I received an email from the Chairman of the Iron Trust which he gave me permission to put on Iron Bru Site
The stewarding at Scunthorpe United FC has been a cause of concern for the Iron Trust in recent weeks.
I have asked Humberside Police to look into the incident of the ‘cuffing’ which I did witness from the west stand to ensure no laws have been broken by the steward.
I have also asked them to look into the stewarding in general and the disparity between how home and away supporters are treated.
John Needham has discussed this issue with Paul Hurrell and is due to meet Phil Jacklin Head of security at Scunthorpe United on the matter.
We are particularly concerned about those stewards giving the appearance of riot police.The ‘ I ‘ mentioned is Tony the Chairman of the Trust.

Restrain them and escort them from the ground safely like has been done the previous 33 years here or at every other stadium in the u.k ever

Topics: 11What’s safer? Restraining them without handcuffs so they can still struggle and potentially cause themselves/someone else an injury or a trained member of their team handcuffing them and reducing the risk of further issues?

Topics: 11You really think that in this day and age? These members of staff have to deal with all sorts of people in their profession and I imagine top of their agenda is safety first.
There has been various articles about sections of fans high on coke/alcohol around the country so I can 100% understand why they take this course of action.
If it was a normal steward I would agree with you but they should be backed up by the police incase a situation arises.
March 28, 2022 at 7:40 pm #234477high on alcohol, ffs how did you get here from Victorian England?

March 28, 2022 at 7:46 pm #234481UTI99, don’t you ever agree with the supporters, you agree with everything the Chairman does whether right or wrong and now you are agreeing with this, something I have never seen at a football ground before, from where I sit near the reporters and Radio Humberside the lad was manhandled over the wall and pushed to the ground, and we didn’t know whether they were handcuffs or tie wraps, no idea what the lad had done but it was completely over the top.
When I left the ground a bloke possibly in his 50s with a young lad with him was raging saying he hadn’t seen nothing like that in 40 years watching the Iron.5 users thanked author for this post.

The fan JUMPED over the wall, if he had behaved himself he wouldn’t have got handcuffed. He chose to confront the security team and was dealt with professionally.
They didn’t just drag some random fan out of the crowd and cuff him.
March 28, 2022 at 8:04 pm #234484Chairman is still responsible.

March 28, 2022 at 8:23 pm #234485Even if you ignore the handcuffs debacle, the attitude of stewards has been unacceptable for weeks.
As soon as they decided they should stand in amongst the fans in the DRE stand I knew there would be trouble.
It’s even got as petty as them threatening to chuck people out for having half a foot on the yellow painted steps, something that everyone has been doing for 25+ years with no issues.

Yep correct, the buck finally stops with the man running the whole show, UTI doesn’t want his Dad to accept responsibility. Wonder who taught him that when he was growing up?

From the video evidence this was a half-cut chav, not Tyson Fury!
I wonder what said “security” would do in Newcastle’s Bigg Market on a Friday night!
March 28, 2022 at 10:53 pm #234500This using of handcuffs by stewards and their hostile behaviour towards home supporters has now been brought to the forefront on Radio Humberside. It should be brought to the attention of the national press and published to show what is happening at our beloved Scunthorpe United FC. The SWANNS show total disdain for our supporters. JUST WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE.

The actions of any employee or contactor appointed by the club have everything to do with the Chairman, the buck stops with him end off.

I’ll ask again as you didn’t answer last time I asked, why didn’t the Rochdale fans that jumped the wall and got in our players faces not receive the same treatment from the cowards prancing around in Hi-Vis?

Having been in the situation where the shit hits the fan professionally I can tell you the courts go for “ the controlling mind” and that is the person at the top of the pile ( oh and what a pile it is right now ).
March 29, 2022 at 1:58 pm #234553Apologies for going off piste, but did you think Will Smith actually connected with Chris Rocks face, very John wayneish Imo.
