ROUND 4 GEELONG v RICHMOND
SUNDAY, APRIL 22, MCG, 1.10PM

LIVE TELECAST FROM PUNT ROAD
Due to a heavy restriction on the availability of tickets to Skilled Stadium, the club has organised a special event for Round 4 v Geelong, which will be held here at the ME Bank Centre, Punt Road.

We will be holding a carvery lunch starting at midday, prior to a live telecast of the game. There will be a special guest speaker and tours of the brand new facility at Punt Road.

Tickets to the function in the Maurice Rioli Room which includes the carvery lunch are $35 for adults and $20 for juniors under the age of 15.

To purchase a ticket for this function, please click here [Ed: see your email].

This is function has been opened to all Maurice Rioli Club members and their guests.

If you have any queries, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Warmest Regards,

[WilliamPowell]

they're charging 

Why wouldn't they?

They are putting on a feed and opening up the place when it would normally be closed which means they have to pay for staff etc....

If they didn't put the thing on people will complain, they do something and people complain 

[cub]

I don't care I'll be in Geelong, should be free for social cub members and should be a choice if you want to eat or not!

$35 is a decent price. Ill get a feed, take a tour of the place and watch us play against geelong on the big screen. Have a few bevos at the bar and alls good

Agree.  Would attend if I was down that way that weekend.  Sadly my first trip to Vic this year is the first weekend in May - yep, vs Port at AAMI.

They may do something that weekend as well smokey, being an interstate game 

[WilliamPowell]

Actually I've just checked the Port game is on Ch7 (FTA) so then again maybe not 

I'll shut up now 

[10 FLAGS]

I think its fair value for those who want to attend.

Gee, how hard would it be for the club to put on a sausage and a can of Kirks lemonade, it would cost about $1 a head.
Staff? Club has a list of volunteers that may not be able to make it to Geelong.

Why should it be free? Because an 18 game membership is now effectively a 17 game one. I know you are an accountant WP but not everything is about money

I agree with you DC if they held that on Punt Road oval but I think the cost is tied in with running it at the social club - you wouldn't be able to use volunteers as bar staff, security etc so there would be a bit of cost and we can't be crying poor and putting our hands out (FTF) while we put on free functions to watch games that fans would normally spend money on/at.  Also, if they held it on the oval then there would be the cost of hiring a big screen.  Maybe not huge dollars in any of it I know but when most fans budget on spending some $$s at the footy anyway then that amount doesn't seem unreasonable to me.
