Worst half time "entertainment"

They used to do a PlayStation SingStar challenge at halftime at Newie games. Listening to Gene Krupa (the forummer, not the drummer) ruin songs was pretty bad.

Dean's going to have to use some creative license on this bread story I think. Maybe even turn it into a motion picture.

Kiddies chasing a greased pig at 1/2 time is the way to go.

Especially at a Chooks game.:crazy:

I thought we had reached a new low at the ANZAC day game when 2 people were out in the middle and who ever did the most steps in 1 min won 1k. If your imagining 2 people running around in circles as fast as they can you are spot on.

But seems like it's been 'beaten' tonight. 2 people from either end run to get a footy from the middle. Someone breaks his leg and another person dislocates their shoulder. Doubt they will bring that one back.

What's the worst you have seen? The catching the footy, the huge bowling ball and pins, kick the footy into the back of the ute and u8s footy are tried classics and always slightly hold my attention.

That's sounds like the opposite of worst!

I recall 2 separate versions of halftime entertainment at the Gong in particular.
The first was a daytime fireworks display.
The second had John Jansen sitting on a chair in the middle of the field getting his head shaved for charity.

I'm surprised that clubs still have this kind of half time entertainment.

The Raiders ditched their half time crowd participation events years ago because too many people were taking legal action against the club.

The most spectacular of them all was a Canberra Milk promotion where a player would put up a bomb and the participant had to catch it in a milk crate. It was a bit out of reach for one bloke so he dived for it and landed awkwardly on his head, fully outstretched. The guy suffered some kind of spinal injury and couldn't work afterwards, so he put in a compensation claim. His daughters put in a claim for witnessing the event, and the wife (who wasn't there) put in a claim for allegedly suffering a mood adjustment disorder, or some shit, as a result of having to deal with the aftermath.

There was another guy who put in a claim as a result of whiplash after being sent airborne by the giant inflatable footy.

The one that put a stop to it, however, was when some woman who represented Australia in volleyball at the Olympics put in a compensation claim because she hurt her shoulder in a celebrity pass the ball competition. According to her the Raiders were at fault because they didn't teach her how to pass a ball properly beforehand.

Oh, and she put in the claim nine years after the injury was supposedly sustained - which didn't stop her from competing in the Olympics three months after she sustained it.

Where there is blame,there is a claim.

And yes,there are professional litigious types in this world spurred on by the legal eagles of the day.

Take for instance,a person could be a regular in a hotel,but has a tendency to provoke ill feeling between him and whatever party in the hope that the other guy has a pop at him physically and hey presto,instant damage suit.

Does happen,gotta be careful.
