I Was Just Rejected At ANZ Stadium Homebush Tonight

[Parra]

I ask that you all boycott ANZ Stadium Homebush from here on in

Most people are way ahead of you on this one mate.

I wish we could've seen the banner.

Maintain the rage.

 

[Ribs]

Something has to be done.

They want us there but they hate us there.........

Problem is they dont seem to care about fans at all and the lobotomy specimens they hire for security are the worst in Sydney by a long shot.

We need ideas, they must be punished.

Hello from an internet cafe at Liverpool at this strange hour (for me).

It's about 7:10pm as of writing this - Monday night.

My night hasn't gone to script.

I'll do my best not to swear or lose my cool typing this thread.

Ohhh boy.
Where do I start.

I guess my first question is, do we live in a free country?
Is Australia a free country?
And are we aloud to express ourselves without conviction under the freedom of speech right?

Where's my entitlement to have a sense of humour in NSW it has to be asked?

I was rejected tonight because of a banner I took with me.

I left home at around 4pm thisarvo.
Got to Homebush at around 6pm.
Got to the gates, didn't purchase a ticket. (something told me they'd f*ck me.)
Went straight to Gate D is it?
Is general admission gate D?

The nice lady with the glasses mans that section.

She was asked to observe my banner I brought along with me.
She held it up to the camera behind me to let the 'yes men' see it.
Then an authoritive arsehole bloke came over, took one look at it and said no way.
If that guy didn't have his head stuck up his arse then I don't know.

She radioed it through to head quarters.
They made me wait 10 minutes.

She came back at me and said it has to be hooded and left with me you're free to come in otherwise.

On what grounds they rejected my banner was it didn't represent either team and you're wearing a Western Suburbs Magpies jersey to boot.

My banner read Reserved For Ghosts and came with a scream mask that was to be attached once in the ground.
I was protesting about the lack of fans that are attending their sh*tty ground.
It was done in humour and took me over 2 nights to complete.
Not mentioning gluing it down and taping it, or stealing the actual white banner from a construction site.

I told the lady to relay a message to the arsehole that rejected me and I said, 'tell them they are absolute killjoys.'

Which they are.

I'm done.
That's the last time Brett Gaddes attends ANZ Stadium Homebush.
They don't want my patronage or sense of humour then get knotted.
They are f*cking killjoys and do everything in their power to take the fun out of football.
You are not aloud to have a sense of humour anymore this day and age.
People misunderstand your humour.
It's the same as being sarcastic.
You're not aloud to show any wit anymore this day and age and I give up.

Seriously....my chest is heavy and I feel like smashing someone’s skull right now.
I just traveled in the over packed train then back here to Liverpool and tore my sign to pieces and kept my broom handle.
Here I am now walking around Liverpool with all the dead beats with a f*cking broom handle, rejected, dejected, loss of faith....lost.

OurRedV told me to register your banners.
I was told at the ground you have to register it with the club that's hosting the game.
I e-mailed the actual ANZ Homebush Stadium itself on Friday and asked to register it which they never bothered to reply to.
I didn't know you had to register it with the club.

This isn't the last you've heard of this.
I've been made to feel like a second rate citizen tonight in a free country.

Can somebody get me David Gallops contact details, please?
His address where his office is?
Can someone help me?

The hell if I'm not aloud to have my say on this game!
I grew up on this sh*t!
I'm not taking this.

The ANZ stadium has f*cked itself tonight and I will not step foot near that place again if they're going to do this to Australians.

Don't tell me I can't have a sense of humour!

Are you hearing me, people? They've stripped us of our fun.
You're not aloud to enjoy yourself anymore.

I'll tell you more about this tomorrow at 2pm when I do my 'Game Day' preview and how today went down.
I have photo's of my good time right up until I stepped foot in that sh*thouse.

My faith in Rugby League has been shattered tonight, guys.
I feel let down.

I know I come across as a smart arse 98% of the time but I'm lost for words right now and doing my best not to hurt anyone.

I'll tell you what....I'm gonna go home now and put on a big smile in front of my folks and pretend it didn't effect me tonight.
In truth, all tonight I won't sleep and I'll just run the rejection through my mind over and over and over.

It was humiliating in the train coming home just then, everybody looking at me asking what my sign meant.
The odd expressions of this dickhead holding a large arse banner in an over packed train.
What's he doing.

My boat has been rocked tonight, guys.

I ask that you all boycott ANZ Stadium Homebush from here on in if they're going to f*ck the heart and soul of this game.

Mother f*cking killjoys killing our fun.

I'm done.

Welcome to 1984 or the New World Order buddy. Things are about to get worse ahead but many will mock or glady go along with the bullsh*t.

 

[KalgoorlieRed]

Angry Eel

I'm taking a stand and firmly believe in my own press.
I'm making a statement that us fans are letting Rugby League down and that ANZ homebush is a bigger contributor to the downfall in attendance.

That ground is killing Rugby League.

