WESTS TIGERS STATEMENT

Wests Tigers has called for an urgent meeting with the SCG Trust to review the circumstances surrounding the breach in protocol that resulted in fans prematurely flooding onto the ground after the match against South Sydney on Sunday, May 16.
>
“The incident has caused great concern and we will be looking to understand why the procedures that were agreed to were not followed,’’ said Wests Tigers CEO Stephen Humphreys.
>
“The plans put in place prior to the match were for supporters to be allowed onto the field after the second siren had sounded and after all players had left the field and returned to the dressing rooms.
>
“We are keen to learn the lessons and ensure that the right procedures are in place and adhered to so that we can continue to allow fans of all ages the rare opportunity to gain access to the hallowed turf of the SCG as part of our annual clash against the Rabbitohs.”

Who are they apologising too?

eerrrrrr. he means we are playing them at the scg AGAIN next year and every bloody year??? souths LOVE this game, yesterday was a friggin southsfest! fox was showing south sydney glories of yesteryear and talking to about 3 former souths players about how great their bloody club is, it was making me sick. on top of that they spoke to john sattler about balmains '69 grand final win.and on television atleast, it looked like souths fans out numbered tigers fans. all this at OUR home game.

STOP GIVING AWAY OUR FRIGGIN HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE YOU BLOODY MORONS!!!

Cant happen for safety reasons. Imagine telling all the kids to run on the field and grab the black and white striped thing in the corner that hasnt done a thing all day. Fitz just doesnt have the abilty to sidestep them.

I saw one of the security guys try to guard one of the cornor posts. He grabbed it but then had about 100 people bolt towards him and he threw it away before he was going to get smashed. Before that when he was guarding the cornor post he stopped this guy from getting the cornor post but this little kid about 5 years old made a long dash from the other side going for the prize when the security guard was distracted.

i thought the kids were encouraged to go for the corner posts?

maybe they could do a wests V manly game there one year?

but i think it has to do with the balmain v souths grand final…

btw, how great did those jerseys look? i love them. they should be our home strip, with the black and white being the away strip.

How about Souths have the SCG game as one of their home games? We could alternate it annually…
