I find it interesting how (quite rightly) homophobic abuse is unacceptable where as regionalism is acceptable - been reading all week about flat claps, whippets and how dirty northerners are
That Apparent Assault By Stewards On The Would-Be Pitch Invader At The Final Whistle

True colours coming through then.
Bloody northerners always something new to have a moan about. No one forces you to be here.

Cannot beat a good moan
Then you're in the right place.
So when a Wednesday player gets stabbed by an opposing fan who evades the security staff they won't mind I guess?Why not? It's common decency to try and intervene at some young kid being given a kicking in front of your eyes. Wednesday players were already turned around to applaud their travelling support, they could hardly pretend it wasn't happening, even if they'd wanted to. Fair play to them

I do really feel at home on here, especially after reading about your first game of the season, would have thought you could be relegated for losing the first game the way some go on!
Stick that steward in an IDF uniform and stick a Palestinian kid under his boot and THPP would be singing a completely different tune. Pathetic really. Clearly lacking a moral compass.

It was at the Wednesday end and the game had just finished. The young kid did a daft thing but was only looking at that point to get back into the stand. He in no way deserved the heavy advances of one or more stewards getting their rocks off. Still, on the plus side, it was all played out in full view of the front row of the Wednesday support. Lots of video footage, many official police complaints made. Justice will be done. The kid will rightly get a ban and a fine. One or more stewards will rightly be prevented from getting their rocks off assaulting a young kid at football. Hopefully have their evening bouncer gig taken away also before they seriously injure someone who could be your son or daughter.
You are only looking at it in hindsight, at the end of the day he was somewhere he shouldn't have been and therefore would be classed as a danger, age has nothing to do with it, nobody could have any idea that he was not armed or that he wanted to do harm to someone, force was used and plenty of cameras around to see if anyone including the stewards acted inappropriately. Let's no pre judge.

Fair enough. More than enough video footage available to ascertain what happened and who was acting out of turn

After having a couple of drinks today, with a guy who witnessed the entire thing, his opinion is the Steward in question is taken to book, loses his job and is charged with assault.
BTW, the guy I was having a beer with is a Steward.

Someone might make a formal complaint to the Police. Yellow card offence for the security firm. Allegedly.

A kicking? Was it really?! I do it it. Heavy handed I'm sure but a kicking?! And he shouldn't have run on the pitch - fans know they risk this even if stewards were / are out of order!

Wednesday friends of friends who were in row A right in front of the incident report that yes, that was the case. They were pretty horrified by proceedings. They're nice people, I have no reason to doubt their version of events

Someone might, but as I was halfway down the WSU stairs at the time it won't be me because I did not see anything.
Neither will the guy I was having a drink with, he uses stewarding to supplement his hugely reduced income since being made redundant.

God my iPhone predictive text often makes no sense - its a wonder I can hold a convo on here
Well that's what I'm asking but a kicking to me means repeatedly being kicked whilst on the ground which I highly doubt.... Maybe a knee in the back etc...

Just reporting what I was told by a few folks who had - literally - a ringside seat. They were pretty shaken up. Like I say, there was more than enough phone/video evidence for a fair judgement to be reached.
