I Took my kids from the age of three plus a group of other kids to the hill at Leichhardt for years and never once had a problem. Their were places you did not go and up around the score board was always a no go area.
As for the smoking thing, I agree, I dont want a person next to me blowing smoke in my face,head to the back of the hill and have a quick puff their
Anyway Iam getting soft in my old age, now the same group of kids who are in their mid twenties sit with me in row one of the grandstand, but the bottom line, their is nowhere better to watch your football than Leichhart oval

I stand near the scoreboard…..its hilarious there...not for kids though.
If i go with family i sit in front of the hill,or on the stand side.

hahaha some funny posts here…some real sticks in the mud too.
The point being made is that this is an area where we can be boofheads and not have to worry about the sensibilities of soft parents and their annoying children. This is being eroded from everywhere lately with the PC minded softcox having louder voices....
The cricket, v8 motor racing, concerts, even pubs have become family friendly craches...The Bathurst 1000 has been absolutely destroyed as an event....some areas should be left aside for the 'bogans'...that is where the true fun can be had.

Was on the hill round half way ..and half way up the hill..did anyone else see David Gallop?
But its not tuff Flippedy!
Where I was on the hill was pretty much muppet free (just back from the concrete walkway wall on ~the 30m line at the Mary St end). There were a number of kids and families, one of whom was a long time Maggies fan and her pre-teen kids who had driven from Mudgee for the game. Bit of swearing, bit of ribbing but nothing too obnoxious and everyone had a lot of fun, especially the kids.
Funniest bit was a couple of Parra fans who were sitting on the walkway wall. When Parra scored their last try these two stood up to cheer and this young kid ~12 just sat down on the wall and knicked their seat. Then wouldn;t move. They kept looking at him trying to work out what was going on but didn;t say anything to him as he studiously ignored them. You probably had to be there but was funny at the time.

Agreed and this is coming from a father of three boys aged between 14 and 4 who's a non smoker and can't stand grown men acting like tools, but there is a time and place for everything as long as its all in good fun. The hill at the footy is not a place for sensitive do -gooders and the fun police.

My greatest memory of being on the hill at Leichardt was at the Parra game in 04, my mate and i were 15 feet away from the Parramatta Jesus. We were kicking their backsides so he was copping heaps. Some of the best sledges:
''You'll need a miracle now Jesus'' and ''Go home now Jesus and beat the traffic''
I guess the highlight was when he started rolling joints

Look parents aren't stupid and most normal parents can pick a safe environment on the Hill , But you start throwing Full and half cans at someone they will re-act , i know i would .
You can have Banter and the rest but some people take it to a stupid level that will cause fights.

Also… I get a bunch of free tix for most Knights & Jets games through work.
I don't follow or care for soccer so I give them away.
Usually get around 15 general admission tix and 10 grandstand seated tix.
I give away the GA tix and keep the good g'stand tix for me and my boys.
Side view from the grand stand > behind the post general admission / the hill.
