Joan the Steward!!

Post by sussexdiamond »

I know we all "love" Joan (Mrs Stagman) for the way she helps us to part with our money, but today we saw a side of her that really impressed, and to be honest put a lot of men to shame.

The way she handled the gentleman who had had a bit too much to drink was amazing!!

When I saw her approach the situation I half expected her to deliver a" Glasgow kiss" but no she gave them a stern lecture and calmed the situation admirably.

Well Done Joan!!

The lad involved used to come to Nene Park but has moved way to Kings Lynn, but unfortunately had a lot to drink before he even got to the ground.so i would imagine we will probably not see him again

He's registered on this forum and used to contribute a few years ago although hasn't so much as logged in since April 2012.

They're NOT welcome if they're going to behave that way on more than 1 occasion. Our volunteer stewards do not need that kind of situation to deal with. We're a family, community club and that kind of behaviour (especially outside the ground afterwards) can be very intimidating & scary, especially to children.

Well done to Joan who did her best to diffuse the situation, I agree that volunteers should not have to deal with that kind of behaviour! I know us singers come in for some criticism on occasions but I like to think we know where to draw the line (most of the time :oops: ) His behaviour was condemned by us lot and I personally hope that he never attends a game ever again. It's a good job that the stewards got it under control as I think there were a few people ready to 'deal' with him.

your right robin :D I was just saying that ,to diffuse the situation,i didn't want it to become like it did with the "singers"
they actually sat(and tried to sing :lol: )in the chairmans area in the peter ebdon stand,im surprised the welly chairman/vice chairm didn't say anything :shock:
