The White Marquee Bar Showdown Game Pics

Now I reckon this is operated by the SMA (in desperate measures against us). Can anyone confirm?

Apparently they do have their own bar made to look like an extension of our facilities, of course.

One thing that annoyed me was the bar directly behind me last season sold James Squire Pale.... Has been replaced by Heineken this year and I now have to walk around to this little bar around the corner to get my Pale.

Boo ****ing hoo.

1st world whinger.
 
i went to the fan bar or whatever it was called, but not downstairs where the loudness was going on. great set ups though, looking forward to hitting it up an hour or two early one game and doing it properly with Port people!!

could not find the four n twenty pie cart anywhere, was it inside the downstairs part?!
Yeah that top bar is run by the SMA, I saw there was no cheap pale ale & immediately went downstairs as I heard the SMA had some sort of knock off set up close by trying to steal business from the Village.

Luckily not many people fell for it as it was a ghost town whilst I walked by it, next game if I see someone up there i'll be steering them towards the Village instead by telling them the profits there go to the club.

Is this what was set up for the crows game last week ??

Apparently their pints were $6
 
I saw TSW and figured that was the BF table. Too intimidated by the celeb factor to say hi.
haha <3. Not a BF table, but were a few of us there.

The Top Bar (The Fan Bar) is run by the SMA to attempt to take customers from The Gameday Village.

The Gameday Village is cheaper, better, has much better food and 100% of profits go to the club.

Don't call for the SMA's bullshit and head downstairs for a brew and support the club directly.

Big guy with the beard and the beanie scared me.
 
They may not have paid $'s for them but they have paid with their time. I have a mate who comes to the footy with his 2 kids. I will be staying with our 4 seats whilst he takes his kids to the Power Playground to keep them amused for an hour or so.
How did you go getting unreserved seats in the members now there's even more reserved seating?
 
can't believe they conned me hard with their tent. i bought a 5 dollar pasty inside too. i'm going to beat up an SMA employee next week to compensate. they had people in Port polos serving too, how deceptive.

We got there just after the gates opened, got seats easily. My mates kids have nagged us to get front row seats all of last season so we got them but they have been told never again - too many kids.

For the next 90 minutes or so, he took his kids to the outside area (I am sure he snuck in a beer or 2) and I sat and listened to my music.

Had a few people look at me non too happy when I said they were reserved but you know what it's first in best dressed. These people calling them unreserved are right, up until someone get there. It is the same rules as GA in the Western Stand in the unreserved areas.
 
Pre game at about 4.15 - 3 hours or so before the game

Called in for a quick coopers around 3.30pm before i had to line up. Saw TSW standing at a table with mates, and they were graced by KT's presence for a bit :) I would have said hello, but on a mission to grab a certain seat.

After the game a mate dragged the Mrs, Daughter and me to the Casino ( begrudgingly ), wasn't our thing so we choofed off back to the WMB for another couple. Then some idiot starting chucking tennis balls around and that was it for us :D

I reckon the only downside to the whole setup was a product of its success, the lineups - at least before the game got quite large for a while there.

I suspect that's something that gets fixed over time.
 
One good thing I did notice was they sold Coopers stout. Might be the go when the weather gets cold. It's also good to down a couple quick ones if you want to get buzz up quickly!
Was it you who used to fill coke bottles with stout and take them into footy park?
 
The Fans Bar. Lol.
When leaving GDV before the game I walked past the FB and it was totally dead. I went up to have a nosey and it was crap. Funny thing is, when you're up there you look over the GDV and instinctively want to leave and go down there.

Liked how the enterance of the GDV was on the road...I was immediately drawn in by the colourful flags, the scent of beer and the fairy lights :)
