Seats at Allianz Stadium smashed/destroyed

[Andrew Walker]

Yep you are a goose . It's just wrong .If you can't see that then Christ I hope you don't breed

Out of interest have you been to the new stadium If you have you would surely have noticed how cheap and flimsy these seats are They are of a much poorer and weaker quality than previously It would not take much too break one or even thirty

Of course it’s wrong.

Police should be called, the persons who damaged the property should be charged and Sydney FC should be forced to pay for the costs and then recoup those costs from the guilty parties. But it’s not news worthy, why do you care about something so minor?

It’s what NewsLtd do so well, fool people into thinking that these are the news worthy events actually going on in our world at the moment. Rothfield is nothing more than a gossip columnist.

So excuse me whilst I’m being a goose and taking the piss out of the passing of 30 plastic chairs. My condolences to the stadium plastic chair community.

I care because it's as you say wrong .That's it . doesn't matter if it's a chair or a car or something of greater value .When people purposely bro damage to property they don't own then yes it does matter .Or at least it should

No I haven't
Of course quality would come into it but 30 broken seats seams extreme

No, I tried to when it all first kicked off but only lasted a few years.

I love football and really enjoy watching the EPL & Serie A but find no enjoyment in the A-league. It’s neither a breeding ground for young Australian talent or an enjoyable brand of football so it’s hard to get invested into it despite how much I love the game.

It’s just why get worked up over some plastic chairs? It’s really not that deep. I would be saying the same thing if it was about the Roosters, it’s just a reflection of outrage culture. It’s petty it’s small, it’s all a detraction from issues that actually matter. Don’t put any time or energy into it, Rothfield is a leech.

Hmm...I guess I don't quite get being more annoyed at the reporting of vandalism, rather than the vandalism itself. As I said before, strange.

Fwiw, I think it is minor newsworthy in the context of a brand new stadium with shared tenancy.

I haven't been able to find an article about it, but I did find an article about violence outside the stadium after the Sydney Derby and graffiti all over the foot bridge over Anzac Pde, and how the WSW supporters took over the road and blocked traffic from Central to walk to the stadium. They seem to have a real chip on their collective shoulder about 'owning' the city, etc.

The seats are easy to break, and there was a lot of trouble with them on opening night with people just sitting on them! I'm sure if you stand on them - as A-League supporter groups do - plenty of them would give way.

While were on the subject, to me the seating rows seem more squeezed in than the old stadium, with less leg room.

They seem to have problems with the seats at Allianz though- The seats could well have been faulty as I did notice on opening night some repairs being undertaken to some of the seats which were not affixed correctly.

My condolences to the stadium plastic chair community.

There must be more the league can do.
How about Manly dedicate their jersey to the misunderstood plastic chairs.................then all the fans who like soccer can boycott the game.

[horrie hastings]

I remember the second game after the SFS opened in 1988 against Souths and Steve Mavin dived over in the last seconds to win the game for Souths i kicked the seat in front of me in frustration and it went flying( i was sitting down in the south eastern corner virtually by myself ), the seats back then were better quality than the cheap plastic one there now, i really surprised myself and have never done it again.

It's mind numbing triviality at best. Distractions from real issues and genuine journalistic reporting that we should be demanding. Yes that's more annoying to me than a few broken plastic chairs.

I equally share in your dismay as to what's truly important so will just agree to disagree on this one.

Well that didn't take long...before soccer fans disgraced themselves.
Not 2 seats destroyed...30 seats have to be replaced.
Sydney FC will be sent the repair bill next week.

Buzz column.

Maybe FC should be more concerned with crowd control that an illuminated 'Sydney Roosters' sign.
Maybe FC should throw the tarps over violent soccer fans instead.

But rugby league's the disgraceful sport that nobody should watch.

Soccer's the 'world' game [cough cough - wog ball] that's played by 3rd generation Serbians/Croatians who fight each other for no reason [literally have no idea what they're fighting about] and wankaz who break seats. AFL just has refs doing alleged 'irregular betting' and a Brownlow Medallist going on ice-fuelled rampages, then selling drugs to people at rehab facilities. Oh yeah and they boo indigenous players into retirement... but that's 'not racist'.

I like how League's a bit simpler. Blokes occasionally get drunk and do stupid shyte. That's about it.

[NorfolkStreetKid]

Ohhh the outrage. Off with their heads.

[Johnny73]

If this happens again Sydney FC should be banned (or atleast suspended) from playing at the SFS.

How long will it be before one of these soccer halfwits starts another riot that escalates into a stampede and kills someone? Only last month in Indonesia over 100 people were killed in a soccer riot/stampede.

Hillsborough should have been the catalyst for a hard crackdown on soccer hooligans. The worst thing I've ever seen was a couple of plastic bottles being thrown or fat slag south supporters off their corpulent tits in the members.

What about the punch ups with Dogs fans on the other side of field (Chook pen side) in the 2000's.

Having been to a number of English First Division games in the 1980's /1990's it's as tame as nowadays in the Premier League as grounds are all seater with no Terraces. - They do separate the home fans from the away fans still though.

They certainly do have a lot of songs though for opposition teams and their supporters with many quite clever

Nottingham Forest have a fierce East Midlands rivalry with Derby County and Leicester City for instance.

Build a bonfire, Build a bonfire, Put the Derby on the top, Put the Leicester in the middle, And we'll burn the f*cking lot...

I remember going to an England vs Germany game at Wembley with a few of my relatives - Ten German Bombers got a real workout

They need similar type of songs at NRL games - booing the ref or opposition players is well past it's used by date.

A song about Souffs could include references to Centrelink and lack of dental care perhaps

Oh Lordy...was that San and Tray?
