Parra to crack down on trouble makers
The Eels are determined not to allow the kind of trouble that erupted during last week's Bulldogs and Roosters clash, announcing tough new measures against trouble makers or anyone who throws anything on the field during a clash.
The club, in conjunction with Parramatta Police, has announced that anyone who throws objects onto the field will be immediately ejected and may also face on-the-spot fines and bans.
An Inspector Buckley was quoted in a press release as saying: "We will not tolerate criminal or anti social behaviour at sporting events at Parramatta Stadium. Police have been instructed to take action against these people by eviction from the ground. Offenders could face monetary fines or even arrest and court action. The Parramatta Eels have indicated its support to the police by enforcing bans on trouble makers."
Dennis Fitzgerald said that "there have been very few incidents in the 18 years that Parramatta Stadium has been operating. We are determined to ensure that the safety and security of spectators is maintained at all times."
