CATS CHIEF RESPONDS TO $10 ENTRY FEE WITH CHEEKY TIGERS CLIP

By Andrew Slevison

Geelong CEO Steve Hocking has explained why the club charged a $10 entry fee for last weekend’s practice match against Richmond.

It came just days after Carlton, now led by former Cats chief Brian Cook, charged a $15 entry fee to non-members over the age of 18 for last their pre-season match against St Kilda at Ikon Park.

Cats members entered for free while the general public, including Tigers members, copped the $10 fee.

Hocking did make it clear that his club charged less than Cook’s, while taking a cheeky swipe at the travelling Tigers, who are not often forced to head down the highway for a Geelong home game.

“We were a little bit less than that, we come in under Carlton, it was only $10 here,” Hocking said on Sportsday.

“Certainly Richmond supporters coming down the road, we need to charge them I would have thought.

“It’s enemy territory here, so (it’s) pretty important to make sure that they’re paying.”

Of course, the Tigers have been afforded the luxury of playing recent big ‘away’ games at their home of the MCG against the Cats which is a constant source of discussion.

Sounds like grounds for a supporter's boycott on going to their poo hole of a ground at all!  Stay home, have a few frothies & watch it without all the aggravation from the half-breeds down there ...   
So nothing has changed since last year then - SHocking is still a massive jerk!    :wallywink

That’s a surprise , Hocking showing his true colours as biased against Richmond. And his rule changes?

What a sad, bitter and obsessed little worm!  ::)

No Tiger wants to go to the Kardinia Park Retirement Home  :wallywink.

SHocking will only be remembered for his idiotic rule changes that still couldn't rig his Cats a flag. Yeah, what a legacy to the game  :nopity.
