LMFAO

What the hell is this, and why is Campbell Brown there? I'm confused and frightened.

They mentioned this during the GF coverage I think. It was described as a cross between wresting and Bulldog/Bull rush/Red Rover (whichever variation you called it as a kid). Apparently Stephen Milne and Adam Schneider are in the team as well. It's definitely..... unusual.

So a game for ex AFL players who aren't coach material.

Anybody else affected by the closing down of members seats in certain areas at the gabba for next year. We have got to move as a result. It sux, i really liked our seats.
I think they are closing sections 48 to 62 to members.

I know Mr Ripper was affected.

What is the reason given?

Only 6.4% of members in these areas apparently.
Makes me wonder if they are closing the whole area entirely or just to members. It wasnt clear.
It appeared as though they were trying to save money i thought by the way it read. Not having to pay staff in thise areas maybe.

 

[Mr Ripper]

They're closing that area off completely unless there's a demand for the extra capacity for certain matches. Purely a money saving exercise. Driven by the AFL and Qld Stadiums, I might add.

 

[patfullfankezz]

I had a HUGE dummy spit about my section being changed from unlicensed to licensed. Why not just ban non-drinkers from footy, it's obviously what advertisers are going for. #stillsalty

I thought it sounded that way.
May be good for the club financially. But wont look to good on tv. Although it is only the upper tier.

Maybe we can borrow some of those tarps from Port?

 

[ZoBlitz]

They made my section licensed, no doubt as some sort of bribe to keep me coming back.

Here's one for all you hard core Ben Robbins/Marcus Picken/Dylan McLaren fans: the 2001 AFLQ Grand Final.

What? You don't have to drink just because it's licensed...

No, I just have to put up with intoxicated morons who love to ruin everything.

patfullfankezz we moved from an unlicensed to a licensed section this season and didn't notice a difference. No drunk or out of control people ruining games. Hopefully your experience will be similar.

It's a Lions game. It's going to be empty either way.

Have sat in licensed area for 20+ years at Gabba with no issues. Any problems quick call to security who should be red hot on troublemakers

Of course that depends on your condition at the time of comparison.

Seems we're going to have to pay some backdated payroll tax from June 2008 - June 2012. Just what we needed
