Could come in handy
Now if only some toughness could be injected into Staker.....
Wouldn't it be ironic if the padding cost $25K.....

Wouldn't it be ironic if the padding cost $25K.....You don't ban those who supported your opponent, you make them wallow in their loserdom by covering your victory! You sit them in the front row. You give them a hat! Toby Ziegler -

Padding?
Indeed.
What a pack of sheilas.
What about those people who have their seats in the first row? Do you think they'll get a bit narky because their view will now be obstructed by padding?
Good one.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

Apparently the Padding will reach from the fence to the boundary line. Just to be sure.Comment

If the AFL are in charge,and we know that they really dont give a rats about the Sydney Swans then dont be surprised if all the padding is made up of stacks of pool noodles tied together - I hear they are on special at Clark Rubber this week.I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

..And the Swans are the Premiers...The Ultimate Team...The Ultimate Warriors. They have overcome the highly fancied Hawks in brilliant style. Sydney the 2012 Premiers - Gerard Whately ABC

None too soon. Hall's head could have broken the fence!Comment

Is Hall going to sue over it?I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his timeComment

Well it would actually be a workers comp claim if you wanted to be really technical because he has suffered the substantial injury in the work place.
(I would dare say that QBE have come to the party there
)
there is a sound argument that there is fault with the sign and that its strength would have diminished over a period of time simply because they are removed and reinstalled on a regular basis, (to make way for the sponship signage when the NRL or Rugby play at the ground). It certainly shouldnt have snapped the way it did and they were really lucky that the bit that actually broke didnt dislodge and hit the bloke sitting behind it.
there are many other areas I could go into as to who could be joined and why in a legal case - but its way too early in the day to thrill you all with such riveting information!
However - I will be following up the Swans on the lack of hand rails in the upper deck of the MA Noble stand - I wrote to them in Nov 06 and told them that there was a problem in that the steps are so steep that you see people come a cropper constantly - the steps are normally soaked with beer by quarter time because the chances of spillage are higher so they then become slippery. My shoulder is sometimes used as a handrail for people who over balance or have trouble getting up and down etc. I indicated to the club that as the major tenant of the ground they had a responsibility to bring these problems to the attention of the SCG trust. I was informed that they had a meeting and area inspection and so whilst it has been brought to the attention of the trust, they have yet to do anything about it. Its called good risk management to check these things, so hopefully the trust will extract the digit and take the opportunity to fix the problem whilst the construction phase at the ground is going on - but I wont hold my breath!
I really think it will take someone to suffer a substantial injury before they do anything about it.Last edited by Wardy; 1 May 2008, 08:36 AM.I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

Write to the SCG on your work letterhead. Coming from an insurance company they may well @@@@ themselves and do something about it.Does God believe in Atheists?Comment

Oh its ok - I wrote to them on Letterhead ,and made the point that if their existing brokers/risk management advisers were doing their job propertly they should have brought the matter to their attention too!. I received a very detailed response and phone calls to discuss - although I think the guy thought I was having a bit of a dig at their risk management practices - which I was, but it is a serious matter. They threw the old chestnut at me that the steps " complied with building standards at the time of construction" well that was what 30-40 years ago? Standards have changed considerably since then and the Trust are still responsible for the area and must maintain the area and render it safe - well its not. So once the construction on the other side of the ground has completed and if they still havent put the rails in (similar to those on the upper deck at ANZ Stadium) I'll be Mrs Mangle and write to them again.Last edited by Wardy; 2 May 2008, 06:50 AM.I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

This is even worse than the SCG goalpost padding fiasco!
