What the hell is with all the idiots in Bay 13?
I mean they are just stupid, it was funny at times, but when you notice the fact that they hardly even care whats going on in the cricket, and are just bagging supporters, calling police ****ers for taking their beach ball etc. you realise just how much of an idiot every one of them really is.
And it reflects badly on the whole of the MCG crowd when it is claimed that the stadium is the worst behaved in Australia.
Why dont they just learn to support their team and stop causing trouble?
232 arrests in one night is just over the top.
Grow up!

Why are so many people against others having a good time? No one gets hurt when u throw water and plastic cups in the air, so why the big fuss??? If anyone starts throwing hard objects then I would complain, but for crying out loud, all this fuss over water and paper!!!! Whenever I go to the cricket I sit there with all my mates and we have a great time. Not for a second have I ever been the slightest bit concerned for my safety. No one throws anything that could hurt in the air, so it's not really a problem. If u don't like it, u don't have to sit there. Or better still, listen to the game on the radio...

Hawkfan5,
Yep, couldn't agree more and one wonders why they spend their $20 or $30 to go to the games when they're not really interested in the game and for that matter where they're actually getting $20 or $30 from looking at the lack of intelligence from "some" of them!!

Do you walk into shops and start throwing water & paper in the air ?
Do you walk into McDonalds & start throwing water & paper in the air ?
Do you go to the tennis & start throwing water & paper ?
If you don't do it any of those,why do it at the cricket ?

Thats exactly right I always sit in that area and have only ever seen one person hurt and that was 4 or 5 years ago and was because someone off the top deck was throwing stuff.The people sitting there do care about the result they just want to have a bit of fun to.If you go to the cricket and you know the bay 13 area are going to be like that then why would you sit there.

On the spot fines, and stricter bag searches are new security measures that will take place. I am not sure if that will start this season, or next season. The ACB also want to discuss with the state government about the possibility of increasing fines for people who run on to the ground. I also believe that their has been talk of not selling wines or spirits at bay 13 anymore, and not allowing anyone to buy anymore than 2 light beers at a time. At the moment, you can buy four beers at a time. And if things don't improve, they may not sell any light beer at all at bay 13.

I was sitting their, and it will never happen again. I will not put up with drunks throwing Orange juice, and beer at me in the future. Would they get away with this if it was in the streets? If not, then why should they get away with it at the Cricket?
what exact part of the Southern Stand is bay 13????

I reckon they go too far....they are funny for the majority of the time. But for the last hour or so it gets bad. I don't mind water...but other stuff like beer or coke getting on my clothes is NOT good. I reckon the police go too far as well. They kick out ppl for not handing over the damn beach ball for crying out loud. Its stupid and it annoys the crowd. Not that i've been to the cricket this summer...yet.

Wel not selling light beer won't do anything, what I was suprised that they were selling mixed drinks (which are 4.9% alcohol) at $6.50 a pop on Friday night, and they (the bay 13 people) were skulling them down like nobodies business.
The first thing that I would do is, to ban the sale of drinks over %3.00 alcohol, and have the right to refuse entry to those who appear drunk, and have proper bag searches and increased camera surveillence.
I was at the game and that break was really annoying because it left us with nothing to do but stare at the grass whilst these non-cricket loving ********s throw stuff around.
I know that one-day cricket for the most part attracts a younger, more working class audience and to say that they should become like a tennis crowd is unreasonable because the type of people who would go and watch the tennis, wouldn't go and see one-day cricket, but they need to be pulled into line quickly

These people are not real cricket fans. They probably have never played the game before because If they did, they would appreciate the game and want to watch quality cricket. They are just tag-along/cash-in's louts who are there for the social aspect with friends.

Should their so called 'fun' be allowed to ruin it for others.
I feel the same about England's so called 'Barmy Army'. The last time I was at a home Test I sat through 3 hours of monotonous, tuneless 'chanting'. I asked one of them, politely, if he wouldn't mind being quite for just a few minutes (to great support from many around me) he replied "II'm just having a good time" I suggested it didn't sound like it.
You can support your team without resorting to banal and boorish behaviour.

What a crock of ****. I've sat in Bay 13 every game for the last 5 years and Im not an idiot. I go there and chant and have a ****ing unreal time.
About 10 people got kicked out of Bay 13 each one dayer, which was the same as most of the Southern Stand. I don't think some of u dicks even know where Bay 13 is. Most of the people in Bay 13 don't even know they're there. Theres about 20 regulars and none of us ever get kicked out. We swear and have fun, but to say everybody in Bay 13 is an idiot is totally ****ed
Bay 13 helps make the MCG One Dayers the most exciting cricket matches in the world
One more thing, the main problem causers are the Mexican waves. They usually start with try hard ********s in bay 12 or bay 14. And the people who are regulars in Bay 13 do not even throw beach balls. They kill them. Beach balls poke your eyes out

Can't stand the Poms, but there's nothing wrong with singing. Throwing rubbish during the wave is a problem, but if they just want to sing they're not hurting anyone. Or should it be like the tennis where they don't play until there's complete quiet?

