Without wanting to reignite the WDV debate, the same way the sandbaggers killed it for them, the thousands of people who use the wave to hurl rubbish in the air have ruined it for all.

I support this move from CA, if the crowd can't keep it at an appropriate level, stop it.

So why mention it in a topic that has nothing to do with it??


The ban of the Wave is no big loss.

Because it's a metaphor we all recognise, obviously.

Unfortunately there's always someone who takes it just that little bit too far and ruins it for everyone else.

It would be said to see it go, but not great loss

i like the mexican wave but now that people are throwing rubbish while they do it has ruined it for all espically when the rubbish they thorow has food or drink still in it!...theres nothing more annoying then getting hit in the head with a glass bottle (well some sporting venues dont have glass bottles anymore) and getting a pizza or softdrink all over you...it would be annoying having the job of cleaning the place after a mexican wave when they throw rubbish food and drink

Well I was at the 'G' last Sunday when the Mexican Wave was banned and really it didnt stop the wave from going round the ground. Yes i participated in the wave too so technically i am breaking the law so to speak.
Early in the game the crowd started, what i am guessing could be called the Australian Wave where people would stand and wave both arms frantically in the air across the ground to other people. In return they would do it back. When it caught on you could have 95% of the bottom level wave madly and it looked good.
Then the old BAY 13 area started into the wave and it would travel around the ground quite a number of times - WITH NOTHING BEING THROWN INTO THE AIR!!! As the match rolled on it began to getting a bit crazy with fights in the crowd, tonnes of people being thrown out for bringing their own alcohol in, sculling beers, throwing beachballs and occassionally for starting the wave!
The issue of throwing rubbish in the air really didnt arise til later in the game (presumably when everyone was really drunk) and u could see piles of empty cups, full bottles of water and so on being thrown.
So where is the issue???? The issue of throwing rubbish in the air during the wave or stopping people from getting drunk and acting like idiots????
