Siren Confusion

Sydney Swans vs Carlton Blues in AFL Pre-season NAB Cup at Blacktown Olympic Park in Rooty Hill, NSW, Australia. Australian Rules Football is a sport that is played in Australia between the end of March and September. Listen very carefully at 00:20 for the sound of the train hurdling past next door to the venue on the Snake Gully end which AFL umpires thought the "8:05 train out of Blacktown Station on its way to Rooty Hill" was a Quarter-Time siren and watch the next minute of confusion.

I remember being there and it was the funniest thing I have ever seen, maybe the AFL should have done some research before they built a ground 60m away from the train tracks.

It was amazing, one of the non ctorlling umpire got court out with tthe so call siren and not the controlling umpire.
