Most of the problems today are based around numbered seating.
In the days of general admission, groups could rock up and all go together and sit or stand wherever they wanted. Noisy fans went together, quiet cardboards went together, and you could move freely from one to the other whenever you wanted.
Not any more. The AFL and the clubs got greedy and decided to charge additional amounts for numbered seats. So these days you can't make any atmosphere without being a nuisance to the w***ers around you, you all have to pre-book together at the same time.
Docklands could be a good ground if it was general admission. The facilities for supporters are excellent, the location next to the station is great. But every time someone requests a seat in a specific area, every time people want to sit together, the queue at the ticket window gets longer. The worst affected are St Kilda members, because Saints membership cards don't have seat numbers on them, so every St Kilda member has to line up at the gate to get their seat allocation for that game.
The solution is obvious. Just sell general admission tickets and let the fans allocate the seats among themselves when they get in there. Worked perfectly well for 100 years.
