If you happened to have one of these tickets, you would realise it says on the back "Ticket must be displayed at all times." Therefore meaning people are going to have them on when they leave, and wont take them off just to convenience your opinion.

On another topic. These so-called new shaded grandstands. WHat a waste of time they are on pit straight. For the most part of the day a lot of the stand is in the sun. I know where I am sitting the sun doesnt disappear behind the sahde cloth until 4pm. The shade cloths extend maybe halfway across the stand, and really, are quite shit. I was picturing something like in the Chappell Stands at Adelaide Oval, not some backyard DIY cloth that does f*** all. :mad:

Well, a permanent one would be ideal, but oh no! Couldn't have that. Someone from the council might need to walk their dog through there.

Thought the shade was great where we were.

Get the sun in the morning obviously (Didn't rock up until just before V8 praccy today), but by 12 or so, it was under the cloth (which was probably the best they could provide given the ridiculous circumstances) and apart from 10 minutes where it crosses between shades, it was brilliant conditions. At least where I was.

Would look better with Red/Blue/Yellow (obviously eh ;)) than just the red and blue, though.
 
I imagine they couldn't extend the shade clothes to a certain extent in some areas due to the shades restricting the view, for say, people right at the back? Plus that grandstand on pit straight it quite big.

Where I sit there's practically shade all day, besides some morning sun coming through the back of the stand, but thats not much of an issue by 10.30 or so.

I posted in the main thread on the Motor Board, as to how much we, as fans of the series should appreciate Garry Rogers.

Gives the young guys a chance, forks out the costs for the huge damage bills while they're learning the ropes for the first few years, then when they get to a level required, they get cherry picked by the likes of Vodafone and co. - with nothing in reward for Garry.

A magnificent person to have involved. :thumbsu:

Almost raises the question of whether there should be some sort of compensation for teams that have their drivers poached like that.....

So to ask the one question here that could split the Crows board in half, who do you follow Holden's or Ford's?

Holden's for me.

Punchy old boy, I was talking about people weraing them in town! Havn't seen too many clipsal ticket inspectors in the mall!! ( I also didn't read the whole thread before posting)

As for them being stolen, I will have to think about wearing my car keys around my neck in a whopping big pouch on a lanyard. Can't beleive they havn't been stolen as yet.

The smiley was suggesting I was being lighthearted, sorry for insulting the plastic self important wallet and lanyard brigade.:):p (hint hint)

Yeah apologies Jars, been a bit sick lately my subtlety joke detector tends to fail a lot when sick.

Is it alright if I wear it on the bus into town seeing we get free public transport with a Clipsal ticket easier to have it round my neck than fumble around holding the line up while getting it out of my wallet. Is that cool? :p :)
