Scary Essendon contingent

[Rob]

According to Channel 10 news, Essendon members have taken just 600 tickets from their allocation of 4000. The remainder will be released to the public, with the total number available just on 14,000.

Wooooo.....look out for the Bomber army.....

I think the fact it was scheduled at 6:40pm WST on a friday night made it untennable for most melbourne based essendon members to get there. The latest flights on friday that gets there on time is at 12:20 EST, which means if I wanted to go I would have to take firday off work and spend a quarter of the weekend travelling. For most melbournians it is at least a half hour trip to the airport, checkin 1 hour before the flight, a 4 hour flight and then half hour Meaning 12 hours out of 48 is spent travellling. 3 hours at the footy 16 hours sleep, and 20 hours of leisure time.

Not really enough time to get value for paying 500+ for the flight.

I'm not complaining just a deterrent from going over. It should be a good match to watch on tv over here and I'm glad that channel eddie isn't broadcasting it otherwise we probably wouldn't see it live here in melbourne.

A question for all you WA people whats the weather like this time of year and when does it get dark? Is it going to be the first twilight finals match? Is it gonna be light for the first quarter and dark for the last three? Might make it hard for the players to adjust.

The weather was quite warm today and monday but thursday is possible rain but friday night fine. It doesn't get dark until about past 6:30pm not sure dont really look outside when its dark.

Sorry to disappoint you Rob, but that was just the Eastern States supporters, the WA members here have all bought tickets, I bought mine tonight with the other WA Bombers, tomorrow all the non member Bombers are getting their tickets.

Wait until you see how many of us are there friday, our cheer squad will be louder than yours.

Never heard of the place, but you seem quite familiar with it, something you aren't telling us.

And how many of you were at the House of Horror two weeks ago? One block of seats behind the goals (which was half empty) was not exactly a great turn up for your club.

Besides, not all of us will be in one spot...........

Telling supporters of a W.A. team about the hassle of travelling ..... welcome to the real world.

I think you are under estimating the sound even some quite reserved Freo fans can make, god help you when the "ferals" wind up.

Hope you got in early, they were all gone in an hour.

Hopefully all 600 of you can at least raise your voices above a whisper.

You keep telling yourself that. Tell the other 599 too.

For those of you that are unfamiliar with the concept of taking the p*ss, i'm taking the p*ss.

Seriously, if that's true, then where did all the others get their tickets? Other than the allocation to Essendon FC (who no doubt sold many through to WA supporters) and those that snatched some in the hour or so they were available today, i'm not aware of the finals tickets going to anyone else.
