FAO NAsioum re Derby Stewards

I have no idea if it is true because I did not see the incident but I overheard on the way home that Bilverstone was carted out for pushing a steward down the steps and hitting a policeman!

Also the young lad taken out in the second half. I was really shocked that the steward had hold of him by the neck (surely thats not the appropriate or safest way to restrain someone?) and at one point even from the back of the stand I could see the steward apply so much force to the lads neck that he physically jolted his head forward. I hope that was in your letter of complaint.
