Teams of part time or freelance scouts still need paying. I’d rather have them as our employees. My industry is full of freelancers and I prefer working with proper employees. There’s more focus on what the organisation is after that way. Also as a freelancer who cares a lot about the places he works you’ve been working with the wrong freelancers. I work in the PR industry. Nothing against them, I know some pretty good freelancers. But in my experience it’s easier and better for the organisation working with employees than freelancers.

Which is why I think/thought the club will act before then. The atmosphere will be horrible, why risk that? Likely because after expected scenes, there is simply no coming back. Leaves Rusk no argument to come back with. Only an assumption mind. Noted that it's an assumption, but if it's true that is simply horrific, both for Rusk and us.

Wasn't one of them liking tweets slagging off fans the other week? Yes. A director too, no less.

Promises to be a horrible day at EP. I wonder if they fully realise just how nasty Saturday could be? If it's anything like Yeovil/Halifax, there won't be polite applause or even just a few boos. It'll be personal abuse and proper anger. It's not right, but that's how it'll be if we turn in another performance like Yeovil. Throw in a big crowd and Wrexham bouncing around and I really wouldn't be surprised to see people on the pitch and it going off all over the ground and down Castle Street. I hope they're prepared for it. Absolutely this. Without being too hyperbolic about it, the whole day has the chance to be complete carnage. If they think employing six new stewards will solve the problem they're in for a shock.

But in my experience it’s easier and better for the organisation working with employees than freelancers. I’m in theatre. I don’t know of a single theatre that runs exclusively on full time employees. In a lot of venues it’s the full timers who are most jaded and the freelancers who keep it together. My point being that different industries and even different roles within those industries, have different needs. Scouting is something that, to my understanding, one that is usually freelancer led.

Imagine doing some research into starting your new part time weekend job as a steward this Saturday, and coming across this forum!! I think we'll be seeing more guys in black, than in hi-vis on Saturday.

Just my personal preference and I suppose that’s why I agree with the club’s decision to have them as full employees.

I understand the clowns that run our club have sold a load of home end tickets to their fans which didn't happen to any mass scale a couple of years ago.

Kind of the opposite of when I was down in Luton for one reason or another and my dad was living nearby at the time so we decided to go to Kenilworth Road to watch the (any!) match: “Where would you like to sit?” “Home seats, somewhere around halfway.” “Postcode please.” “SK<whatever>” “No walk ups for <away team> supporters today I’m afraid.” “But we’re not really <away team> supporters. We just fancied some live football.” “I’m going to have to ask you to leave, sir.” “Sorry, what?!” “SECURITY!!!”

Stick em all in the railway end and hope it pours down. Because we’ll be lucky to have 5,000 County fans in there after recent performances and results. Avoids loads of them in our end and it kicking off when they invariably score. And to make some money from them.
