Away Games

[Docker_Brat]

OK dudes, who has any away games that they're pencilling in as a 'must be there' (apart from the finals of course )?

For mine: I am planning to be at the v Collingwood game on the 18th of April, should be a bit of a laugh and we are in with a huge chance IMO. Also, v Essendon at Docklands on the 28th May is a goer.

All of em ....unfortunately Mrs Moo has an eraser.

 

[Kapow!!!]

Since it's the only game I'm going to, I'm saying the Richmond game. Catch is I'm going with My family and there mate who is an Essendon supporter so I'm going to see Brisbane vs Essendon the night before at the dome!

Might go some hot chips at half time tho... surely they couldn't poison a bucket of fat??

I have a friend who used to work at Ciccerellos. He reckons he once saw a seagull accidently land in the deep fryer, while it was trying to nab a chip. So, what do you think the good folk at Ciccerello's did about it?

Simply fished out the seagull, and kept frying those chips, (so just watch out for feathers).

Sorry....back to the topic.

No, but they serve them cold sometimes!

Thats quite a coincidence Milko ....as I have a feeling that an Eagle may well land in the equivalent of a deep oil fryer this season.

So now at Derby time I have to be at gate 8 looking out for an old lady wearing purple who has lost her faculties.

At least with the red shirt, she would've stood out a little.

Yep, i've had my flights booked for Sydney for a few months. Going to the Collingwood game a couple of weeks later as well. Long live domestic airline price wars.

Getting tickets to the Collingwood game should be easy, AFAIK yoiu just ring Wayne Hughes in Victoria and he sets them up for you to pick up on match day and you get to reserved seating with other Dockers fans (at least that's what I did last year for the Essendon game). Anyone know the deal with the Sydney game? Might just buy general admission and find my way to a group of people in purple.

Worst time of your life I reckon but it gets a lot better quickly

The deal is that the Cheer squad (from Vic) has the first 4-6 rows of Bay 14 roped off. As non CS people, we don't get to sit within their roped section, but can sit directly behind or next to the area so that all the purple devotees can be all sitting together.

Bay 14 is general admission (about $20) - and I have been advised to get there early to guarantee a seat with every one else.

(and being the maternal type avdbrm - and I'll have my 7 year old with me - I'd be more than happy to have you cramp my style... if I had any! )

Last year at Sydney, lastminute.com.au had a 2 for 1 offer... but then the game was a near sellout, so I doubt they'll do that again.
If you do sit in or near Bay 14, make sure you take a hat and sunscreen...you are looking into the sun all day... last year almost fried us, despite it being in August. If you get the back rows you might be undercover (I think it's the Walter's stand above). Can't see the video scoreboard well from there though.

Cool, thanks IP. I'll probably try and get the tickets mailed to me before I leave.
