NRL Round 4: Rabbitohs vs Panthers tonight, and more this weekend on Nine
@ajsadauskas@pixelfed.social A bit more on this forgotten moment of Australian sporting history:
"It was pandemonium. About 15,000 people were at Parramatta Leagues club and its immediate surrounds. Players were lifted from the team bus into the club by elated fans.
…
"The fence pickets that weren’t souvenired had been piled together to make a bonfire.
…
"The fence pickets went up. The grandstand, a wooden heap built in the 1930s, soon followed. The scoreboard at the southern end was ablaze. It was a fibro structure set on two metres of brick with a clock on top, which a group of men tried feverishly to rip free for a keepsake before giving up and leaving it to burn.
"The goalposts were added to the bonfire, after one fan tried to climb to the top of them to get a flag. The man was still atop one pole as they fell, yet ran away and into legend. Advertising hoardings were ripped free and torched, taking chunks out of the fence.
…
"Firemen and police eventually broke up the party. When they returned the next day, Cumberland Oval was a smouldering ruin, the grandstand a charred carcass."
And that's why there's a statue of a bus in the main town square in Parramatta.
