Australian cricket and aussie rules fans have been warned not to scatter the ashes of loved ones on the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

The warning comes after employees found piles of ashes on the stadium's turf after a public open day at the ground.

The Melbourne Cricket Club strictly bans the practice and frequently rejects requests for people to scatter ashes.

A Club spokesman small fragments of bone can be quite dangerous for players.
