Skilled Stadium Seating For 2009

[Meow]

Hi Guys!
I just have a few queries about the Seating Gaga at Skilled next year!
WTF is going on with the Doug Wade Stand? Are they going to demolish it or what?
What will they be using the Temporary Stand for? Will it be for people who lose their seats in the demolition of The Doug Wade Stand (If it goes ahead!)?
Or will it be General Admission like it was this year?
And finally, the most important bit, what's going on with the Gary Ablett Terrace General Admission Seats?
Will they give us back the two bays they took off us or what?
Will the Wristband Mafia still be there with their sly faces?
Will I have to get there even earlier next year to get a seat using my Walk-Up Membership? If so, what time?

Cheers!

(P.S: There were four General Admission seats in the Gary Ablett Terrace (together) left at 1:00pm for the Bulldogs Game (It was a 2:10pm start)!

no doug wade stand is not getting demolished and NEVER was. the past players and the one next to it (the one that looks somewhat like a bustop and the brick one with a tac sign on the roof) are the ones that are getting upgraded. These stands are coming down this summer. I had a picture of what this stand looked like my unfortunately i had to get a new hard drive so all my stuff was lost. All the peopl who lose their seats in this redevelopment will get a seat in teh temp stand, but, i think, they get first crack at seats in the new stand when they come up for sale.
hope that helped

Thanks, mate ! Damnit, imagine if we played Hawthorn! I'd have to camp out ! Now, I hope they give us back the two bays they took off us in the Gary Ablett Terrace (As if they will!)!

What about the Manual Scoreboard?
I'd hate to see that go!

The scoreboards are terrible, in my opinion they should have either renovated the old classic style one, or bring in modern electric ones.

im sure they'd move it
i mean, they moved it between the '07 and '08 seasons
AND there is one out on the gary ablett terrace

I think they're fantastic, immensely adds to the Suburban Style of the ground!
In fact, the 'Geelong' painted on it is actually Navy Blue instead of Black (If you walk up close to it).
They are great except for the fact that the guy operating it stuffed up the final score in this year's game in Round 21 against North Melbourne!

I agree in the sense that I like the manual-nature, but do you remember the old scoreboard? I liked that one way better.

I used to do the scoreboard for Falcon's home games and the old scoreboard was awesome.
I hated it when they tore it down because the manual ones suck.
The numbers weighd a ton and i had to drag them from the changeroom around the outside of the ground to the scoreboard.
Not to mention there's no protection from the weather and it seemed to rain more often than not.

Thw worst scorebaord though was at Werribee. I don't know why they played home games there but one day there was a huge storm and i was absolutely sh*tting myself sitting in a little metal box with lightning everywhere.

it would be nice to see a permanant replay screen up and a scoreboard displaying general statistics from the game. You only get the score and nothing else as opposed to G and TD where you know pretty much every stat under the sun. But then again you shouldnt need a high tech a scoreboard to display game stats during the qrt breaks. I dont know why they dont do that.

Yeah, they should do that, display stats on the scoreboard.
There is also another one, an Electric One on top of the Ford Stand.
I agree, Quarter by Quarter Stats is a bit painful and a waste of time, but General Stats would be fantastic!
