Yup No excuses.AnywhereLOLscrayAnytime
Just alluded to after completion of an interview with Tendai Mzungu on 6PR as well.
Apparently to do with the fixturing of the FFA (Soccer) Grand Final on May 17 should Melbourne Victory earn the right to host. The FFA wants to use Etihad but it would clash with our game against the Bulldogs so some bright spark has suggested shunting us off to Geelong again.The alternative is that the Victory have to play their grand final interstate (now there's a solution). The Glory just need to knock the Victory off this weekend and it'll help to make it all go away.
Tendai's interview link is below (one hopefully works!):-

If this is true then they should play it at Whitten oval. Hosted the Tiges last week, the oval is in ripping nick and it's right near where I live!
Posting this just because it makes me laugh every time I see it.
That's just rude shifting our game to a completely different city when we were there first! It's got me wondering how ticketing would work out for members though because Simmonds is tiny and cold. So so cold.

As a passionate soccer supporter this is absolute bullshit. Victory won't host the GF anyway so it's totally moot. As Bicco said, just shift it to Whitten Oval. Our games against them in Melbourne get stuff all people and the Bulldogs are looking to take AFL games there again so they might as well use it as a trial run.

You're quite brilliant Shane.
Apparently the toilets at Whitten Oval wouldn't be able to handle all that human traffic: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/a...the-whitten-oval/story-fni5fazt-1227245311750If this is true then they should play it at Whitten oval.

You need to be able to accommodate for all the turtle heads pushed out by all those pies and chips.
Could be on the cards in a couple of years, though.
This is an unusual media room? It's a toilet. Oh, okay terrific. It is distracting. Is that a cistern?
Interstate? What's wrong with the shiny new soccer stadium they have there?
They think they're going to get more than that at a neutral venue?

Not saying they wouldn't - but it was said that they'd move the game interstate if Etihad wasn't available. Surely Melbourne v Perth in Sydney or Brisbane would barely get 20k? Especially if it was at ANZ, which everyone seems to hate.

The same day as our clash against the doggies, Richmond play Collingwood at the MCG. Surely they could move that to Simmonds and play the soccer at the home of football. Win win.

I'd assume they would move it to Perth. The FFA already have Subi booked for that weekend IIRC.
