Official Club Stuff Ask Lions_Insider!

I’d rather just the sound of crickets chirping for that. An opposition goal at our home ground deserves no fanfare.

Reducing that has been discussed too.

I’ve always been curious about how much the AFL regulates this sort of stuff.

Like for example, if we wanted to play a sad trombone sound effect every time the opposition kicked the ball out on the full, could we?

For the record, I don’t actually want that, but it would be interesting to know how much freedom clubs have to tweak their in-game experience at their home ground.

The roar is an opinion divider. We get complaints when it's not there, and complaints when it is there.

I personally like it for two reasons,

1. The kids get into it (my kids certainly do) and
2. When the inevitable trip to the facilities is required during a quarter, I know whether it was a lions goal or not

 

[Sausages]

Yeah, reducing the excitement for an opposition goal would be fine by me. Should be a "cool story, bro" jpeg imo, but that's probably pushing the boundaries.

It could be coming from the cubicles.

“Jeez, we are on a hot streak here!”

I went to a basketball game once and every time the home side had a penalty throw they advocated silence over the loudspeakers, and whenever the opposition had one they yelled "be loud, be proud, make some noise" and played some klaxon sounds as well because the crowd was apparently insufficient. Bugged the hell out of me and I eventually switched to supporting the away team halfway through the match on general principle (I had gone in without any particular allegiance except that the home team was where I lived at the time).

That does still seem milder though.

Hi LI, just wondering if you can elaborate at all on this statement by Eddie today? Is this AFL Queensland? Who are the Collingwood people being brought to Queensland, and why? Seems a bit strange.

That's really odd, LI.

Maybe just Pies officials or big chiefs? I hope it's not rank and file.....

 

[Gadzorks]

Hi LI, in the bailey injury update website article it says the Collingwood game is set to be a sellout. Does that mean sell out of the open areas or all areas are open and all areas sell out?

 

[Lions_Insider]

The State Government is working with Collingwood to bring people up for the long weekend, that's correct. It's a tourism thing.

There are now realistic expectations it could be a sell out. It means a sell out of the entire stadium.

Bit sad I'm missing this now. Booked a holiday in Cairns for our 20th anniversary.

Well - if it's a State Government initiative and we are benefitting financially, then that's a good thing.

A sell-out? That's awesome.....god I hope win this weekend.

Thanks for the responses LI - I tweeted a response thanking the media team yesterday, and I guess you might be part of that area, so in case you don't see it, thanks for dropping in to answer questions and provide information as you are able

Wowee. Really hope the weather does us a favour. This game is going to pay some bills.

 

[Sausages]

LR weather forecast shows a roughly 50/50 chance of a shower in the evening - but hey, it's a week away so anything can happen.

And a shower shouldn't keep TOO many away.

 

[James North]

Could you ask them not to sit next to me?

 

[Hollow Knight]

Yeah, I mean the Queensland government could have just given the money straight to the club and let us pack out the joint with our own people.

Collingwood being designated an away section, hahaha.

What’s happening with the Verandah?

 

[Lions_Insider]

We've blocked out sections for Collingwood, they've been selling those tickets themselves as well.

Verandah remains as normal.

Thanks. Any crowd exceeding 30,000 will be a big success. I imagine wins for both Brisbane and Collingwood this weekend would add a thou or two.

 

[jonnobackpocket]

We are planning to go to the Ballarat game and it's our first away game.

do our full memberships get us in or do we need to buy tickets? If we are buying tickets can we do it through the club? And is there a lions fan seating area? Any other info that you think is relevant would be appreciated.

Cheers

Did ya get an answer on the lions supporters seating area? Taking my young bloke and would rather sit surrounded by fellow lions legends.

Yeah just a “GOAL GOAL GOAL GOAL GOAL GOAL!!!” type word animation.

Animation is also used when the opposition scores. Blergh. I’d rather just the sound of crickets chirping for that. An opposition goal at our home ground deserves no fanfare.

I REALLY LIKE THIS IDEA

Can the QLD state gov work with us to bring Victorian Lions supporters up for games?

 

[Dylan12]

Well said.

Let’s hope we beat Collingwood on Easter Thursday because it’s been ages that we’ve won one of these prime time games at the Gabba in a long time.

 

[briztoon]

I just don’t see what’s in it for QLD to pay for a junket for Eddie and co.
