I'm just watching a CNN talk show produced in London - politics, social issues etc - with usually the same guests from the world of politics and media - and one reckoned that at West Ham there is a system whereby you can send a text message direct to stewards if there is somebody "gobbing off" in a crude / racist manner and they will come and deal with it. Now I don't know if he's right.

I believe that facility is available at a few grounds already,pretty sure I heard it mentioned at a ground recently(Notts County ?)...Don’t hold your breath waiting for that to happen at SJP though !

It's been available at Wembley for some years too.

It only really works in seated areas.

Comfortably mid-table
We've had this since last September

although for an instant response it's best to see a steward there and then
(it's possible to speak to a steward away from the incident if you are afraid of comeback from the supporter in issue due to the complaint)

Imagine using it on the BB. Text: hello stewards, the bloke next to me is shouting racist comments.
Steward: whereabouts in the ground are you?
Me: on the BB, next to the bloke shouting racist comments. We're both wearing stripey shirts, but his hair's a lighter colour than mine.

Or you could just say that you are between columns x and y and two thirds back for example.

Didn't know the BB had columns x and y.

Or, to express in proper algebraic terms
BB = ((x+y)*2)/3 ?
