They can easily spill into the field, unlike the death traps in the UK, prior to the Taylor report.

Massive difference between the hills at RL grounds and, say. Hillsbourough. Police allowing crowds to force their way forward between chain link fences with no way out doesn't happen here.
I wouldn’t read too much into Mothers Day crowds, historically it trends below average.
Massive difference between hills at Rugby League grounds and terraces at Football grounds in the UK is that Rugby League fans don't really want to beat the shit out of each other unlike so called Soccer fans of UK and Europe.
Current capacity at Pointsbet is 12,000, maximum allowed under OH&S guidelines for the project
11000 so anything over 9500 is close to a sellout.
I was close lol
It’s people falling in a rush then getting stamped on and crushed that’s the problem. To say it’s never happened so no problem is one of the dumbest things Ive heard on here, and that’s saying something lol
Unless you dis the last post lol
It's officially 11,500 but attendance will always be less depending on how many Members attend as most seating is sold out to members and can't be resold! Yesterday was close to a sellout.
Yep but that won’t stop the whingers whinging
Actually we have never had hills in Melbourne. I can’t think of any old VFL grounds with a grass hill. Plenty of standing room on terraces, but no hills. In fact MCG still has 5k standing room and Marvel 3k (all undercover). Prior to closing all the suburban grounds, you either stood on the terrace, or sat in a grandstand. Most grounds we about half/half. Sitting on a grass hill is winter seems strange - wouldn't you get a wet arse? Melbourne is a little colder, but, given Sydney gets twice as much rain I am surprised that people love hills.
I would be happy with most teams having 15k - 20k high quality suburban grounds (i.e. plenty of cover, amenities and seating) and play 1 or 2 games per year at the bigger venues
yes because games on mothers day afternoon always draw big crowds lol.
Lol excuses excuses. If it was a Sydney club you wouldn’t of held back. It got less than the Raiders did at the shittty 6pm time slot.
I've been listening to sydney fans that long the excuses just seem to come easily these days lol I didnt realise Friday was mothers day as well?
