WHAT'S happening, Australia? What happened to the days where you and your family could go and enjoy watching sport in safe surroundings, hearing the sounds of cheering not jeering, of high fives and Mexican waves not flares, streakers and pitch invasions? Hoods and politics have marked and spoiled a once favourite Australian pastime, unfortunately certain sports have brought this enjoyable time to an end.
The high crowd control fences were brought down in fear of crowd crush and structure failure. Do we now bring them back with floor to roof netting to prevent these hoods and thugs throwing missiles and pitch invasions, or do we need something like electrified paddock fencing, or security personnel carrying tasers?
