A WOMAN who slipped and fell backwards on a step during an NRL game at a Newcastle stadium has had her $91,117 payout overturned in court.

It was a wet and windy winter afternoon at Broadmeadow more than four years ago when Kerri Kane took a tumble as she navigated steps on the lower western side of McDonald Jones Stadium.
