The Melbourne Cricket Club has implemented a new policy stating that placing scarves, jackets or bags on seats does not constitute reserving them. The ruling addresses the common practice of seat-saving at the MCG, with the club emphasising that physical items left on seats do not guarantee reservation. The policy has sparked debate about common sense etiquette at sporting venues, with comparisons drawn to similar behaviours like reserving car parks or sun loungers.
