Membership Lanyards

[MBIB]

Sorry to waste an entire thread on this, but I know 3 people already whose lanyard string stitching has come undone above the clasp and resulted in lost memberships - so be aware!

Pretty ordinary for round 4 but have a look and stitch them up or glue them (mine's loose already) because I've lost mine in the past and it's a pain to organise a new one

 

[FevolasFox]

Not a waste of a thread.

Good tip, thanks, will look out for it.

 

[BlueBelle]

Cheers MBIB. I will definately keep an eye on it!

Anyone who needs a new one PM me. I never use mine. Well just the once to strangle silly Uncle Reg after he wiped my tape of the Collingwood game. But it's clean now.

Meh, don't see the point of the lanyard. I just slip the card into my wallet and I'm fine and dandy.

while we are on things membership-cardish related, has anyone who has a silver memberhsip card used it to get into the MCG, if so where did you sit. i am over for the adelaide game and am using my card for the first time and am not sure where i can and cant sit ie what stand is the General admission area and so on.

You can enter any gate except through the MCC which is Gate 2 IIRC and the AFL Members' Reserve which is Gate 8 IIRC.

Being a Carlton home game, the bottom level of the Olympic and Southern Stand are reserved for Gold members. If you want to sit on the ground level, your best bet is the Ponsford but unfortunately that is right behind the goals.

Great view from the top of the Olympic Stand though If you head as far over as you can towards the MCC members, you are pretty much on Centre Wing

True that. Personally, I love sitting top tier (have never sat levels 2 or 3, so can't compare with those) on the flank, as you get a great isometric view of the entire ground and can see the play evolve. Can't stand level one behind the goals - although a mate of mine who I go with loves it down there for some reason or other.

Ponsford for you then

Ponsford for you then

it appears so, but we'll see how we go. it might not be as bad as i think. plus all i want to see is my boys in blue for the first time live this year.

Believe me, it's bad. Sitting there against the Bombers game, I spent half the time looking up at the scoreboard, not knowing what was happening. Went up to level 4 after half time, for a much better view of the game.

 

[BlueBelle]

You can't beat the wing

Personally, I prefer sitting b/w centre wing and the flank (probably closer to the flank), as you get a great view of most of the ground.

so the players dont look like ants from up there then?

Not if you're down the bottom half of the level

 

[thylacine60]

Top of the Ponny for me. Coffee, dunny and suicide - all easily accessible depending on the need.

Get there early, sit as close to the fence as possible, and it's a great view. Sitting up the top sucks.

My single worst experience at the football was when I sat level 3, last row at the Dome, directly behind the goals for a half. Not only could you not see a thing, there was no atmosphere to speak of (as you'd expect with no one behind you). Fortunately, we moved to the flank after half time, for a much better view, both atmosphere and viewing wise (though we might have taken a couple of guys seats who'd gone for the half time break, going by the dirty look they gave us. )

Yeah same goes for me.Except the part about Uncle Reg.
