People without tix to the GF....

Any suggestions of where to watch the game in Melb???

 

[Ling Sting]

Fed Square. Punt Rd oval has also been pretty big the past few years. Otherwise a decent pub with a big screen is as good as anywhere.

 

[shahla_selena]

hmmm fed square could be good...thinking would have to get there early though??????? whats the go with drinking there, have to go into one of the restaurants/bars there? or will they have something set up do you think?

Not sure. Best bet would be to get there really early and try for a prime possie at one of the bars.

Maybe check out the Fed Square website for more info. I'd probably doubt they'd be selling grog outside of the bars due to liquor licensing laws

Punt Road Oval has been taken over this year by those corporate Centre Square people

My last options for getting tickets fell through today so I'm going to drive to Geelong and watch the game at Skilled. I have a hotel room booked in Geelong for the night so I can go to the family day on Sunday.

C'mon Melbourne people, it's only 70 minutes away and it will be the best atmosphere aside from the actual match.

Really??

I recommended to my mum to watch it there, or else Fed Square. I just really really really wanna see her straight after the match. (I have a ticket, she doesnt obviously..)

Have a great time in Geelong mate.

More like 50 minutes

 

[shahla_selena]

i agree the atmosphere at skilled would be great, but dont think i want to be stuck in geelong on a sat nite.....

thinking fed square will also be a good atmosphere, then will just make the journey down the highway in the morning (provided my blood alcohol reading is back to normal lol).

hope its a nice day sat

Showers are forecast. The outdoor venues could be less than pleasant.

I'll be watching it at home.

I think I just heard on the radio, early shower then fine.

Anyway, still a few days away. Hopefully the forecast will change and get better!

Does anyone know what the cost will be to watch the game at Kardinia Park and if you will be able to by alcohol there. I tempted to come down from Tallarook to watch the game in a great atmosphere

[haywood jablome]

Couldn't get tickets, I am either going to go over to my mates and have a massive bbq OR I will go to the city with some other Geelong supporters and watch the game at a pub or fed square.

Free entry into Skilled Stadium. Gates open at 12.00
No BYO alcohol, but can buy it there.

 

[shahla_selena]

ok so thinking fed square if the weather's nice, otherwise suss out a pub somewhere! fed square gonna be packed. but there should be less annoying drunken people i'd imagine.

 

[Harambasch]

I like your thinking, but hopefully you won't have to.

[Harambasch]

"The Herald Sun is also offering five lucky readers the chance to win a double pass to Saturday's game. For your chance to attend the big match, SMS your name and address to 199 276 62."

It's just another way to make a few extra thousand dollars and forget the supporters are the ones that make the game (besides the players)

It's how this stupid society runs with everything being corporate and the struggling families are left out in the cold....again
