At least 10 Grimsby Town supporters had their bras checked by stewards before the League Two sides met on Saturday, according to the Mariners Trust. In a letter sent by the Mariners Trust to Stevenage FC, the Grimsby Town fan group said female supporters were asked to lift up their tops to show their bras to female stewards in view of other supporters, including men and male stewards. The group said the “gross invasion of privacy” went further when some female stewards asked to feel supporters’ bras if they confirmed that they were underwired. He added: “What we can’t understand as football supporters is why Stevenage football club have told their stewards to do this. “No incidents were recorded on the day of any inappropriate behaviour towards female supporters or young spectators.
