Leichhardt Oval - Wall Collapses

[weststigerman]

Not sure there will be much professional footy played there for a while.

Should never have happened. Hope everyone is okay.

Rare day at LO when the crowd caves in before the players.

 

[TCL]

Hope everyone is ok.

Upgrade the joint, give LO the funds otherwise this grand old gal will be condemned and forgotten. Maybe that's what the local gov wants.
Apart from law suits, if several people lost their lives I wonder what would happen.
Can someone enlighten us on who are sitting on their hands?

 

[coivtny]

Parents from a Joey's v Riverview game. Lawyers Will make a fortune out of this.

Thankfully it sounds like noone seriously hurt however.

Probably the two best-known catholic schools in Sydney. It's a Masonic plot.

They should sue Glen Morrison

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

More likely to never play a game there again unfortunately. It will probably go through a huge audit of the site now and find a heap of features deemed unsafe.

Might get that upgrade now...

Weak Penrith minister gives his team 300 mill but the premier can't look after the tigers.
Get Ur shit together

Shouldn’t play any further games there until appropriate upgrades take place.

News.com.au reported that a "Grandstand" at LO collapsed. Pathetic journalism. I hope all are well. It didn't look good.

Not to mention the 200 million to buy the land at the trotting track, 500 million all up.

What a joke.

Pretty sure that Lee and Peter V'landys will get plenty of mileage out of this fiasco.

Par for the course for almost all of Murdoch's media outlets.

Lucky no one ended up in the Morrison memorial lavatories. Would have needed to spend months in quarantine and become a walking petri dish

 

[TurnStyle]

Rare day at LO when the crowd caves in before the players.

I really didn't want to, but I couldn't help but laugh at that... Suitably ashamed, but that was funny.

In all seriousness though, it's a horrible thing to happen and I really hope everyone is okay.

 

[hank37w]

Leichhardt definitely needs an upgrade.

The stadium is a weak gutted dog.

You mean like Dominic Parasite.

and I mean Dominic Parasite is a weak gutted dog.

Leichhardt definitely needs an upgrade.

The stadium is a weak gutted dog.

Leichhardt Oval should have been condemned years ago. This type of today’s event was inevitable.

Widow dressing isn’t the answer. Only a major rebuild can save it. .

 

[balmain boy]

It's happened at several larger and newer stadiums in the state. In Newcastle and at the old SFS during aleague matches.
Nothing was done about those stadiums. It's just basic maths. You can't have that much weight being pushed up on a thin fence.
I hope IWC sends the bill to Joeys so they can cover the repairs

Thankfully they are reporting nobody seriously hurt, nobody taken to hospital.
