Bazal said:Don't you recall the flare that went on the playing surface a few years back? Behind the posts at the Showground (IIRC), I have no idea whether there was a game in progress or not, which is why I never said that players were endangered.
As for the 45%...I said that I wasn't saying that is the number of dickhead Dogs fans, just that it can technically be considered a minority...just because not all Dogs fans are dickheads, doesn't mean they haven't got a larger percentage than most clubs...
If you're only referring to flares/fireworks, then I don't recall any incidents either. However, weren't there a few Dogs fans throwing some dangerous projectiles (either glass bottles or bottles full of water) at Finchy a couple of years back. I'm not saying he didn't deserve it. I was kinda hoping one would hit and somehow take him out of the game for a few weeks or more.Dodger said:I don't recall a single incident where our fans have put any NRL players in danger.
Nickeel said:Have not had a worse experience at the football, in terms of behaviour of fans, than at Brookvale last month. I went from being surrounded by chest beating wankers speaking garbled interest and insulting my sister on the hill; to thugs grabbing me because of the jersey I was wearing outside the ground; to a carfull of them with a siren mounted on their dashboard sitting behind our car flashing their headlights and urging us to pull over/following us for a good two kilometres through to Frenchs Forest before they sped off, shouting sh*t at us all the way.
I have been to many, many, many games in my time, involving opposition fans with 'reputations' such as the Bulldogs group, and the only time I have ever felt in any kind of danger was that night at Brooky. A hole of a place, people by the festering wretches who have crawled from it. Was my first time and will likely be my last - don't think I will ever go back.

mightypanther said:I'm with you. Last year at Brookie was the most hideous night I have ever spent at a game.
We were treated like dirt, and the manly fans were like animals.
We were so disgusted by the crap we had to go through, that I sent a complaint letter to the Manly football club. Their response ? Pathetic.
A one paragraph letter stating that they had no official reports from the security staff about any trouble, so I must either be mistaken, or be exaggerating my experience. WANKERS.
