What a Stadium

[RoBomber]

I have recently been looking over the Docklands Magazine in the Herald Sun and from looking at this I believe the ground will be great for football and any ohter events. It is a remarkable acheivement for the designers.

It is great to see such a magnificent stadium built in the best sporting city in the world.

Wallis Sucks!

Yeah, it's not too bad.

 

[absy]

See if you can dig up any posts from the period where they were building the 'G I'd be interested to have a read.

If you click on his profile you will see he was only willing to wait 3 years for a reply

And when he says Wallis sucks ....he's talking about Dean Wallis

Waverley was great.

Intersting to see an old bump smack bang in the middle of footy season - they usually dont surface 'til after September!

 

[Hoops]

bloody "newbies", have no idea

 

[buddyruff]

Has anybody been to Docklands yet? Looks like a great stadium!

 

[pepsi]

Docklands stadium is great. We got a good deal cos we were first to go there. I enjoy watching games it doesn't matter where you sit it is a reasonable position. It only takes 10 minutes to get there from my house, so I think its great.

'Victoria Stadium'.

 

[melbournemartin]

Have they dusted the sand off the surface yet?

 

[estibador]

It's shit.

Some of you Vics are a bit spoilt when you complain about an undercover stadium that's still pretty much branding spanking new. You should try watching games at Subi some time.

It still irks me that Fremantle play their home games in the inner city Perth suburb of Subiaco, rather than the "City of Fremantle". Dockers should be playing at Freo Oval. Goes completely against the Perth clubs v East/South Freo rivalry established in the WAFL. It's like forcing GC to play all their home games at the Gabba.

Atleast its on the same trainline.

At least your clubs can make a buck or two while playing at Subi!

That would be sweet! On derby day you could pay someone to break your legs. Hey presto corporate box a la freo hospital!

If we got the same crowds some of you guys do, we wouldn't make money either.

We were losing money on a lot of our games in the late 90s, and early this decade as well.

Can you at least drink beer in your seats at Subi?

I asked a Perth man at the Weagles vs Melbourne game the other week but I forgot his answer.

Yes, midstrength. As with at Docklands and the non-member seats at the G. At least at the G and Docklands you can get full strength at some bars. Great for half time!
