Liverpool tour issues

Post by Stich This »

Heard at todays wa- metro game a rumour that investigations are about to take place regarding
Liverpools visit to Australia. Some promotional aspects and deals are being put under microscope.
Wide- ranging involvement including locals apparently to be questioned.
The guy telling me is usually on the money, but he did say its only second- hand info so he himself
has his doubts.
Has anyone else heard similar?

Would this be the same bitter individual continually bagging the Government and the FFSA despite the help they have given to his club?
Now, if you're lucky, you could hack through your ankle in five minutes.

Relatives & friends keep wondering if spare tickets might come up for the Adelaide Oval game 'tween A.U. and Liverpool.

It's very much a long shot, but would it be feasibly out of the question to open up more seats to the game by placing say, kids in the quadrants behind each goal and each mid-pitch sidelines? Those areas between the OVAL-shaped perimeter and the advertising hoardings that will be placed in a rectangular shape around the soccer-football pitch.

Bunnings chairs could be placed on those expanses of grass in those quadrants, staggered with a space between each chair so that people in the next row behind would have more of a view. Tall kids in the back rows, shorter youngsters in the front rows. Parents/Guardians of those kids could view the game on the giant Plaza screens at the southern side of the Oval near Memorial Drive and collect their kids after the game.

Imagine the goodwill publicity for the game if this gesture to young fans to experience that special atmosphere was to come to pass. And it would surely set a total attendance record for a sport at Adelaide Oval that would be unbeatable.

Great idea Con but, unfortunately, it won't happen as it would require too much effort for the SMA to organise. :cry: :oops:

It's clear you have no idea about safety and stadium licensing do you?

I guessed some here would come up with why it can't be done rather than why it could.

Yeah, those dangerous kids on the grass would be a really big security issue, what with the rectangular-shaped advertising hoardings between them and the precious players on the pitch.

Didn't seem to be such a big security deal with Stones Concert fans on seats on the grass, did it?

And forget the licensing thing - the S.M.A. for ALL South Australians is powerful enough to overcome all that.

Try and imagine the headlines and coup - Kids accommodated and all-time record crowd set for the People's Oval! And not even for an Aussie Rules game...

As I said you have no idea about such matters do you. Maybe you would have liked to be involved with the AO operations meetings with LFC 2 weeks ago when such things like safety and the game day were discussed?

I'm sorry do you have a point or is this just another attempt to take to thread off topic?

To be fair to Con, he was just making a suggestion and did implicitly acknowledge that it may not be feasible. He was thinking outside the square, so to speak,
and it's not as ridiculous as you make it sound.

No need to get them in a knot.
Obviously nothing gets done willy nilly.
Is the game being played tomorrow?
You make it seem like you were the main man responsible for getting Liverpool
out here.

Since being in Australia I have realised that nothing gets done quickly, so any new license would take a thousand meetings, papers and laws to be passed.

Yep I got them here it's all my doing and my money.
