After some advice guys...
For the first time, signed up me and my 7 year old son as members... (If for no other reason to force me to turn up for the home matches)...
Great stuff Ace and welcome aboard OER
For the match against Carlton I have a couple of questions:
a) Is there a risk that GA members can't get in...
b) What will the seating be like for GA members...
c) Is it worth upgrading?
Cheers guys...
a) It depends on the crowd obviously. If the bandwagon pushes the crowd above 80-85k+ then there's a risk. Sometimes the AFL will say in that situation that the game's ticketed so people don't get locked out.
b) A 80k+ crowd usually means back of the top deck of the Southern Stand or Ponsford Stand unless you get there when the gates open (3 hours early). If you don't care about a seat you can always stand at the back on the ground level. Join the ferals
at the back behind the Richmond end goals. When I go by myself I stand with some people I know at the bay one over from the grog squad. Good fun with the chanting although the language at times might be not suitable for a 7 year old
.
c) If you would like the same guaranteed seat every week and the convenience of being able to turn up to the 'G at the last minute without having to worry about finding a seat then it's worth it I guess. Of course it costs more so that's a personal decision.
