Umbrellas

[Costar]

Now for something really important ...

Umbrellas at football matches do not go well.  Yesterday as soon as the rain hit, up popped the umbrellas.  That's fine if you don't have one in front of you but totally and utterly f**cked if you do, and you were hoping to actually see down the line and watch the whole game.  And it's not just the ones in front of you either.  Yesterday the view was blocked left and right. 

Here's an idea if it's wet put a poncho on and have some f**cking consideration for the poor sods behind you.  Don't remember my membership saying 'valid to see the whole game except when it rains and then best of luck'.

God it pissed me off.

If there is a worse run stadium than BT, I dont know where it is (Suncorp possibly)

Wish they could outsource it to the SFS guys

At most stadiums they say you can't put up umbrellas - if that's not the case at Bluetongue then they're truly hopeless...

The people who can't even open food and bar services behind the away section for one of the bigger away groups there, no thankyou.

You are obviously completely f**king wrong too.

+1 on the umbrella rant.  Wear a poncho or go sit up the top of the bay.

 

[pommypete]

Just move to somewhere you can see,it's not like it was a packed house.

According to the seccies it is randomly open or closed. You would assume open would be melb/newy/us, closed the rest, so public holiday rates is very liekly.

FWIW, I was referring to the low profile, high quality of stewards/security at the SFS compared to BT.

It is on a sign outside the stadium.

 

[FFC Mariner]

There is also a sign that says bay 23 is reserved but the stewards ignore that too

. s'pose it doesn't help when you have those radio knobs walking around before the game saying how great the mariners umbrellas are (available from the merchandise marquee) and being shown on the big screen with their umbrellas up ... when it isn't even raining
