Saintsational Fan Forum - A passionate community of St Kilda Football Club fans discussing news, history, players, trade rumours, results, AFL stats and more.
Restrictions placed on the Victorian clubs include:
>>>>>>>>
A LIMIT of 10 minutes for non-commercial airtime and five minutes’ commercial airtime from when gates open.
NO club personnel in the scoreboard production team.
COSTS incurred for the placement and removal of temporary signage.
A $5000 additional clean-up cost at Etihad Stadium if clubs use paper products for promotional purposes.
THE prohibition and risk of fines if anything (such as footballs or T-shirts) is thrown or propelled into the crowd — as routinely happens in other sports.
AFL sign-off on any activity outside normal practise.
How great would it be if there wasn't that airtime limit! Then the club could bombard us with more inane crap while we're having a quiet moment waiting for the game to start.

You miss rhe point.
Ww have no control over the scoreboard at all.
We need sponsors, we nees money. It may be more annoying for some but better for others, and may generate extra income.
It's about choice also. If the clubs get more matchday control and abuse it and the match day experience is ruined then they should back off.
i am Melbourne Skies - sometimes Blue Skies, Grey Skies, even Partly Cloudy Skies.
I'd be happy if gee whiz you beaut scoreboard could actually keep up with the action and provide minute details like displaying the name of a player who has just kicked a goal. For both sides.
Does that mean we oay for that idiot James Sherry flogging Saints gear even though he doesn't barrack for StIikda?

A $5000 cleanup fee for paper promotional products ?
That's 200 manhours X $25 per hour to pick up a few extra Lenny signs or
Riewoldt masks, over areas in the stands that the cleaning contractors
WOULD HAVE BEEN GOING OVER ANYWAY.
I say - the Cheer Squad should get back to ripping up phone book pages
and unleashing them in the goal square at the first bounce.
Just the once, for old times sake.

Bring back Russell Morris.
It does now. The LED advertising boards behind the goals bring up the player who kicked the goal and thier basic stats (Goals, Marks, Kicks Disposals)
How much more would it cost NOT to have that F'wit James Sherry yelling mindless rubbish at us?
Yes - Russell Morris was good.
Also like his Saints radio show he used to do on Sunday nights around 10 (?) years ago.
The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!
