what about when it's melbourne's home game Tigra?
Your kidding right?
1) their fans don't show
2) they have the MCC where most of them congregate anyway.
3) we were the first club to have over 1 million spectators watch a season (1980)
And that's when we had to go to all the away games at all the small sized ovals like junction oval, windy hill, western oval, victoria park & kardinia park etc.
So who helped pay all those MCG bills from 1965-1980?.... Melbourne?????
4) do they have any fans that show up?
5) I think that Melbourne are such a rabble of a club that should count themselves lucky they don't get kicked out of the MCG altogether.
6) even if we allowed for your point that it was melbournes home ground first. I might say fair enough in melbournes case if any of their fans bothered to show up at a game maybe then you'd consider letting them use our punt road end. But all other clubs can go and get stuffed!
