Why football teams should never wear the same colours as the stewards

Peterborough United’s luminous change strip resembles the high-visibility jackets worn by stadium staff.

THERE’S BEEN A growing trend among football clubs to produce the brightest and most colourful away strips imaginable in recent seasons.

League One club Peterborough United are an example of the dangers involved in wearing gear that clashes with high-visibility jackets.

During Saturday’s 1-0 win away to Northampton, Posh midfielder Michael Bostwick picked up the ball just inside the opposing half and looked to spread the play out wide to what must have appeared to be a team-mate.

Unfortunately, he had actually passed to a steward strolling down the touchline on his phone.

    Wouldn’t be like Brendan to try engineer his way out of a club. He’s looking sacked and that payday

    @mel roberts: definitely pushing for the redundancy package! He certainly is not trying to motivate the squad he has, which has some fine players.

    What a few years can make. If the manager guess on. Which he is entitled to speak. The owners can fire him. I fear for the club.
