NSW Police Call On Fans To Look Out For One Another This Grand Final Weekend

Saturday, 30 September 2023 9am

As Australia’s greatest interstate sporting rivalry continues, NSW Police are urging footy fans to keep the competition family-friendly and behave responsibly ahead of this weekend’s grand finals.

The Newcastle Knights will be battling for back-to-back premierships, at Accor Stadium, Sydney Olympic Park, as they take on the Gold Coast Titans in the NRLW Grand Final, kicking off at 3.55pm tomorrow (Sunday 1 October 2023).

The Penrith Panthers will follow, in an attempt to carve their name into the history books in pursuit of a premiership three-peat, taking on the Brisbane Broncos in the NRL Grand Final, scheduled for a 7.30pm kick-off.

Police will conduct a high-visibility operation, comprising officers from across the South West Metropolitan Region assisted by specialist police to ensure the safety and security of officials, players and the anticipated 80,000-plus spectators who will be in attendance.

Gates will open at 1pm for preliminary matches and entertainment, and those attending are urged to arrive early.

Security guards will assist police in targeting troublemakers, anti-social behaviour, and alcohol-related crime at the stadium, and to ensure all fans get to and from the stadium safely.

Assistant Commissioner Stuart Smith said the police operation aims to ensure everyone’s Grand Final experience is enjoyable, memorable and free from any anti-social or criminal behaviour.

“While we expect the passion and emotions of the spectators to be heightened, please remember to be considerate of others and cheer on your teams respectfully,” Assistant Commissioner Smith said.

“Those who choose to act inappropriately will be dealt with promptly; this could mean ejection from the stadium and/or banning notices, with fines, or even criminal charges.

“Fans need to be considerate of others during post-match celebrations and, whether your team wins or loses, there is no excuse for violence, intimidation, or anti-social behaviour.” Assistant Commissioner Smith said.

As temperatures are expected to soar this weekend, coupled with a try-scoring-fest, Assistant Commissioner Smith urges game attendees to drink responsibly, as we don’t want anyone missing out on the live action.

“To everyone celebrating across the state, please ensure you are drinking plenty of water, wear sunscreen and seek shade during the day.

“Drink responsibly, know your limits, and keep an eye on your friends,” Assistant Commissioner Smith said.

To assist in avoiding disruption and disappointment, spectators are urged to plan their trip ahead of time and utilise public transport services. All tickets include travel to and from Olympic Park on public transport.

Motorists driving to Sydney Olympic Park are reminded to book their parking in advance and allow plenty of travel time and expect significant delays, particularly around the venue before and after the match.

Assistant Commissioner Smith also encouraged ticketholders to check conditions of entry and allow plenty of time when entering the stadium.

NSW Minister for Jobs and Tourism John Graham, Minister for Sport Steve Kamper, Australian Rugby League Commission Chairman Peter V’landys AM and NRL CEO Andrew Abdo have announced the 2023 NRL and NRLW Telstra Premiership Grand Finals will be played at Accor Stadium on Sunday 1 October.

The ARLC and NSW Government have struck a one-year deal for this year’s Grand Finals, with continuing discussions to take place for matches beyond 2023.

Mr V’landys said it was important to give fans certainty.

“We have worked closely with the NSW Government to reach an agreement for the 2023 Grand Final,” Mr V’landys said.

“We are respectful of the new Labor Government’s priorities at the moment and their focus on the State budget, which is why we have agreed a short-term deal which gives all stakeholders certainty about this year’s Grand Final, and provides all parties the time required to continue discussions about a long-term partnership,” he said.

“I’d like to thank Premier Chris Minns and Ministers Steve Kamper and John Graham who have taken a pragmatic approach to reaching an agreement for this year’s Grand Final. We have a great partnership with the NSW Government and we are grateful for their support of rugby league.”

NRL CEO Andrew Abdo said tickets for the NRL and NRLW Grand Finals would go on sale on August 2.

“The NRL and NRLW Grand Finals represent the pinnacle of the best rugby league competitions in the world,” Mr Abdo said.

