If i hear that next game im getting a steward involved, it’s unreal to have this going on.
I saw the manager interacting with those behind them, makes you wonder why they bother sometimes.
I guess he must have been just a tiny bit racist if you felt it was not worth confronting or reporting him this time .
Stewards are there to do a job and the ones I have spoken to have been fairly proactive when encouraged to be so .We had someone vaping during the games . I asked him to stop and he more or less completely ignored me . I asked a steward why he chose to ignore someone vaping and he did have a word .next 3 or 4 games this bloke would vape until the steward asked him to stop at which point he would acknowledge the steward , gesture an apology and stop vaping . I informed the steward that I intended to ask the club regarding the policy for vaping during games . The steward assured me that it would not happen again. To the steward’s credit the problem has now been resolved.
There are announcements before every game regarding reporting abuse if you hear it . If you are not confident enough to confront someone, and let’s be honest we do have some cretins going to games, report it to a steward and ask him for feedback. If you feel that strongly about it then don’t let the issue drop
The racist comment was at the end rather than during the game, and was halfway in between clapping the players off and trying to locate him while walking down - but also the stewards disappear at full time which makes it equally challenging.
I shall be listening in next home game, believe me.
