    Shirt or No Shirt, Millers v Reading Yesterday / Catering Yesterday

    Quite a few supporters took their shirts off at yesterday's game, stewards behind the north stand
    came round telling people to put their shirts back on, I had my shirt off, a steward came to me &
    said put your shirt.
    I replied show the rules where I am not allowed to take off my shirt, then I will put it back on, adding
    if you remove me from the stadium, I will be straight on to EFL safety inspector of grounds.
    [I have dealt with the EFL safety officer in the past, after a Millers game at Burton Albion].
    Anyway the steward went away, like the other stewards talking to supporters, with some supporters
    carrying on with shirts removed.
    No reason was given by the stewards to supporters putting back on their shirts.

    Catering - Went for a couple of small bottles of water to kiosk, charged £5 for the 2 bottles, when I
    got back to my seat in the stand, we opened bottles of water to find the water was warm, so took them
    back, jumping the queue with other supporters permission, told them I wasn't paying for warm water, so
    they gave me my £5 back.
    Took note they were putting fresh bottles of water into the cooler, then taking them out straight away to
    sell to supporters.

    ELK they have no right at all to tell you to put your shirt back on. Who thought of this pathetic clause?

    Someone at the club needs to explain the ‘woke’ rule for this.

    Now I know what my Mum and Dad were on about when they used the phrase "cantankerous old git"

    Who wants to look at topless old men when they are out for a day's football?

    I went through the west stand turnstiles with a litre of water in my hand yesterday that I’d just bought from the petrol station at masborough.
    I think they were just using a bit of common sense because of the heat.

    Eric.. do you think a contributory factor in the stewards' response may have been that you also took your trousers off?
