Advertisement “Tasmania Police attended the Crowne Plaza Hobart on Monday morning after reports were made of intoxicated people in a function area,” the statement read. “The guests were spoken to by police, just after 6:00am, and left the area when asked.
Crowne Plaza Hobart general manager Linda Collis said a noise complaint had been made from outside the hotel regarding the drinking session on the hotel’s fourth floor. She stressed that Lyon, Carey and Head, as well as others in the footage, had not done anything wrong and weren’t ordered to leave by her staff, despite police saying they had already been asked to move on.Herald“We’re in the middle of the city and there is noise and other things. We get all sorts of random things and police will turn up. There was nothing untoward. No one was removed from the hotel. It’s not uncommon to get people complaining about noise.” Asked why hotel staff were present, Ms Collins said: “I think they were actually just trying to get ready for breakfast the next day. That’s all it was. Everything has been pretty smooth sailing and we were happy for Hobart to have the cricket down here and have the teams down here.” It is unclear what time the players were moved on but clearly had hoped to stick around for a few more drinks after a Test in which Australia defeated England by 146 runs to wrap up a 4-0 series win. The teams had finished playing in the fifth Ashes Test at Blundstone Arena late on Sunday evening, given it was a day-night Test match. Both teams were still tied up with formalities until close to midnight at the ground.The Australian team continued the party on Monday by drinking at a Hobart pub and singing songs with the Barmy Army, according to social media posts.