If u don't like what they do in Bay 13, simple, don't sit there. That part of the ground fills up first, so there's no excuse for being there if ur not interested in having some fun whilst the game is on...

How can u bag Bay 13 when u don't even know where it is???????????
It is one bay: M11. And genius, why do u think its at M11?? Have a guess. Surprisingly, Its because its in the same place as the original Bay 13
And Im glad Im not a MCC member,so I dont turn into a bitter old bastard like u

Flying egg, your post says it all. You cannot even get through a couple of sentences without swearing. So you have an (expletive deleted) unreal time? Bet the people around you don't (apart from your moron mates)

The_Flying_Egg,
Are you being serious???
Look, the bottom line is that when you ruin it for other people, that is crossing the line & why should that be tolerated?? Personally, I dont have any issues with you having fun, as long as it doesnt affect my fun as well. Most people go to an event like the cricket to actually watch the game, but I understand that some people go for the social aspect, which is fine as long as people who want to see the game are able to, uninterupted, untouched, and not abused for doing so.
When people (and I'm not singling anyone out as it's only a select few idiots who ruin it for everybody) throw things in the air, why should someone else put up with it all over them??? You wouldn't accept it if I poured drink all over you in a social occasion so why would anyone else???
The plain & simple fact is that some people have abused & taken advantage of being able to do these fun things & for that they are now taken away. When will these people learn??

Ok i went to both cricket games so far in melb this year and both times i have sat in bay 13 and im not an idiot at all
The real trouble makers are the ones in like the bays around bay 13, they try so hard to live up to bay 13 but instead be idiots bout it, there are so many people who get kicked out cause the police throw them out for standing up these days, its so stupid... the police do need to settle down a bit and then maybe they wouldn't have to complain bout so many people being chucked out...
i like cricket and i watch it all the time and i care bout the result and stuff but u can't just go to the cricket for the whole match and watch it, u gotta have some fun!!!!

That came from Bay 11 or 12. And that was one person, not an entiore bay.
Bay 13 helps make the games more exciting because like it or not, people go to One Dayers to have fun and one of the reasons One Dayers have a reputation for being fun is because of Bay 13.
Everybody blames everything that goes wrong on Bay 13, which is complete rubbish. People throw stuff in the air in the Olympic stand. People get kicked out all round the Southern Stand. People fight in the Ponsford Stand. Bay 13 is used as a scapegoat

The_Flying_Egg,
Noone is singling anyone out, but assuming you do join in the throwing stuff in the air, you only have yourselves to blame for why the mexican wave has been banned and alcohol has been restricted. If people didn't abuse or take advantage of being allowed to do things that are fun and entertaining, we would all be still allowed to do them.
You'll find most people go to the cricket to have fun but the majority of people are sensible enough to show respect to others around them while still having a good time.
BTW, as far as I know, the players are the ones that make the games exciting, and if you think otherwise then you're kidding yourself.
SeinDude
So the other bays all have Bay13 envy hey!!
It's just that when there is talk of matches not even being played there or that they wont sell beer to people that everyone has to look at how they behave as individuals.
It isn't fair to stereotype everyone who sits in a certain area of the ground, but if people want to have the cricket in Melbourne, they at least have to behave LEGALLY.

I never said it was the crowd that made the games exciting, I said it contributed to the excitement of one dayers and it does.
And secondly, I along with 90% of Bay 13 don't throw stuff in the air during Mexican waves. And can I say again that if you knew Bay 13 well, you would know that Bay 13 does not even start Mexican waves. Occasionally a couple of kids might try too, but the regulars don't join in and Mexican waves are never started from there
Im not defending the people that throw stuff in the air, but Im saying that is definetely a minority and that the people in Bay 13 should not be blamed for everything that goes wrong. Last year when Warne had to come out on the ground coz of the stuff on the ground, the papers blamed Bay 13, when the whole thing started coz the Indians were unhappy about the scoreboard messing up a third umpiring decision. They threw stuff on the ground to protest the decisions and the papers said Bay 13 and surrounding areas were to blame.

I can't understand why the Bay 13 regulars are complaining when other people refer to bay 13. when they say bay 13, they are generally talking the whole lower deck of the Southern stand from the start to about he sightscreen. You will find that is where most of the 'troublemakers'.
I think the people who sit in that general area and complain shouldn't be sitting there. There's a whole lot more ground to sit at rather than to sit in that area and not expect your good time to be disrupted by hooligans.
