They didn't let me bring Maccas in the other week. Maccas is a Raiders sponsor, it should be encouraged.

That's a bit strange.

No packaged outside food

So if you wanted maccas youd need to pack it in a lunch box

Oh, so if he'd thrown it in his bag it would have been sweet.

I wonder what's brought on the new increased security measures. Think we only have one crazy Serb in Schifty and he's been on his best behaviour for years.

Damn Schifty

Exactly who we should be blaming for this too.

[simo]

Has anyone heard from bigcheese lately?

[Woodgers]

I wonder if it is some reaction to the bloke that ran on after the Titans game and then jumped back over the fence with his mate preventing security grabbing him. I reckon they're still chasing that bloke.

[Bay53]

It will be a reaction to what happened in Paris with the bombs Outside the Stade de France.

A number of other venues are doing it.

[cat]

they "got him" outside the stadium on the path to Dryandra but dont think they could do anything cause it was outside GIO grounds lol

I read the notice as it was in reaction to something the government/ police have said to do............ but i'm not worried its the sharks v raiders!

not like its a keith urban concert at GIO- but wait its coming

I think strictly speaking that wouldn't be allowed either but they are no going to open up
Wrapping to see if it is a roll made by grandma or a Big Mac.

Can't quite see how a metal detector would have prevented this. Unless they had chased him with it a beat him over the head!!!

For what it's worth he got absolutely annihilated by security when he turned back around under the Eastern stand.

Disgraceful lies to try hault a political campaign with freign train like momentum.

Freign train, that's something that someone who needs more than just a metal detector check would say.

Says the person with a 20+ years association with me...

[Arnie]

I hope this doesn't mean they will stop me from bringing my drum through the gates.

They've denied me entry many times before despite the club encouraging my presence with it.

[Raider Bell]

I would say it seems pretty clear they won't let it in, Arnie.

[cat]

why??

If you have a problem I would go to the members window, entry and just talk to them

I get the feeling its more about preventing illegal or dangerous stuff in thus the metal detectors

I remember there used to be a bass drum at raiders games about 3-4 years ago but haven't heard it since. I don't know if it was you, but it was awesome (maybe cos I'm a drummer). More broadly it helped build the atmosphere as raiders (or perhaps league) fans are generally quiet. Bring back the drum!

If this security measure is about terrorism then drums should be allowed

My cover is blown, not just a coincidence that I'm not around every time you get checked.

Drums are the absolute worst. Just cheer the team!

That's the problem, raiders fans are generally quiet = we need the drums!

They're not quiet at all, provided the team gives them something to cheer. Drums are the most intensely annoying thing at a football game. It is a poor cover for lack of genuine atmosphere.

[Shano]

we are often out cheered by opposition teams, particularly Sydney teams. Anything to build atmosphere has to be good

[Green_Hammock]

The drum is great! Adds atmosphere and gets the team going.

Was going to say that when GE said drums are the most annoying!

So annoying through the TV, I can only imagine how painful it would be sitting in the crowd!

The Panthers fans brought a drum and a mic and speaker a few years back.. **** that was annoying
