Hearing chants as a in unison was annoying, All the rugby fans wanted was just to watch the rugby team play the game. I had got taken out of school early to watch the Hamilton Game in the year of 1981.It was a cold day with strong winds. Clouds everywhere in sight with people stacked in every corner of my eye.
The protesters walked into the middle of the rugby field demanding the game to stop to try and get the chant they said in to our heads!. There were two different chants they said
1 " 1 2 3 4 we don't want no racist tour"
2 " Remember Soweto remember"
We were throwing cans at them to get off the field so the game could continue but they weren't budging. Outside of the stadium they were minor people with head injuries with blood dripping from their head but that's what happens if you want to fight the police and disobey them.
The game never went on the protesters got what they wanted and stop the Hamilton game, but if they had of let the game go on the would of been no head injuries and no can throwing towards the protesters. The stadium could of been much cleaner without can all over the field.
