Anyone know why the Bunton Bar will only show 7 on the 3 big screens and no Fox Footy? Noticed the first time the other week on the Friday night it was on 7 instead of Fox.

On Sunday it was on 7 pre game while the Fox game that was playing was only on the small screens. Was asked if they could change it but was told they couldn't.

It only appears to have changed in the last couple of weeks or so.

What's the context? On what basis should they show Fox over 7?
There was a live game on Fox while 7 was showing whatever they have pre football.

As I said noticed it a few weeks ago at a Friday night game but didn't think much of it as no other games were on at the time. On Sunday Geelong/St Kilda was on but instead we get pre game footy with no sound. Everyone would rather be watching the live game being played.

As I said only a month back Fox Footy was always on the big screen and you got a live game if one was on at the time.

definitely had fox footy in there before the essendon richmond game because i saw the giants game on

but i do remember a couple of months ago watching 7news in there, which i found odd
 
Considering 7 have no AFL coverage on Saturday that would be the case. But why the change for other days as we were told they couldn't show fox on the big screens.
I know during play the bars in the stadium show the live feed from the host broadcaster straight from the truck. When that's a Seven match, that's the Seven feed without ads, and it's about 10 seconds more live than both the Fox or Seven terrestrial feeds. So it could be that or a contractual thing.

Yeah they always show the host broadcast feed. Same for the cricket. All stadiums are the same with their internal screens for all sports.
 
Sat on L2 last night for first time in years. So good up there. I miss what the Medallion club now have :(
But you, too, can become a Medallion Club member and take even more if the seats that AFL members used to have access to. All it takes is lots of $ because we here at the AFL love cash more than members who have supported us for years.

or just waiting until half time, sneak in and look for the theater goers who have not turned up or have stayed in the bar and sit in their seats.

So here we are Sunday afternoon with a Fox exclusive game and the Bunton Bar big screen is on 7. How about the pre game for the actually game we are attending.
 
ehhh. I find level 2 (N Deck) the seats are cramped. prefer P Deck for this reason.
separate issue, why the FK is there still a Coffee Stand blocking Standing room on the wing.
this is prime real estate for those who wish to stand.
Piss it off or move it elsewhere

They replaced all the level 2 seating before the start of the season, so is that still the case?
 
mmm ok i was not aware. still felt cramped to me.
the lady next to me said the same thing.
she wasnt a fattie and neither am I.
the seats did have some padding, i would be interested in the dimensions compared to other sections.
prime viewing though. I was Row B

i don’t think they would be much wider because they would’ve had to keep the same number of seats, they removed the cup holders though which sucks
I sat in what is effectively level 2A in the newer MCC on Saturday and those seats are also very tight, as is level 2 there. It seems premium views have a price.
