No, I assume in the world we live in, the stewards are zero hours through a third-party vendor. So they probably are Arsenal fans.

Question - Do we have 2 types of stewards at the city? Those who look at the ticket and those for any trouble. I guess the later maybe a third-party security vendor.

At the CCS, they have ‘club’ stewards and ‘third party’ stewards, who are employed ‘zero hour

As at other stadiums, there are stewards trained in dealing with specific issues and making ejections. Other stewards, in the main, are there for general access and crowd control duties

They should have been sacked, it's unprofessional and totally inappropriate.
