Complaint about security on sunday


ucanchoose

Recommended Posts

I'm looking for a way to complain about the behaviour of the security guards on the top level of the ponsford stand last sunday. Anybody have any ideas.

If they were bad, I'd suggest sending an email to all of the Mcc, MFC, att Jim Stynes, (as he's our rep to the AFL & other bodies) & also THE AGE, att Caroline Wilson, as she is the type to follow up these things.

Was there fighting on the top level ponsford stand? I think what happened with the security last Sunday is that they were all at the Punt Rd end, between the Richmond Cheer Squad and the Grog squad, where they need high numbers.

No there wasn't, don't know what the problem is but we were under scoreboad, peaceful as anything we had a row of Toigs supporters in front of us, so we made sure we made a lot of noise....didn't hear or see any problems

It wasn't the end of the world, really, but is sure annoyed me, and more importantly, my wife, here's an excerpt of my email

Anyway on Sunday the two security guards posted in this section would not allow anybody to stand behind the black barrier and watch the game. In fact they weren't even allowing people to stand there and make a phone call to meet up with friends, or for one distressing group, allow tourists who were obviously from another country to stand there for a couple of minutes and take a photo of the ground while the action was taking place. My wife was told to sit down or move, while watching the children who were walking around the unused bar area. There behaviour was quite abrupt and in my opinion and others in the area way over the top. It was actually distressing some people.

Cool got it now, had similar myself in the past, called 'Jobsworth", "sorry mate you can't do that more than my jobs worth", it is an unfortunate by product of the times we live in that we have to have security everywhere.......they only know heavy handed, because polite does not work with drunken idiots.......although that is no excuse for their rudeness in different situations

The very best you'd get from the AFL boss is "I'll forward this on to the appropriate department", but I suspect you'd just get no answer. It's not his job to deal with any and every gripe people have. There's a chain of command for a reason.

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
