Because I'm so skint, if I do go to Alfreton I don't think I'd be likely to buy a hi-vis jacket but I already have a suit...

I think the inflatables at Barnet put our point across about overzealous stewarding in a really humourous way that a lot of people were able to appreciate. I think that particular protest has been done now though. Also, without wanting to be a killjoy, I think everyone wearing hi-vis would lead to calls of potentially endangering crowd safety as people would be less able to tell who the actual stewards were, those people who are there to supposedly look after our safety. I think there would be some who wouldn't find it amusing and it could backfire. Visibly it would look surreal but practically I don't think it's a good idea. Just a couple of thoughts.

Immariner I understand your point regarding stewarding but are any club at this level going to turn away 300-500 people in Hi-viz?

High vis vests can easily be folded up and put in coat pocket. Don them once in ground.


"Pound for pound, and class for class, the best football team I have seen in England since the war. In the league they were in they played football nobody else could play. Everything was measured, planned and perfected and you could not wish to see more entertaining football." Bill Shankly, Manager GTFC 1951-54

I liked the suited and booted idea at Alfy


I can see the dry cleaners rubbing their hands right now.


Grimsby and proud!

Stewards is the best idea of the lot in my opinion.
It'll actually show them up for the worthless wastes of spaces that they are

"Wellies at Welling"? Just had a fan (Dan Baker) on the GTFC's black and white army come up with this one.

Hi-Vis cost next to nothing to buy and you can just fold them up and put them in your pocket and we can all do that and put them on once through the turnstiles at Alfreton.

They are a £1 each at my work.

Hi-viz is a great idea! You can even get personalised ones with the GTFC badge printed on the back at an extra cost.

Get the club to commission a one off hi-viz away kit to play in on the day