“This year’s NRL Premiership has been the closest in decades, delivering the fans the best sports entertainment experience in Australia. The closeness of the competition and unpredictability of results, along with four new teams in an expanded NRLW competition, has given fans of all Clubs an opportunity to see their team on Grand Final day.

“In addition to the Grand Finals at Accor Stadium, we will also have a Fan Festival in Sydney, which will be a great celebration of Rugby League and an opportunity for fans to show their colours and celebrate their team.

2023 NRL and NRLW Grand Finals

“We want to thank the NSW Government for again supporting the NRL and NRLW Grand Finals and working in partnership to deliver a week-long celebration of Rugby League in Sydney.”

NSW Minister for Jobs and Tourism John Graham said: “We all love a Grand Final, but this event has become so much more, making a big social and economic contribution to the State.

“This event attracts thousands of fans from interstate and overseas who also visit Sydney’s many attractions, enjoy shows and arts, eat and drink in our world-class restaurants, supporting jobs in the visitor economy.”

NSW Minister for Sport Steve Kamper said: “Sydney is the nation’s birthplace of rugby league and the heart of its passionate fans, so it is fantastic the NRL and NRLW Grand Finals are remaining in their homeplace once again.

“Rugby league fans will flock to Sydney and Accor Stadium will be abuzz with a capacity crowd on Grand Final day.”

The NRL and NRLW Telstra Premiership Grand Finals are proudly supported by the NSW Government through Destination NSW.

The British & Irish Lions at Accor Stadium

OFFICIAL: The British & Irish Lions Tour 2025 To Feature Wallabies Test At Accor Stadium On Saturday 2 August

  • The British & Irish Lions will tour Australia in 2025 and play the Wallabies in a Test match at Accor Stadium on Saturday 2 August – a potential Tour decider at Sydney Olympic Park in front of 80,000-plus fans.
  • The past two Lions Tours have generated huge international interest and both came down to a series finale at Accor Stadium.
  • The Lions, led by the world’s most-capped rugby player Alun Wyn Jones, won the 2013 series 1-2 after the great John Eales had led Australia to an unforgettable 2-1 series win here in 2001.
  • The British & Irish Lions Tour 2025 will feature nine fixtures, starting in Perth on 28 June 2025 and includes a match against NSW Waratahs at Allianz Stadium on Saturday 5 July 2025.

Rugby Australia and The British & Irish Lions have revealed the full fixture list for one of the largest and most prestigious Rugby events in the world, the 2025 Lions Tour.

The Tour will see the Lions play nine matches in Australia, with three Tests against the Wallabies, and six Tour games around the country – including a match against an invitational team of players from Australia and New Zealand in Adelaide.

The British & Irish Lions combine the best players from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, touring either Australia, New Zealand or South Africa every four years – meaning the Lions only visit Australia every 12 years.

The travelling festival is expected to attract 40,000 international visitors to Australia, who will tour around the country and deliver a strong economic outcome for all the participating cities, states, and territories.

The Lions Tour will be the first of the major Rugby events to visit Australia as part of the golden decade of Rugby; the 2025 Lions Tour will be followed by major Rugby events being hosted in Australia including the 2027 Rugby World Cup for men, the 2029 Rugby World Cup for women, and Rugby Sevens at the 2032 Brisbane Olympics.

Today’s announcement took place in Brisbane, exactly two years before the first Test between the Wallabies and Lions at Suncorp Stadium in the Queensland capital.

The second Test will be at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on 26 July, with the final Test match taking place at Accor Stadium in Sydney on Saturday 2 August.

The Tour will kick off in Australia on 28 June in Perth, with the Western Force hosting the visitors at Optus Stadium, before the Lions travel to the east coast to take on the Reds at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane on 2 July.

The tourists head south the following weekend with clashes against the Waratahs at Allianz Stadium in Sydney on 5 July and the ACT Brumbies at GIO Stadium in Canberra on 9 July. Adelaide Oval will host the final Tour game before the first Test, a marquee match-up between the Lions and an invitational Australia-New Zealand combined team on 12 July in what shapes up to be something of a “fourth Test” on the Tour.
