The Everton fan arrested for shouting ‘murderers’ at an Anfield derby has had his 3 year ban from football overturned due to their being no evidence whatsoever. Absolutely amazing how a police officer is able to pinpoint one bloke amongst hundreds and are vigilant enough to arrest him for essentially name calling yet the same police force couldn’t find one person who smashed the Man City bus up and left that woman needing medical attention. Not one. Amazing.
This is one thing that really amazes me about match days on Merseyside. Despite the police mostly working both stadiums for games, the way they are policed is entirely at odds with each other.
The Everton matchday experience, not just from a personal point of view but from away fans also, always seems to be a positive one. The police and stewards are excellent, friendly, helpful and will go above and beyond their duties to assist fans (home and away) inside and around the ground.
Our stewards are regularly voted the best from other fans forums and the police receive very good reviews as well, its not unknown to see large groups laughing and joking with the police and stewards waiting outside the ground, lending to a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.
Over at snake mountain most away fans experience of "The Pit" tends to be negative, with aggressive stewarding and policing from the same people that do such a great a job at Goodison. Is it the shoites policy to create tension, do the police and stewards feel emboldened by LFC and their fans to behave like they do, a sort of "monkey see, monkey do" attitude. How do people who do such a great job one day switch from Jekyll to Hyde, does the stewards negative attitude reflect onto the police or is it vice versa?
