I think those same guys were out the front of the stadium after the game abusing people as they went past with security doing nothing about it.

Regarding the "you suck" chant, the club has, as I understand it, tried to get the chant focused on the opposition rather than the referees. Unfortunately when the visitors have done something wrong, it's usually when they're in defense and we're about to shoot free throws or in-bound the ball.

I like the track and a chant because it involves the crowd, but I wonder if it couldn't be "SIXERS" instead of "YOU SUCK". My girlfriend was yelling out "GREAT JOB" in its place. Haha.

Get "SIXERS" or "DEFENSE" in there and it could be a bit more anthemic and useful in a couple more situations than being directed at the refs.

Or another one would be to replace the country boy song for Rees' entrace with the chant of "REESY". That'd fire him up, surely?

I saw those guys too, they were about 4 metres from where i sit .

Their behaviour was pretty ordinary for most of the night , until the 3rd qtr when "the lady" turned around and told them to settle down. Big mistake IMO , they did not take kindly to that and taunted her for a few mins.
She later called security over, and they did nothing the first time.

Then when the game got a bit heated one of the idiots ran over to the advertising panels and nearly knocked it onto the court ! Then security woke up and asked 3 of the 7-8 guys to leave. They were the smaller "younger" of the group. The others told the chief of security to F off and the stand-off began. It went something like this:

Security Guy With No Neck " Oy mate you guys are being asked to leave"

Burly,rowdy spectator " oy mate , im not going anywhere. Theres 2.21 on the clock piss OFF"

Security Guy With No Neck gets on walkie talky , another Security Guy comes over " oy mate you guys are outta here, get up now or we'll move you"

Burly ,rowdy spectator " Im not moving mate , F-OFF get her (the lady) out of here, she's the problem "

The game finished and someone in the group threw a drink at the lady ( i did not see who, only the result) and security are back on the court as if nothing has happened. Pretty piss poor.

These guys probably deserved to be booted much earlier than some of them were, as one of them was obviously trying to get on FOX with his t-shirt " BIGGEST C*NT in ADELAIDE" , which security made him remove just before the first break.

Many Black Douglas? Cans later - the incident alluded to above !

The most disappointing thing for me was that i knew a couple of the guys sitting there (not the main protagonists, these guys are active members of the basketball community from one club ) and they let this crap go on.

I ended up watching more of the incident in the last 3-4 mins of the game than the action on court . Which is sad.

Did someone boob throw a bottle onto the court when the fight broke out (between Roberts and Rees)

"fans" who are asked to leave for behavioural issues and refuse should be banned. Security were between a rock and a hard spot as to force the issue would have started a brawl BUT by not resolving it to the satisfaction of patrons around will not encourage bums on seats. Immediate ban for the persons failing to comply with instructions is required.

there was a plastic cup thrown toward the court, it didnt quite make the court, but landed on the floor, it was thrown from the Nth Eastern corner where we sit, but didnt see who threw it.

the "owners" of the corporate box, should be held responsible for the behaviour of their guests, although i have since heard that the trouble makers DID NOT HAVE CORPORATE TICKETS...if so why were they allowed to sit there. If the lady has been assaulted (drink thrown on her) then the sixers may have some real problems on their hands, as from what i saw the security people left her with no assistance or protection from these idiots.

Boys will be boys!

That & the always reliable "they were drunk" excuse. Couple those two together & you've got a rock-solid defence.

We'll be back in a moment with Judge Judy

hopefully sixers management are acting and a)apologising to the lady concerned and b)banning the person(s) involved. The silence is deafening. btw what is the legalities of the security personnel manhandling such persons to leave the stage and at what point would they involved police and the person involved be facing disorderly behaviour or some similar police offence. Is there a "fail to leave public arena when lawfully requested by management" charge???

Life is short - play hard
