QPR's Press/Directors Stewards "Departing"

-
Guardian/Paul Kelso - Digger - Farewell to QPR stewards

A troubled season at QPR is to claim several more casualties with the dedicated stewards who look after the press and directors boxes claiming they are being forced to step down at the end of the year against their wishes. The club has demanded that the stewards, who have 167 years of service at Loftus Road between them, attend health and safety training and crowd control courses or lose their jobs. The stewards have opted for the latter and posted a note in the press room at the weekend saying farewell. QPR's former communications director Jackie Bass is already taking legal action against the club having been dismissed earlier this year. The club was unavailable for comment.
