AFL @ Adelaide's Oval - That time is now.

Bay 335

No such bay at AAMI

Bay 335

There's a 100 level, a 200 level, the northern grandstand is after letters, while the members stand only went up to about 315???????

Port in their haste to move to AO and the AFC with a suspended CEO at the time of this agreement being negotiated, have found themselves locked into an unfavourable stadium deal. But they were both warned by Ian Collins about the lopsided deal.

It seems that individual AFL clubs are irrelevant when it comes to dealings between the AFL and State bodies.

 

[MRB37]

So the Crows went from being millions better off at AO, to only being $200,000?

What a joke.

 

[hey shorty]

Huge surprise that........ yeah nah.

I mean 200K is nothing to sneeze at but it seems we arent the only poor negotiators.

AAMI we sat in bay 102.

"Ahhhh-chooo!"

 

[AJB84]

Anyone used a taxi after a night game yet? Best spot? Easy/hassle?

We walked to the Rank on Grenfell St near King William and got one fairly quickly

 

[King Elvis]

If you don't rush out immediately, cabs are pretty easy to get anywhere - King William, just opposite the Eastern Stand, about 20 minutes after the game is over, they're easy to get there as well.

 

[pjcrows]

Cheers for the cabs advice.

Regarding the "covering of the Port players' race sponsors, could it be that they are covering Renault signage, as a direct competitor of Toyota? Can anyone who can remember tell me what sponsorship we are talking about?

 

[Niximus]

You'd be covering up all their sponsors, regardless of whether they directly compete with ours.

If you want your logo/name visible ate AFC matches, you need to pay the AFC. No freebies.

Looks like most of the oval they are using for soccer has gone in the presale.Bay 332 for me.

So our small profit is basically coming from increased membership,fees. Great.

Should be a good crowd then, Adelaide Utd & the SMA havs said on their FB pages that they will be opening up more areas of the stadium when needed, so I bet they'll open up some of the top deck of the Eastern stand early next week, if most of the level 1 & 3 tickets are sold.

I reckon if its good weather they could easily get 25-30000 for this game.
They will definitely crack 40,000 for the game against Melbourne Victory

 

[NTRabbit]

I got bay 339 as well

 

[hey shorty]

Surprised the pre sale went so well. However we only have 1500 members so it wouldn't take too much to sell that out. I reckon depending upon weather there will be a big game day roll up.

I reckon you're onto something here, we wanted a "clean" stadium so we could then put AFC signage all over the place.

 

[Norwood1878]

So it's now official, "The Eddie Betts Pocket".

 

[Crow-eater]

How good will it look if they all wear them? And top corner of the scoreboard

 

[johnnypanther]

Do we seriously cover up the Port race for our games??

******* pathetic if we do.

Nah I disagree
- I have no problem leaving the words "Geof Motley Race" (and "Bob Hammond Race" on ours) uncovered, however, I do think that the “We Are Port Adelaide” wall which recognizes 50 Port club sponsors should not be seen during Crows games (and vice versa Crows signage for Port home games).

This whole thing has been misrepresented in the media: the AFC did not say cover the whole race, only "part" of it:
“The only area we’re talking about is the commercialised space, just the same way that we’ve always covered our race when Port Adelaide played at AAMI Stadium.”
It is understood the Crows will also have commercial logos on its race - and these will be covered during Power home games.
Even Keith Thomas said that “That means no club has to see the commercial logos of another club during its home games”

 

[Justinpa1]

How cool would it be to be the kid with yellow sleeves tonight! It looks great! Well done AFC.

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

50,300 good crowd tonight
