They should let people in just for turning up.

How good were the home made pies and pasties they would sell outside the ground at 1/2 time all those years ago.

Cheap as too.

I know I’m showing my age but Sunday will be a blast from the past - Senior colts as the curtain raiser & then the A’s. Only one thing missing and that will be the pies & pasty’s being sold at half time at the northern end of the oval.
Should be a good day, the players of the future followed by us giving the old enemy a touch up!

I seriously want to go, but every time I go to a sanfl game these days they're so crap, after 10 minutes I ask myself Why am I here?

Then throw in cold and wet ...

You’ve just described my reaction when I go to the Adelaide Oval for a Port game - if I last to half time it will be a miracle ! Although Alberton has changed visually over the last couple of years I still love going there. And it will even get better for me when I can eventually watch a game at Alberton from the bowling green pocket
Go the Magpies!

I do miss my usual spot on the Williams Stand side, so hard to watch from there now with the giant interchange boxes

**** that, I'd want them to pay me at least $50.

The kids when we went to the football would always ask, "will the pasty man be there?" Continued into adulthood when they would venture out at half time and come back with a bagful!

An absolute balls up that one. Just another decision where they've managed to suck the soul out of the place...

Last year there was still $2 pasties outside after the game (northern goals end). Young couple sell them out the back of their car. Not sure if they're related to the old crew, but they are not bad...

 

[PowerLil]

Do Power season ticket holders still get free entry at Alberton?

If it is not belting down with rain I will head down for a look.

Yes. All season tickets include Magpie home games.

Wow almost forgot about that, used to be very tasty.
Wonder who made them? Definitely not Balfours.

Didn’t they used to sell them also after the match had finished?
I’m sure I used to get on the way out.

You need counselling after watching the SANFL side go round they are absolutely dreadful.

 

[Scodges]

Can I hear this game on any radio stations ?

 

[Doctor Feel]

Can I hear this game on any radio stations ?

Maybe if you turn the volume up

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Local footy on the radio, I remember those days.

I even remember when the networks would superimpose quarter by quarter scores at the bottom of the screen during the black and white Saturday afternoon movie. Brought to you by Amscol footy ice cream!

Yes ADS 7 used to do it and you’d never guess who the 14 year old kid with a black felt board and white plastic letters and numbers was who did that job.

No, surely not ...

No

Last year I could stream on the AFL app, this year not even on radio. Guess I’ll be monitoring this thread.

Yep, I watched the AFL app, but they took that away from us. Sanfl being such a desirable product and all.

Haha yes, my uncle started working at 7 as a camera man, ended up Operations manager.
I used to go in Saturday mornings, they had a camera set up and I had this black felt board with white solid plastic letters and numbers you could stick on the felt board.
As the scores changed I’d update the board and put it on a stand in front of the camera and it would come up on the tv screen.
They used to pay me by cheque from memory it was around $15 haha big money in the late 60s for a kid.
