This all seems like Mills is trying to sweep some serious breaches of spectator and club code of conduct, plus breaches of RSA laws under the proverbial carpet.“It was serious what happened last year, this is just rubbish,” he said. “If they just let it go, we’d let it go as well but they just keep going.”
IMO this needs to be dealt with harshly by NNSWF.
We are all worried about a streaker. I would love to hear anyone who didn't find it funny. Where i was sitting in the grandstand near to some magic people, even they found it quite funny. Surely there are bigger areas to improve than the once in a life time streaker event.
This all just seems petty to me. This rubbish between Edgeworth and Magic is old, who cares? Both seem to be as bad as one another in different ways.
I'm pretty sure the mother in front of me that had to explain the situation to her young son and daughter didn't find it funny. I'm sure there were plenty of others in the same scenario. But hey, if you think that's acceptable then go for it.Originally Posted by immersion
The main issue is that he was knowingly let back into the ground and then jumped in for BarTV interviews around the dressing sheds. It was handled poorly and the behaviour from both hills with Edgy fans was pretty ordinary. Not to mention the physical altercation between this same group of mates and an elderly gentleman being escorted away by security with a bloody nose.
End of the day, you can't prevent a streaker, but once it happens, there are a lot of different ways it can be handled better than what happened on the night.
If you can't see the correlation between a streaker and breach of RSA and code of conduct laws then you need to have a long hard think about life.
A breach of RSA laws alone could see parts of the club being shutdown on game days, and a loss of a major game day revenue stream
One common theme here, EDGEWORTH OFFICIALS. I recall reading about incidents with South Cardiff, Lambton Jaffas, Magic and Weston and Ive probably missed a few clubs
Going a bit harsh there FR.
Yeah it wasn't great but I can honestly see a bit of tall poppy syndrome here.
Let it go and move on, have a look at Edgy's RSA and give them a refresher on their responsibilities but nothing else should be done.
punishment for Edgy's moronic behaviour.
McBreen to play for Magic against Edgy, and Millsy to clean the toilets at Magic Park
lock out laws to implemented, if your not in the ground by 11am, that's it.
but its continuous, when will and how will they learn with a soft approach
I'm sure in the risk assessment for the return leg Edgeworth supporters will be limited to light beer and mocktails.
Uummm hellooo. I must have missed something. What exactly have Magic done here that warrants a hefty fine?
Yep, ill take the day off work to ponder my life because of the events that happen in local football. Good one.
Out of curiosity why is it Edgys responsibility the behaviour of said streaker??
How about the bloke in question take responsibility for his own shit and how about other people actually force him to take responsibility for his own actions instead of trying to negate his responsibility by trying to blame Edgy for it
Hey next time I out at Jack McLauglin Oval if I have a beer or two whose fault is it if I take my clothes off and go running around ??
It ain't Millsy's fault
It ain't the bloke who handed me the over priced tinny
It ain't the fault of Edgy FC
It the idiot drinking it and the idiot doing it
It's the security companies responsibility to uphold the RSA laws they're contracted to enforce.
They were contracted for the event by Edgeworth, therefore, it's Edgeworth's responsibility to make sure the security company understands it's responsibilities.
That's the nature of employing contractors.
I'm only guessing, but from past experience I'd say someone at Edgeworth hasn't had that pre-event chat with their security head for the day and made sure they are acting in the clubs best interests.
It's event management 101 really.
Totally agree with comments.
BUT
if Millsy is there high 5ing and encouraging the behaviour of this smart Edgyite, along with the 3 yellow vested duty officers, near the offender the whole game were finding his abusive manner funny and entertaining. then yes Edgy FC is at fault and they have a serious bogan mentality occurring at home, with repeat offences of this behaviour continually happening especially on Friday nights..
Great football team 1st GRADE is, unfortunately doesn't reflect the attitude of the morons running the joint

It is their responsibility because he was in attendance to support Edgeworth, was actively supporting Edgeworth and doing so within a larger group of Edgeworth supporters, regardless if they are known to the club or not.
In the eyes of NNSWF there are no neutral supporters. Its is an absolute disgrace that when the streaker returned and was harassing BarTV, an Edgeworth official remonstrated with security not the kick "the kid" out, again. The streaking was a culmination of many events that Edgeworth official blatantly ignored and were not showing visible presence to monitor THEIR SUPPORTERS' BEHAVIOUR, ignorance is bliss at Jack McLaughlin.
I would hope NNSWF sends a clear message to Edgeworth on the standard of behaviour outlined in the terms of admission and spectator code of conduct and expected at its events, and implements bans to the degenerate few.
This is the key words here for me.
Punt the degenerate few, and problem solved.
Also agree with MonkeyK - it was the security peoples responsibility to kick out the streaker, and keep him out. The only people I can really think of from the Edgeworth club who had a responsibility once the streaker was let back in was the people selling alcohol, to make sure they didn't sell more to him (which I'm assuming they didn't but can't confirm).
OK
Sorry Monkey but you are incorrect.
It is the licensee's responsibility to uphold the RSA laws - ultimately they are responsible and can have their liquor license terminated if they are found to have breached requirements.
The security company and bar staff that kept serving this idiot should be being monitored by the licensee.

So everyone is bashing a team for not controlling the crowd correctly. Which is fair in many ways.
But every club has their issues. Let's look at magic last year:
http://www.theherald.com.au/story/41...dge-complaint/
This doesn't paint a great picture for the club. One of the worst incidents over the past 2 years. But nothing ever happens.
And yet everyone gets on the bandwagon when something like this happens. Honestly, other than the magic supporters on here, does anyone care?
Throwing beers bottles and assaulting a player barely caused an issue, and yet everyone is crying over this.
Lets move on and talk football.
