The 'official' was a security guard contracted by Adelaide. Not sure how many times that needs to be said.

Well if that is what Adelaide said... all others with information about it must be wrong!

Why are they allowing these kids footy matches on the sanfl grounds in these conditions?
Common sense sanfl....ffs... this is stuffing uo the grounds

Feel free to contact West Adelaide FC if you need more clarification

MW wrote:It has been confirmed that the Crows official was a sub contracted security guard. This was confirmed from both sides. Do we need a statement from the security company as well? Does the security guard need to hold a press conference?

But if he was employed solely to provide security to the Crows players and officials what the hell was his concern with some excessive noise?

You'll have to ask him

Without the kids the future of the SANFL is vey bleak too say the least.

I don't know the full story in this but I think it's pretty easy to see what has more than likely happened.
Adelaide Security bloke who probably doesn't follow footy is irritated by banging on the fence signs, mentions it in passing to someone else off his own back, this is then relayed to a West official and then the jump is made that it's an offical complaint from Adelaide.
Gucci gets wind of it and flogs himself raw over it as do people on here and social media.
It's very easy for this not to involve any lies from anyone but a series of Chinese whispers from something that wasn't actually anything.
As mentioned before, the narrative feeds many stereotypes and agendas that are easily fuelled.
If I put myself in Adelaide's shoes I ask myself what they gain from said complaint, what the recoil would be and why the f*** they'd even care in the first place.
It is just so blindingly moronic to think that this really happened as presented by Gucci and other idiots.

Is there any history of alleged Crows entourage complaining about loud barracking of rival clubs before?

Which part of what?

Look for what its worth, a couple of crows supporters complained to the security guard and asked if he could tell the cheer squad to stop banging on the fence. The security guard went to some WAFC official in the stands and asked if they could tell the cheer squad to stop banging. Well from there it all got blown out of proportion by WAFC, Adelaide Advertiser and everyone else who wanted to add their two bobs worth.

Mountain out of a mole hill. Lets just get on with round 14 and hopefully the Sturt cheer squad can continue the fence banging, so that we can have something to talk about again on here after round 14.

You've been quite ansty in here and surprisingly, I guess, in the main about any negativity towards Adelaide.

Why are you so angry about this discussion?

Not sure if you've read my posts. Anything but angry mate.

Would ultra defensive be more accurate?

I wouldn't think so. Just presenting facts rather than chinese whispered rumours

Rucci is a click bait specialist. That's what he was intending and that's almost always what he is intending. Maybe his direction is to do that for a few more click throughs, maybe he is just bit of a wanker, maybe a bit of both. But in the end that's what he does.

Regardless it doesn't matter, I would suggest the Sturt crowd and cheer squad will go out of there way to be a bit noisy to say the least.
