of course but she's a lady isn't she I know the stewards dont frighten you and they certainly dont frighten me because I regard them like my owd chap used to say as toffee bobbies ,but she may be of a nervous disposition and it should not have happened

Well a letter to the LSV is reqd then and not to take it out on the club she loves so much, as that is a silly option and only hurts the club when its not really their fault.

Eh Peawapp ,i could be a little old lady for all you know

you may very well be but I somehow doubt it

Well not getting my pension just yet but my teenage years have well and truly gone i'm afraid

maybe someone should write to the journal saying if she really loved her club she would be back next year. Matt nailed it on the head.....they have developed very good flag folding skills

Agree with the above about the north stand stewards, they seem like a good bunch, cannot comment on other parts of the ground as i have not been in them.

Its taken a while for the letter to reach the paper. Did she approach LSV or the club first?

I am a supporter of 57 years standing and have also been the target of the Gestapo posing as stewards at LSV. I took the trouble to complain in person to our Chief Executive and was told that he would pass on my concens to the LSV management. Clearly however this had little or no effect. It really is about time that the Leigh RLFC management sorted this out with LSV management and stopped relying on the "nothing to do with us" excuse

Out of interest, what were the problems that you had with the stewards and how recently did it happen?

It was at at the "friendly" against Wigan. I was literally assaulted (a policeman asked me if I wished to make a formal complaint against the steward in question but as he(the steward) was very indimidating I felt that discretion was the better better part of valour!). Let me also say that the steward in question was backed up to to hilt by the head steward and other stewards none of which had in fact witnessed the incident in question. There are undoubtedly SOME very good stewards at LSV but there are also a number who are frankly a disgrace and the club needs to ensure that they are rooted out. I however live in hope rather than expectation.

Does she go to away matches ?

why, they have no control over the stewards, its for the LSV management to do the apologising. As i see it all the club can do is bring the LSV to book for THEIR staff allegedly abusing one if the clubs long time supporters.

Other than that i don't think there owt else they can do.

Wrong.....all forms of cameras aint allowed according to the stewards in the west stand, last season a group of teenage girls from another club were taking pics of each other near to were I was sat and were not doin owt wrong - 1 of the jobs worth stewards come over and told em to stop as it wasnt allowed inside the stadium for health and safety reasons, also that they LSV didnt allow it in case people take pics of kids.

Its about time that this stupid rule was stopped.

yes the stewards are okay except when they are really needed like when we played halifax and then they were nowhere to be seen

SILLY REPORTER. THE LETTERS Page, never have letters on LEIGH CENTURIONS.
NOW THERE'S 3.
1) female fan being assaulted by steward (weeks after it happened)
2) Leigh not ready for Super League
3) then one about marketing, and saying how we need to improve the team (fair enough, EVERY team can do with improvements)

Does no-one ever send nice letters about Leigh RLFC, YES, but that's not interesting.

A fax fan.........

I can't argue with you on that one.

She pays her money to Leigh and its Leighs responsibility to ensure he has a safe and enjoyable time. Its upto Leigh to challenge the management company as they have paid them for their services.

If she wants to stand she should go in the North Stand!! The seats are there for a reason. Sit down, watch the game and stop trying to find a reason to have a dig at the club. We play in a modern stadium that has health and safety rules. Every other "new" stadium is the same get over it or push off, the team and club doesn't need or want all this negativity.

The steward has created the negativity, something Leigh should address, you are right the fans who have any little gripe should push off. I stood up all game alst week at old trafford and was never asked once to sit down.

They are ways to talk to people to address issues and the woman is airing her feelings as she feels she was verbally abused. How is the view from your high horse anyway?

no, the stewards are in the employ of the people that Leigh RENT the ground from, Leigh have no control over the stewards, infact its the other way around, trust me

Leigh rent the ground and the stewards are part of that package. The lady pays her money to Leigh so it is Leighs responsibility.

We have had issues at Wigan this year and has been fed back to the CEO (when he was there) and he fed it back to the stadium company.

The club takes the entrance money from the customers therefore it is the club's responsibility to respond to and sort any complaints.

I am in the employ of the LSV NOT Leigh Centurions, any stewarding issues are nothing to do with Leigh RLC, All they can do is pass it on.
It is the LSV this disgruntled female should approach.
She is using it as an excuse to band wagon jump to another club.
