Die-hard Bronco fans were warned to refrain from throwing bananas at last night’s NRL game.
Suncorp Stadium, the venue where Thursday night’s Broncos and Storm clash took place, warned fans not to throw bananas during the game.
Bronco fans had been urged to throw bananas in a heartful tribute to forward Tom Flegler who is shortly leaving the team. Flegler’s family owns a banana farm in the North Queensland town of Tully.
Suncorp Stadium objected to the initiative and warned fans to think about the “enjoyment of all patrons”.
Whilst fans may have been unable to throw bananas for Flegler, it didn’t stop them dressing up as bananas/
