Big queue in (and out) the shop after the game and a person who obviously had special needs was cheerfully marshalling the queue , he had already thrown me out for eating a pie  as the queue moved forward over the imaginary line in to the shop. However once I had bought my ticket as I was leaving the shop there was another “man” giving the poor lad loads of abuse - Made me feel sick, that someone should pick on the vulnerable in that way. Whoever you were I hope you are proud of yourself and I hope you felt good in front of any mates you may have. I am just a bit surprised that I was the only one to speak up for the poor Marshall. |

That steward is there in the shop every game, he always has a smile on his face and will talk to anyone(and everyone....lol) If I would have seen it I would have had a word!!!! |

Yeah he’s a really lovely lad and does a great job - as do all the match day staff across all areas. Sadly all clubs have idiots in their fan base and today one of them showed up at the Mem. Glad this has been mentioned and people are aware, it’s right to challenge this. I’m sure he’s able to look after himself but I hope he’s ok, the who acted like a dick today should have a word with himself.

Crikey- how can you not like the lad - really friendly and typifies the club. Always enjoy a chat with him when I go the shop on a matchday. Some people should be ashamed of themselves.

There is the problem. This type of has no idea about social norms, unselfishness or how to behave. As for shame, forget it.......

To be honest a lot of the staff at the mem get a lot of unnecessary sh**. I actually find them all pretty amicable and genuinely appreciate the work they do....

Visited the shop before the game yesterday to purchase my season ticket.
The queue at 1330 was just outside the shop. Only a ten minute wait, a minute at the counter, job done!
The young man in question was ensuring people not in the queue could enter the shop immediately to buy other items. He was very friendly and not afraid to talk too and welcome everybody.
The point of my post was that he was doing a bloody good job and I for one welcome the fact that our great club involve all of society not just the chosen few.
Whoever abused him later that day is obviously a very misguided individual and should be ashamed of himself.
If he reads this and is a true gashead, get yourself back to the shop this coming Saturday and apologise to the young man!
UTG!

I can only add to the praise for this valued member of the clubs staff. Before the game when the shop was full he was doing a superb job and making everybody welcome and in particular an American lady and her daughter who he made most welcome and represented our club the way it should be. unfortunately there is always someone wqho feels they are more important than anyone else and all I would say is that if you are going to go to the shop after the game then you should EXPECT to have a wait. I would suggest the person in question either gets there a bit earliar or learns a little respect.

What did the guy causing all the offensive do ? Arguing with the steward, using the f word in his direction and being a general gobshite to the point where the poor lad didn’t know what to say or do. |

Symptomatic of society today sadly - intolerant loud mouth bullies get away with it because the law abiding decent majority are too scared that getting involved might result in them becoming the victim too.

What if the so called '' is special needs too ? What does that make everyone who has called him a '' ? Tricky indeed.
This might be best left alone until we find out the facts.
