Got a few contributions for this thread

My pop and uncle both used to work at the G, so they could get us in for nothing. The first footy game I went to there was in78 or 79, it was Melbourne v someone I can't quite remember, mainly because the crowd was so sparse one of my other uncles and I spent most of the day kicking the footy on the concrete bank behind the goals in the Ponsford Stand.

During the 81/82 cricket season we went to all the ODI's at the G that summer, and as someone else mentioned, if you got there early enough you could meet all the players as they walked down from the Hilton. Some of the programs and mini bats we got signed then are still at my grandparents place.

When the Windies were playing Australia that summer, they must have stayed somewhere else because they got a coach to the ground, and wouldn't sign anything when they got off. I was shattered, but that was greatly alleviated when we got inside, and were sitting on the fence where my pop used to operate the scoreboard. The Windies came out to warm up and have a bit of catching practice, and saw us sitting there and asked us to come out and give them a few throw downs! Being out on the G throwing the ball to Viv Richards, Dessie Haynes, Clive Lloyd etc more than made up for them not giving us an autograph I can tell you

used to take my then young son to the cattery in the very early 90's, watching Ablett on fire. Didn't know anyone there, but would get chatting to a few blokes down the goal end. At half time have a wip around and two blokes would go over the road and buy fish & chips. It was a good gig - a couple of pots next door while they were being cooked!

I don't remember them only having goals at one end

50% chance he's talking about the river end or the city end.

I took my then 4 yo daughter to the MCG in 94 to see Ablett at his mercurial best so she could one day tell her kids she saw Ablett. That was the theory....

I remember footy without interstate teams and all games played on Saturday. Those were the days...
Has this been said before? I can't remember when.

 

[Willo_]

I can take it full circle.

"I remember when November was all about cricket and not talking shit in the 'off season' on a footy forum"

If the cricket team wasn't full of f**kwit princesses it still would be...

Do kids still get their kicks from shrinking empty Twisties packets in the oven, then when hardened, wear them on a keyring? Or was that just a 1978 thing?

They were around in the early 1990s for sure.

Who remembers the packets of chips / Twisties (?) from the 1960's early 70's that contained plastic VFL football club brooches. I think it may have been Colvan. The brooches were shaped like a football with a slide in cardboard insert for the 12 clubs. On the back of the brooch was a pin.

If anyone tried a giveaway like that today the ACCC would have a national recall because the pin is potentially dangerous!
