Not me. I like my undercover seat

 

[Brasil2007]

I have a seat (just near the opp supporters cheer squad on the terrace) but often end up in standing room when I go with friends. You hear and see some funny stuff there. A highlight this round were a north supporter saying "When are they going to do this bloody ground up?" Obviously given the state of Arden st he'd never seen a stand under construction before (and he also missed the fact that Brayshaw would give his firstborn for a ground like Skilled). The other highlight was the bloke in footy shorts and jumper wearing a blond wig - now that's commitment.

I saw this bloke too when i went on a beer run before the game started, very impressed!

My highlight of the standing room on the weekend was the not-so-sober lady who said, and i don't exaggerate, 150 times during the match - "Kangaroos can't swim"

Now what that had to do with footy i'm not so sure, but she was very insistent that Kangaroos can't swim...

Done. I love the standing room.

Standing there with a beer in each hand freezing my arse off is great.

Kind've lame doing the same thing more than once.

Actually kangaroos can swim.

Tim was there with a friend of a friend. God it's a small world.

Saw him then later casually told my mate. He went nuts and spent the rest of the arvo trying to spot him as he is a massive fan.

Standing room rocks!

An avid sports fan since childhood, Rogers has been known to enjoy a game of Australian rules football, most recently playing in the Community Cup charity match for the Annual Sacred Heart Mission, Melbourne in 2005. He is also a very vocal supporter of the North Melbourne Football Club, joining in the fight against the Australian Football League's push to relocate the club to the Gold Coast, Queensland, including hosting a benefit concert called 'Roo-sistence', featuring You Am I, T'N'T as well as many other popular Australian rock bands

And to think that Jet started off as a You Am I cover band! Their only redeeming feature is that fact that bass player is a Cat. Not sure on the other three...

Makes you wonder about Magic Dirt actually..they're from Geelong.

 

[maryjames]

i wish there was more standing room, i grew up with that.. city end should go back further with standing room. also when they say sell out, in the standing room area no way is it full.i remember going in the early 90's and back then they packed em in

I remember the last time we played Essendon down at Skilled late in 1993, they were asking people to bunch up in the outer to let more people in. Think they had over 35,000 in that day.
