Okay, all good. I'll keep an eye on the thread tomorrow when I get to the city. If nothing I'll just get on with my day. No problem. Thanks for letting me know.

 

[The Unforgiven]

I'm heading to the Port Adelaide game at AO if any one is making the trip over, or if any Adelaide-based Cats fans are planning to go.

 

[The Unforgiven]

If anyone's going to the game and wants to catch up for a beer pre or post-match, I'll be kicking about in town for a bit.

I've given this thread a slight title update for the week - as well as anyone wanting to meet up before, after or during the big game, thought this thread could also be a good place to share info about live site locations, viewing parties etc

[devilsnap]

Would be keen to know of any Geelong-biased pubs or watch parties in or around Melbourne CBD

Are you thinking of arranging a BF meet up there, before the game?

Are you thinking of arranging a BF meet up there, before the game?

I wouldn't organise a pre-match meet up where you've got to pay an entry fee

More so sharing in case anyone without a ticket to the game wants to a viewing party option as close to the ground as they can get without being inside

For those interested,

For anyone in South Australia, the Adelaide Cats Supporters Group will be at the Arkaba Hotel tomorrow to watch the Grand Final.
