Description: Shows three scenes. In the top right a helicopter hovers above the pitch providing an escape route for the referee. In the lower left the referee is wearing a special camouflage suit which allows only his head, hands and boots to be visible. In the lower right the players have to be warned not to step on the landmines which have been placed between the pitch and the spectators. Refers to crowd disturbances at Mt Smart stadium on 10 October in which the referee was attacked by spectators. There was a possibility that F.I.F.A. would move the N.Z. versus Saudi Arabia match in November 1981 to a neutral location, possibly in Australia, to avoid violence. It was also suggested that the violence was a hangover from the disruptions which occurred during the 1981 Sprinbok tour of New Zealand.
