate police station because of all this.
Now what did I do to deserve it? Nothing, they're just on a power trip.
What I did see when I was brought back up from the floor, was two people videoing the event on their phones! I asked them straight away to put the clips online as I know I can use them for a compensation claim & a complaint, but I'm yet to find either.
I didn't want to pop this on here, but I'm hoping that there's at least one of you good people out there who will be able to help?
Thank you.

Request CCTV footage of everything that happened.
And it's not compensation you need, it's justice.

I've been wondering if there even is CCTV in this place!
Justice of course, but I want compensation for my ticket which I've still not got back & won't have for another couple of weeks.

I can't help, but I feel I have to at least say something like FUCKING HELL!
This has actually pissed me off more than Mike Dean managed, seriously. Dodgy decsions are part of the game I learned to live with years ago, but this story is a whole new bowl of shit I'm expected to get down my neck.
Unpalatable shit that has to stop.

Ah, gotcha - that's fair enough.
They have VERY good CCTV, so you'd hope it's available.

Knowles,
Unfortunately I can't help but I hope someone can.
Now is the time to fight back and this may just be the incident we need to do so.
Make no mistake, the soul of our club is at stake here.

I think people should be able to request footage of themselves under the data protection act. I dunno if they can but they should be able to

If what you say is accurate then they've committed criminal offences surely?

If you need access to footage you will probably need the Police to request it. The data protection act means that it's protected, even from people that might be part of the footage, unless requested by Police or perhaps a Lawyer.

Fifth, yes they have. I walked away from the guy asking for my ticket and was heading towards an exit when they grabbed and shoved me against a wall originally. So yeah, I'd say that's assault?!
Trevor, I'll get in touch with the station as I have to go back soon anyway. Thanks!

Am i right in my thinking that tickets issued are the property of West Ham United therefore LS stewards have no right to take it from people?

BKnowkles21 - Have you got your story to Gold & the Sullivan kids via Twitter - if you are confident of your position you should get this shit going viral. It's fucking outrageous (they're not at fucking Hollywoods in the 80's) and this exactly the type of negative press they don't want.
