News GMHBA Stadium Stage 5 Redevelopment

[CatAttack84]

Membership seating plan has been revealed.

Was that emailed to you? Can't find it on the website.

To the previous post question, prices seem to be a little more than the Players Stand, but not drastically more like the last stand from stage 4.

I'm one of those, however not in the group that have been force to move so I assume that's why I haven't seen it. Thanks.

Membership seating plan has been revealed.

Am I missing something obvious?
What is the Aqua Blue sections in the Players and Selwood stand?

My guess is unreserved walk up seating

I thought they’d stay in front of the scoreboard but walk up including opposition supporters?

For every Hawks supporter that walks in, they get 1 x Free headbutt directly from Selwood as they enter the stand.

Very excited for my row C seats in the new Selwood stand. Bring on 2024!!!

Jeez, Russell Merriman must've really impressed in those 25 games back in the early 90s.

Think you’ll find that’s named after Bob Merriman - Bob Merriman - Wikipedia

It’s on the outside of the stand overlooking the Geelong Cricket Ground - it’s always been part of the stand, now it’s been upgraded

Absolutely brilliant/fantastic photograph , its that good it could nearly pass as a lithograph

In encompasses/captures everything , still plenty of big trees about which is great , the light towers , Moorabool St hard up against its boundary , that is a great shot of that street with by the looks of it just the 1 single car with its lights on

I had my bearings around the wrong way , until i saw the water , i thought Belmont was that way

Sensational picture that

Looks fantastic, thanks for the photos.

Mum is keen to have a day in Geelong next month, we'll no doubt head down there for a look.

Are we finally allowed to make the road to the GF come through Kardinia Park?

While the commentary has been nauseating for much of the last 20 years, you could at least see the argument.

The stadium was a little small, run down, and then eventually under construction.

Now though, it's a world class complex. On par with the likes of Stamford Bridge, Old Trafford and alike in the EPL, and many of the stadiums across the NFL in the US.

What's it going to take? We're only a 'Melbourne Club' when it suits the AFL, and it's created a fixture that you couldn't possibly justify in any other sport worldwide.

So what if Collingwood fans miss out. If our club has earned the right of home field over a grueling winter, then we decide where the game is played. It's how it works everywhere else in the world.

You want to win the premiership? You're going to have to beat us at home. Our real home. That's how it's works.

Imagine telling a European or Yank that their club had earned home field, but had to play the game at the oppositions home stadium.

It just makes our competition look bush league in comparison, when it shouldn't because our sport has done so much right to stack up against its international contemporaries.

I love AFL but when it comes to this shit it’s a ****ing joke. Embarrassing. Collingwood, Richmond, etc etc. supporters can go and eat shit if they can’t get in… that’s life.

Exactly. You never hear it anywhere else either.

Take a game from last year's NFL playoffs for instance.

When Kansas City earned home field against Cincinnati, there wasn't a single person alive going "Hey! What about the Cincinnati fans who can't get to the game?" - It's just accepted that if you're the away team, both your players and supporters are going to be up against it.

If you haven't earned home field, then that's your problem. The whole point of the ladder/seeding is that if you finish up the top, then you have the easier road.

You play at home, at your home ground, with the crowd being 90% of your own supporters. It works like this literally everywhere but here.

For us, if there's a Melbourne club coming first or second, we might as well save our energy and finish third or fourth. It's the same result anyway, and likewise for them.

It means Collingwood for example can finish 4th, play a home game in front of at best a 60/40 split of their own supporters, and book a home prelim 2 weeks later.

.....and yet we're somehow the ones getting favourable treatment?

We're a unique case where we're a Vic club, but we're actually closer to the interstate clubs belief in terms of the #VICBIAS ideology.

What will be the crowd capacity of the ground when the stand is finally complete?