We're the laughing stock of Football overall and some piddly piss ants like Soccer last night at ANZ stadium Homebush in a dead rubber where 70K fans showed up to watch a 1-nil score line make us look like nimrods when we can't even draw 5K people to ANZ.

We have the best game in the world and people aren't attending and that giant white elephant can go f**k itself!
It's a contributor.
Don't tell me what I can do or bring to a game!
Don't restrict my actions!

Death to ANZ Stadium.

If you're down with that place then f*ck you too.

My sign meant a lot to me.
I was making another point tonight.

It wasn't about that game (that's being played right now) it was about my message.

You're wasting your time casting pearls before the swine on this forum mate. Too many on here a doogooders and passive.

People are being manipulated by the media but the sad sheep don't know any better. Best to keep away from ANZ Stadium.


Thats a message to ALL fans! Vote with your feet!

 

[alexc]

dude that is awesome. Got pics of the banner? I get depressed watching that place on TV.

 

[OVP]

Bad luck Brett

I agree with you about the fun/thought police, they are EVERYWHERE today. It sickens me. Nothing gets in the way of the almighty dollar, and DONT argue with it !! Then you get other little pissant groups like the Health Nazis. Do you know we have more laws in Australia than they do in China ? Yet we are a so-called "free" country. :lol: Bollocks. We fought two huge wars to keep us free ... but the old diggers might get thrown out for having a cigarette with their beer on Anzac Day. The Nazis somehow won.

 

[KalgoorlieRed]

It will all end in tears I tell ya! The AFL should hurry up and buy the bl**dy place!

 

[ozjet1]

9,827.

NRL - time of death...........

 

[Ribs]

I know....

T-shirts. Someone would make a killing selling shirts with anti ANZ slogans.

sh*t Id buy one for sure.

I follow St George, but not at ANZ Stadium.

 

[smeghead]

I read it and originally thought you had taken your vaunted White Power banner along.

Either way you are a reject so it is fitting

 

[the beavers]

maybe someone could sneak some tumble weed into the place to clearly demonstrate what a barron wasteland of an arena it is


"from the commencement of the 2009 season.... supporters jerseys are being banned from the stadium next year and will be replaced by grey overalls handed out on entry owing to supporters gear being "dangerously colourful" and "having the potential in areas of the stadium where the players are within range of sight not requiring visual aids to elicit a response from the attendees deemed unaccaptable to risk management and security collectively termed Fun, Enjoyment or Pleasure."

 

[Parra]

Next time, get two mates and turn up dressed as the Ghost Busters

 

[Mr Saab]

tl;dr

Exactly...what the f**k was that useless pathetic rant.
Call Raaaaaaaaaaaay...he might listen to you.
Typical soufffffffffs fan....

 

[bobmar28]

Mate, what sport isn't? League administrators in any competition/code are always going to want to play matches at the best quality venues, as these venues generally offer the best facilities and amentities, which will enable their customers want to come back time and time again. Unfortuantely for ANZ, the stadium was built in the middle of nowhere. This will always come back to bite them in the arse when they try to attract crowds. Except for major events eg: Grand-finals, SOO, Socceroos games and even select Swans games, crowds are always gonna be sh*t. I think it's fair to say if the stadium was built in the city centre, or even where the current Moore Park sites are, that crowds would be significantly better.

You want a stadium near where you live so I have to travel 11/2 hrs to a game?

By the way this is a bit rich, ok it's a sh*t stadium but blaming a stadium for sh*t crowds?

 

[joshreading]

We nearly were not let into State of Origin a couple years ago because we had a sign that said 'we don't hate QLD mums, we only hate their sons' Obviously in reference to the drama with Tallis, I tell you it was like we were terrorists. I had this soft, pathetic guy trying to tell me 'hate is a little hard don't you think?' ITS ORIGIN!!! NO ITS NOT They sent it up to the boys up stairs as well, the whole line behind us was doing Video Ref signals and booing the pathetic nature of it all, INCLUDING QLDers.

We evetually got in but it was pathetic.

 

[Azkatro]

A bit off topic, but .. how hard would it be to get a secret task force together to stand at the gates for a game and actually count the number of punters that walk in? And then compare it with the actual crowd figure. I guess you'd be up against the toil of having to do it for several hours and then secondly try somehow to avoid the attention of staff at the ground.

Although if you had a counter for each gate, then one person for each gate plus one roaming so you could regularly "change shifts" from gate to gate to avoid attention, it might be possible.

 

[bluey]

Providing it is not personal there should be no problems with it, Most of these bureaucrats think they are coppers ,when in actual fact they just talk down to people who pay their bloody wages not even fit to be a ankle half of them.
Make some noise.

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

I'm not a fan, it's too sanitary, too expensive and too big for anything but SOO and semis.

I won't go back there in a hurry.

 

[TheBourbonBeast]

I wanna go to ANZ and take acid and wander the empty stadium getting in adventures and stuff.........

 

[Dutchy]

Brett.

You were evicted because they knew you were Gaddes.

Dude. If I seen you, I would run in the opposite direction.

Nutjob of the highest order.
