    Hi-Vis on Saturday night!

    Just watching Rugby HQ. Kearns and Kafer unimpressed with wearing gear!

    But, Kearns comment about the attempt to beat the World record hi vis crowd would have to be Qantas club on a Sunday morning isn't far wrong.

    Are you going to wear hi-vis over your Blues on Saturday night?

    We found a great use for a couple of the members hats collected over the years. Cut the logos out and sewn onto old work shirts. Couldn't face going to a game without wearing the logo.

    I dispise the vis culture that has become Perth.

    the class catagories have gone from blue collar - white collar
    to blue collar - white collar - vis.

    anyways, Ill probably stuff a vis vest into the pocket of my blue suit jacket, and if needs be, I can don it to assist with whatever this world record attempt is. But dont plan on wearing it voluntarily.

    Surely won't beat the amount of people standing around doing nothing on the Mitchell Freeway most evenings, lots of Hi-Vis seems to equal little work.

    I agree with you, a hi vis vest in the pocket it is.

    RugbyWA were told by Nib on Thursday afternoon that any hi vis that looked like security would be asked to remove before entry which is why all the last minute sms messages, either way a pretty sad idea IMHO. How about getting everyone to wear blue instead

    I think it fell about 200 short officially.

    It took so long to get organised; if they'd started letting folks onto the pitch after ~5-10 minutes it might have encouraged a few others in the stands to join in.

    As it was, I was still in the East stand 15 minutes after the match and could see the people corralled next to the West stand, with the staff starting to throw tabards into the gathered crowd for people who hadn't brought their own. Really didn't feel like joining into the crush and then the subsequent stampede onto the pitch once they opened the gates.

    By not trusting folks to be on the pitch a second before everything was ready, I reckon they lost a lot. Treat people like kids and they'll behave as kids; treat them like adults and they'll behave (mostly) like adults!

    I hung around chatting to my brother after the game until after the attempt and the whole thing was laughable.

    A handful of people escaped out the back to the northen end because they didn't want to wait around anymore
