Don't understand not letting kids on the pitch. It's 20 degrees out, the grass is still growing. Kids don't weigh much and are wearing flat soled shoes in the most part. It's not like 16 heavyweights get down to some serious scrum practice against each other. You get a few balls kicked and some running around.
Big Deal!

OK - if the advice of professional pitch men is that it's good enough to take 80 minutes of 31 people running round on it in studs, pushing against each other, running, slipping, but it's not good enough to take 30 kids in trainers after the game, then so be it. I bow to their expert advice. However, if there is no expert advice I'd like to know why the ban exists.

I've no idea, but I would guess that they want to give it as little use as possible. Also, there may be a health and safety issue - kids could slip, or trip in any of the inevitable ruts from the game. Again, just a possibility.

It was awful...
I have never felt more like an interloper at the ground I have been coming to for near 12 years as I did on Sat.
I didn't have cause to interact with them but observed them barking commands at supporters, shouting abuse at kids when rugby balls ended up on pitch. Staring at you as though you were about to commit some aggregious offence...
We really do seem to be becoming an annoyance not in keeping with the roadmap of being a shiny corporate events venue... that regrettably we need to be 'managed/tolerated' for the time being...
I will be reaching out to Club to voice my thoughts

Very disappointed to see the attitude of Quins post game security tonight.
Pleasant autumnal evening plenty of fans drinking calmly outside the east stand. Must have been six or seven yellow security guards and clip board man positioned as in football strategically posted staring straight at the crowd. often pointing at people on the walkway
One particular female yellow guard visibly upset one child in a group of very young kids venturing on the pitch and shouting at them fiercely to get off. Young child then seen in tears.
Where has the family atmosphere gone? It was like a football match with over the top security staring straight at the supporters. I don’t think Tigers are the Leeds or Millwall of rugby so why the attitude couldn’t see any problems?
I appreciate safety is important for all of us but goodness knows who ordered this new and often intimidating approach which will of course inevitably invite some challenging behaviour. Quins management this was very poor please take note.

One game last year, I was walking back from the loo and stopped to watch the big screen as play was in the opposite corner and we looked like we might score. Blocking nobody's view. Some sumptuous steward came up and told me to move as it was a CRIMINAL OFFENCE to stand there. Can't have been there for more than 1t seconds.

While you're getting them to work on training, can you explain to them how to pour a pint of Guinness properly.

I'd rather they took it off the menu altogether. The very idea of having a drink which takes 5 minutes to pour at a busy bar.

Sigh.
It's all gone down hill since Kevin stopped stewarding!
