Without identifying the block, row and seat numbers (you know who you are) I encountered two morons who belligerently stated that I could not walk up a particular flight of stairs to get to my seat, not that it would have inconvenienced them in the slightest) as it was 'no entry'. I wasn't aware of this, until the clipboard pedants ungraciously pointed it out.To you both, 'grow the f*ck up' and be grateful that the person you spoke 'at' chose not to embarrass you further. And, to the idiot who who asked if I was speaking to him, I repeat my reply; If I'm talking to you, you will know. You call yourself fans and yet you behaved like small minded pedants to a fellow fan.
.....ahh, that's better!

I'm a bit perplexed by this.
Are you saying that two "fans" denied you entry? And that they were carrying clipboards? Very odd equipment to have if just a fan.
Or were they some sort of club official, but not in fluorescent jackets? Either way, there is no need for them to be rude toward you. I think if it was me, I'd make a point of going to my seat the same way on Saturday, forewarned and forearmed, and do the same thing every game until they left their self appointed post.
But then again, I'm a troublemaker................

For the avoidance of doubt: I am not setting up vigilante checkpoints in the SSU to intimidate posters with whom I habitually disagree.

Clipboards? Were these pedants from 1999? Im surprised they were let in with those given balloon and flask gate. You could have someones eye out with a clipboard.

I have decided to have some no 'self appointed pedantic stair way inspectors' to be printed and liberally placed in the offending area!

It was clearly not of your doing paul, these disagreeables were inarticulate grunting morons (i do hope they're reading this) and wouldn't have met the stringent requirements of your interview process

Did the clipboarders look remotely, ahem, Thai? Sounds to me as if the possible takeover might not be as friendly as we're led to believe. These thugs could be an advance guard, letting you plebs know who's in charge.

They looked decidedly 'local' but of course they may have been undercover. One small thing returns to memory though; neither were wearing any form of OUFC merchandise!

Almost tempted to switch from SSL to SSU on Saturday for a bit of the action! Have to relace my Doc Martens and dig out my wrist scarves first.
Stick your clipboards .......

We have stairs with no entry signs on them? How do these stairs work if no one can use them? Where do they lead to? Can you go up, but not down? Can you go down but not up? Is there a one way system in use that no one knows about? Who were these fans? This is all a bit strange and throws up a lot of questions that must be answered before anarchy take over and we all go mad....ps are those 2 fans reading this? Please show yourselves.... yes you, Iām talking to you.... no not you sit down... you!

This thread has got me gripped. I need to know the particular flight of stairs. Just to ensure I don't unintentionally transgress. (Or perhaps intentionally).

I have an idea. If I give out the exact location could we assemble in a disorganised queue at the foot of said stairs and, in one voice shout, 'MAKE WAY MAKE WAY, STAND ASIDE, WE SHALL PASS THROUGH UNHINDERED'. Or, 'get out of the f*cking way!'

What are the chances that any person mentioned in any thread on here will notice that they are the subject of the thread and if they do what are the chances that they will actually answer. Asking for a friend.

This is just plain weird.
So two blokes, just fans, not employees or stewards, arm themselves with clipboards and attempt to stop people walking up a flight of stairs that lead to their seat?
I'd like to see them try that in the North Stand!
It does, though, beg the question, why? Also, who? As well as, exactly where?
We deserve answers to these important questions.

I think the policy should be adopted - it's so annoying when you're with hoards of people and are trying to go up the 4 steps to the seats, only to be met by one person trying to get to the loo......tut tut!

Colin, I am grateful for your concern and I am sure that you will be relieved to learn that I am (slowly) recovering from this traumatic indignation. You will appreciate that my reference to 'clipboards' refers to the attitudes in question, rather than the physical presence of the clearly dangerous, weapons held by those in positions of pseudo authority. I would add, at the time I was holding two very hot drinks, milk and sugar! My plight was self evident and, one of the miscreants was a woman!! I am loathe to expose the exact location of those responsible as I am assuming that they, or someone who knows them, will be suitably ashamed and post a heartfelt apology. In the meantime, I was sitting in kk82, whereas they were in the row beneath, at the far end to my right guarding the stairs. Perhaps they need to be relocated, to the north stand?

Going the wrong way up a one way staircase leads to anarchy and the end of the world as we know it

Can i just confirm that it was in fact physically possible to get to your seat from those stairs?
Because obviously if not they were doing you a favour.
