Footy fans become sick due to serious leak in MCG toilets before Brisbane-Collingwood clash

Patrons at the MCG fell ill and began vomiting before the Brisbane-Collingwood match after a serious leak in stadium toilets left a foul smell across parts of the ground. 7NEWS Sport reported the leak and said the odour permeated sections of the venue, causing some attendees to throw up prior to the game. The incident disrupted the pre-match experience for those in affected areas and raised immediate health and comfort concerns for spectators on site.
