Rumour Collingwood FC Selling Home Games

[Doc1763]

Pfffft adults.

Lets get what is best for Collingwood.

The other tenant clubs

The Tigers pull out of a gate sharing agreement that the two clubs had a while back? And they dominate the punt road end. So why do we want to play an away game against them??

Is Queen / King bday still always a Dees home game? Surely that is a big enough free kick to let our members stay in the Ponsford.

The Hawks, they only play 6 home games at the G anyway with Tassie. Why cant their members use Southern stand / Olympic stand?

Why cant Collingwood retain our exact same deal, and request to never play "away" games against Richmond at the G?

where are we going to play an away game against Richmond? Punt Road?
The Kings Birthday Game has been rotated for a while now.
doesn't matter how many games Hawthorn play at the G, if they play a home game against us there, they will want the corporate ares for that game.

What are we going to tell the MCC, give us what we want, or we're off to Marvel?? Not likely.

Do you understand the word "negotiation"?

What do people have against Docklands? Sure it doesn't have the history and atmosphere of the MCG but it's a modern, conveniently located stadium with excellent views and facilities.
I'd much rather keep the 2 home games at Docklands where I can easily attend than play interstate.

Not everybody agrees with you.

Our last home game there for Steele’s 300th only got 39000 attendance

What if this is a careful ploy to grow interstate supporter numbers.

A clever ploy to grow interstate supporter numbers would be to play at least once in each AFL city, and our current administration is not doing that.

where are we going to play an away game against Richmond? Punt Road?

There are currently only 11 away games, and 17 opponents.

The Fixture has compromises, just add an extra one. Use showdown in Adelaide as a Pies v Tigers double up etc.

If Richmond want their members to get access to Ponsford stand L2 seats, well dont fixture us as away team against Richmond.

Both teams win.

The Kings Birthday Game has been rotated for a while now.

If our members get the Ponsford stand, let Melbourne be the home team.

Both teams win.

Sure, they can have the entirity of the stadium except the Pies Ponsford stand area.

What are we going to tell the MCC, give us what we want, or we're off to Marvel?? Not likely.
Do you understand the word "negotiation"?

Of course, I do...just putting out the pro Collingwood position.

If we let Melbourne always be "home" on KBday, and we dont play away games v Tigers and it means we keep our 14 MCG games and our members retain Ponsford stand priviliges.

Aint that a win-win?

So we finally get a game this year in Melbourne against Sydney and we want to do this?

We should be pushing to play them at the G every second year instead.

aren’t we rich? Why would we need to do this

Better than going to Marvel.

Better than going to Marvel.

Maybe. Nothing beats members losing their away seats, selling home games and hiking up the price of memberships

Kelly and Browne care about one thing and it’s not us.
