Rd 3 v GWS advice for seating options???

[amc11]

As I live interstate I have a Digital membership so no live attended matches included however this year I will be in Sydney for our Round 3 clash with GWS and I'm planning on heading to the game.

I've never been to the Showground Stadium so hoping to get some advice re seating options from anyone who has been to a game there before:
General Admission or Reserved Seating ?
Which section has the best viewing?
Just in case - which section is undercover?

Thanks.

I don't know it well enough to be specific.

But it's a really nice stadium. Big enough to have an atmosphere (if the crowd turns up) but small enough that you have a good view from anywhere. I go up with the Capital Tigers (Canberra supporters group) and it's a really nice stadium to watch footy at. I'm just sick of us losing at the death to bad umpiring and stupid mistakes. .

Pick wherever you enjoy watching the game and you'll be fine.

Are you going to the Sydney tigers pre game function?

Are you going to the Sydney tigers pre game function?

We usually do when we go.

Leave early and get home late, have a drink or 2 and listen to Benny and Balmey pre-game. Talk about the mighty tigers.

If you're going to be there we should try to catch up.

Not me.

I remember that auction. Pretty good $ paid. Made Flea pretty happy.

See you at the pre-game - I hope.

I was surprised last year by the atmosphere. I got stuck waiting for my coffee I'd ordered (coffee shop is behind one of the stands, and it was a freezing cold night) and heard the crowd cheering so assumed it was GWS scoring, but it ended up being us.

Is a fantastic ground to watch footy at, hopefully we play better this year against them.

would've flogged them by 6 goals if george kicked properly last year. the crowd was face palming and cracking up when he got the ball in the second half

I went to the first game we played there, going back a few years. It was wet, not many people there so watched from under cover.

Thanks tora tora tora. Can you remember which sections are undercover at all?

6 goals easily. George was hot and cold that night. Hot to get he ball in dangerous positions. Cold, Ice Cold in kicking for goal.

its a good viewing ground , being a small venue there are no "nose bleed" sections

Don't drive there because you'll be stuck in traffic for an hour when arriving and leaving

Don't catch the train because the trains will be delayed and on the way out they force everyone through one entrace

Don't catch the bus - see don't drive

despite sydney transport issues, it's an awesome venue
