Tonight was a step to Far we had-
Steward Assaults Volunteer Assaults Pitch Invasion Fans Spitting at Volunteers and stewards
After the game fans broke in and myself and another volunteer my brother (the only stupid enough people to do it) attempted to usher them out the exit and again we where being verbally abused and during this time Albion Rovers Players doing a warm down found this amusing.
When we got out the ground I was trying to control them for the players to leave safely home and away and the “Ultras” asked an Albion Rovers Player if he liked there actions like Flares pitch invasions and so on he responded with “yes lads we do” I then said please we don’t need them being encouraged anymore” and then he has turned round and told me under his breath to “fudge off”.
I will now be leaving the club role as a volunteer so will 2 others.
Hopefully some of the players will have a hard look at themselves and realise who works at the club for free so they can be paid.

This is absolutely unacceptable and it's past all but police intervention. Thanks for your and others efforts.

This is tragic in so many way. Really hope you reconsider Ben but totally understand if you don't.

Fair play to you Ben, nobody needs to take this shit. Hope the club will take action to follow this up.

I think that game will need a local police presence to keep things in order .

I find it sad people are now not helping the club due to the actions and attitude of some of the players

Sadly the behaviour of the weans around the stadium this season has been an on going topic, and is now out of control by the sounds of it.
I wouldn't blame anyone one bit for not getting involved in a voluntary basis. I certainly wouldn't be.
This does have potential to end up costing the club financially to deal with it and more importantly turning good fans away who can't be bothered with potential hassle.
As an add on, given the season is finished from a competitive point of view the club should be telling the players involved not to bother coming back.

Ben Gillooly This is dreadful Ben. Volunteers like you are the lifeblood of the club and shouldn’t have to face what happened last night and at most games recently. If unchecked, this kind of behaviour will stop people volunteering and coming to games. The fact that some of our players seemed to think that club volunteers taking abuse was in any way acceptable is staggering. I trust you have passed on the names to the board. Ronnie

It’s absolutely horrible that anyone was subjected to that and especially when volunteering in a role for the club that these other people claim to “support”. Last night was uncomfortable to watch and my hat goes off to all of you but enough is enough. The club needs to now ensure that there’s a police presence at games as a deterrent for these thugs.
Thank you to the volunteers for the work that you all do and hopefully this is resolved and doesn’t mean you guys have to walk away.
