The MW is unique as far as reserved seating goes. We dont have a whole bay of it, just the front 6 rows. This means that the aisle attendant actually has to do his/her job properly, explaing to punters as they come up the steps with just GA tickets that they cant actually sit in all those nice empty seats in Rows A-F.
What doesnt help is ES' weird decsion to put "reserved" signs on the underneath of each aisle seat..which even when flipped up makes them impossible to see from the actual aisle..making said attendants job just that much more important.
Now..after politely telling about 20 people who were trying to sit there that our row is reserved, I just casually remarked to our attendant for the day that "you might like to tell your bosses sometime that you cant read those reserved signs unless you bend down and stand on your head" The response I got was quite interesting "Oh you St Kilda supporters are the biggest pack of whingers Ive ever met..why dont you go and ring Neil Mitchell and complain to him"
O....K
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
That was just the beginning
Once the game got underway, it transpired that this bloke was a big Bombers fan, and started barracking accordingly!!. All a bit of fun you might think..until with the game blown open in the first 20 mins, he starts roundly telling off the MW regulars near him for "being too cocky"!! Said regulars told him that perhaps he should stick to doing what he's paid to do and barrack a bit less
Comes quarter time and into the second quarter, the barracking continues, and and one of our own decides to have a word with him and tell him again to do his job. Attendant then cracks it and yells that he is "getting his supervisor to sort us out" at half time
Comes half time and yes, supervisor duly arrives...has a chat to said supporter (who is a SS regular too I might add!) agrees with his side of the story..and beckon our Hero attendant out the back for a word.
Didnt see him after 1/2 time.
All in all very bizzare. OK he was a Bombers fan, no crime against that, but to carry on like a fervent fan while ignoring people who are arriving late and trying to sit in reserved seats??
Oh and his personal hygeine was severely lacking too..do they have showers at the ground?

At last report I heard someone was gona ring ES and complain about him this morning..
Anyone else got any strange staffing/attendant stories at our ground??lol
