Shirts on for the boys...

Interested in three things here.

1. What was said by security?




2. Did they really call in the police?




3. Anyone got shots of Wanderers at Gosford and did the RBB remain dressed?

All we want is our vitamin D

1. "Its against Stadium policy"

2. There were 2 cops up the top of the stand while security came down, one came down after about 1 min or 2 also with the against stadium policy line.

It did dampen a fun evening -a lot of unnecessary tension introduced while we should be having a celebration and if its so offensive, how come Fox Sports always show it??

Fox news dont mind showing women fans in their bras at Westpac though. Not shy about that are they? Usual Aussie double standards. I dont see them jumping on the locals in various games where a few have taken their tops off.

Please note RRB have been allowed to do anything they want as they're the bext fans in the league. In other news, the Australian Government are allowing Kiwis the same rights and benefits so long as they have lived there for 150 years.

what a load of BS

Maybe club needs to get involved.So FFA want active fans yet this sort of crap goes on,not as if its something new has been a part of our support since that first away win in Sydney.Complete over reaction and typical double standards by the Aussies.

They probably wouldnt attempt this with the RBB or any of the other Aussie based teams as they normally have a lot more attending.

One reason for putting their place on the bottom of the list of preferred away venues.

Referring to what I said or the fun police in Gosford?

Needless action by dickhead security? That's never, ever happened in the HAL before......

I'm sure the FFA will be right on it with a well thought out policy. Everything the FFA does makes complete sense.

It's not new - I was in the away bay at Bluetongue on 31 December 2009 - security moved in when shirts came off then too.

If it is stinking hot at our next home game, perhaps we should start with shirts off and in the 80th minute put them back on?

Watching the Sydney game at the moment. Shirts off isn't allowed but orange smoke bombs are? Wtf, where's the consistancey?

Saw on Twitter today Lawrie McKinna getting involved.  Saying "I have never heard of it but I will look into it for you crazy for not allowing the shirts to come of sorry" and " I have passed onto Council GM and he will follow up with security sorry once again"

Time to change your signiture? Shirts on for the boys? Well only in Australia.

Current weather conditions suggest it might be though. Fever banner? "Shirts off in Oz"

I was given 2 different story's from different security guards. It's against stadium policy. It's a licensed venue, and if we went into a club we wouldn't be able to take our shirts off... ( but a brass band and flags are ok??) I was a few drinks deep and that didn't make any sense and still doesn't. The other was that the FFA has said we must put our shirts on, again doesn't make a lot of sense when they have no issue when we are at home. There were a couple of cops who wandered down after a few minutes of us negotiating with security that's about the time I gave in.

Sounds like the security guards were making shit up as they went along with it.

My experience of Gosford is that although it's a v pretty seaside town just north of metropolitan Sydney it's actually quite a rundown/working class/redneck kinda place, so maybe the local security guards & cops were a bit bemused/alarmed by this weird/foreign/impolite behaviour from a sizeable group of non-locals. Like 'who are these Kiwi stirrers?'
