2) I understand the past Chief Steward was unable to uncover any problems when Sam identified a strange pattern. To his credit after the Chief steward departed ( and he loved Newcastle) Sam had a new person investigate and we are now where we are. Go Sam, it may take time to get it right but I'll wait.
