Geelong VFL side?

[gocats]

Does anyone know what the average crowds we get at home games at KP are for our VFL games and do we only play home games at KP?

Wouldnt it be great to try build the profile up of our VFL side.

Maybe give out free tickets to Geelong schools etc....
Try build some support through the VFL side.

Probably difficult at best to gauge an exact average attendance figure here, since a good number of the VFL team's games serve as curtain-raisers for Geelong's AFL home games at Kardinia Park.

Those tickets are sold on the same bill, so if those were officially counted, it would definitely skew the total a bit.

With the Cats playing interstate how many do you think would go to this game.

Rd 13 Saturday Arvo Geelong vs. Springvale Scorpions Skilled Stadium 2:00 pm

It's good to see people taking an interest in the VFL Team as well. To answer your question, I would estimate maybe 500-1000 people would attend the VFL matches, maybe more, maybe less.

It's always great to get down to the VFL and check out the rest of the team play. It is a great atmosphere, being allowed onto the ground at the breaks to listen to the coaches etc.

Also, food is always cheap at SS with the Cheer Squad putting on a great BBQ for all to enjoy!!

Yes they are and they are going great this year so you will hopefully see them win another game

Children U15 are free.

 

[rizzo]

How much is it for over 15's?

 

[Dasher39]

If your planning on coming Saturday and your a Geelong member you will get in for free, at Geelong away games I think it costs about $5 or something like that.

Or if you have an umpire’s pass it’s free!

Is this game match of the Day on the ABC? I'm over the other side of Melbourne and with the Mrs using our only car it's a bit far away for travel. Wouldn't mind seeing how some of the young'uns are getting on.

None of our games are on ABC TV for the rest of the season.

There are radio stations that cover the VFL. Unfortunately none are covering this week's match. However, tune into 3SER FM 97.7 (Southern/South Eastern Area) or Voice FM 99.9 (Ballarat Region) for score updates.
