Well I hope I will not be chastised too heavily for my confession.
My wife and I have lived within walking distance of Kardinia Park for about 34 years, and never attended a match. Last time either of us attended, we were young teenagers. During our earlier years at our current address, we were heavily into renovating our house (had to do it all ourselves due to lack of funds - another reason for no membership). Raising kids didn't help the budget either. We could actually hear the crowd roar every time Geelong kicked a goal.
Now it might sound very co-incidental, but the honest truth is that we had been saying to ourselves for a couple of years that we should get on down and watch a few games. So early in the 2007 season we did, and thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing (just so happens that every game we saw at KP, the Cats won !).
So, this year, the Membership application forms have been submitted (very early), and we are both hoping for a seat. Even booked a flight to Adelaide for the opening Port match.
Better late than never, I guess.
