Oppo Camp an idea for the derby - thoughts

[kranky al]

whilst we are still at subi - what about this for an idea

one of the things i most dislike about going to subi games is the homogenous crowd - either 90% eagles or dockers supporters

even the derby is majority one or the other

and they are such epic games

what if we had an option where members of both clubs could lodge their availability to be cross posted (for lack of a better term) to the oppositions home match for the derby

getting twice a year at least reasonably close to a even crowd

i for one prefer to watch footy in melbourne as aside from the better stadiums, you can hang s**t (or get s**t hung depending on the day) on opposition supporters

thoughts?

Too hard to organise IMO.

We'll just have to wait to 2018, no 2019, maybe 2020? Or whenever this alleged stadium gets built.

Has the proposed opening date been delayed?

Nah not yet, just going on the past history of our successive state governments!

 

[Patron]

Yeah im expecting the stadium to be late. It seem to happen a bit with any large projects.

 

[Doughboy]

Seems like a reasonable idea

Not sure how it would be difficult it would be to organsie. The ticket numbers to be split in half, seated members to go into a ballot for the seats. If you want them, then take it, if not then it get drawn again

Easy!

It's just another game worth 4 points - thats all.

some are s**t as well - but the one where paininthearsentine missed after the siren - was epic

 

[Eastern Rangers]

This would end up with segregated crowds like Eastern European soccer games.

 

[kranky al]

i go watch carlton collingwood once every year or so 0 now there is a heap of banter - and not a little shouting etc but they dont have to segregate the crowd

They're also used to it. I don't know if some of our supporters could handle it. It would take a bit of getting used to for them!

Yea clever

And AFL finals...

Agree with the OP - it should be easy enough to deal with via electronic ticketing systems.

When you get your membership game - you either get "the 1st derby" or "the 2nd derby"

The most appropriate time to do it is the 2018 season when no one has an attachment to their seat - albeit you shouldn't have to change seat anyway.

 

[boondy]

lets play for this piecs of memorabilla

 

[WCErevival]

They wouldn't do it as you would be losing your "home ground" advantage

 

[boondy]

is it 2018 for the new stadium ?

I was thinking something similar to this but more along the lines of....

When we move to the new stadium, the spare seats (Govt wants 10k for eagles games [doubt we dont try and sell out]) are automatically sold to the members of the other team as an opt in raffle on top of your membership. Something along the lines of.

Would you like to go into a raffle for Derby seats? [Y/N]
How many seats from your membership would you like? [1, 2, 3, 4]
You will only be billed for the tickets if you win the raffle for the allocated number of seats you have chosen.

This guarantees the Derby is a sell out pre-season. It is a reason I believed they should have built an 80k Stadium.

Freo home derbies used to be a little like this.

I don't bother buying tickets for the away game anymore. End up with terribly overpriced worst seats in the house. Last one I went to was the Balla hit the post after the siren game. 2nd back row of the 3 tier stand... I doubt I could have been any further away from his kick if I tried. Noone in the stand knew what had happened. Both sets of supporters thought they had won. Was kind of strange for a few seconds there.

Would buy away derby tickets again once the new stadium comes in. But not at Subi anymore.
