"As for Maidenhead, the conga (which was amusing) aside, quite a strange bunch really – some the oddest chants I've ever heard at a football match" ~ localboy86, Amber Planet forum, 26th April 2015

Would you believe the word of an Ebbsfleet United steward?

Interesting thread on the Conf South forum, earlier this week, following a bizarre post on the Thurrock forum by Phil Sonsara (who has yet to respond to several recent letters, addressed to him directly, from individuals and also from Maidenhead United Supporters Association). Sonsara, the EUFC Chairman, is encouraging Thurrock fans to attend the Ebbsfleet home game, on the Saturday later this month, when the Essex side are due to be playing against Maidenhead United FC Ltd at York Road.

Thought I'd highlight some of the subsequent comments concerning other supporters' experiences of the Stonebridge Road stewards this season: 

"spot on about the Ebbsfleet stewards. More interested in their ejection numbers then actually doing their jobs fairly. I wonder if they are on commission for every away fan ejected?" ~ Grassbank72

"We had five fans there and it's fair to say the stewards were pricks" ~ seanwsm

"It's ironic that the chairman wants people in the ground and the stewards don't" ~ Kanu's Nan

So, it seems we're not the only ones to find them to be complete and utter tossers!

P.S. Note that, unlike the Head Steward (one S. Bath), I can spell 'Ebbsfleet' correctly.
