And the early signs are that next Saturday they will come from all over for the game against the Tigers ... Capacity [at Whitten Oval] is now about 12,000 and the Dogs will go close to packing it out.

I wouldn't trust the stands at western oval. Could collapse any minute with a big crowd

Pretty ordinary to be honest

Some of the nearby streets have restrictions

Would suggest if you are coming to get a ticket upgrade

No guarantee a membership will get you in .... grantstand seating is sold out I believe and they've sold a fair number of GA tickets

Lots of permit and time limit parking around whitten oval because I think of the hospital just up the street. Imo park at a nearby train station and train it there as the ground is close to a stop. Sure it will cost a myki ticket if you don't have one already but the cost might be cheaper than the hassle trying to park close to the ground.

Western Bulldogs will host Richmond Tigers in a twilight NAB Challenge AFL match at Whitten Oval

A $1.5 MILLION redevelopment of Whitten Oval that’s bringing AFL football back to the historic ground will be ready by kick-off this weekend.

The Western Bulldogs will host Richmond Tigers in a twilight NAB Challenge AFL match this Saturday, in an iconic return to its former home ground.

It will be the first AFL-sanctioned match at the venue since Round 21 in 1997.

The upgrade will bring the oval’s match day facilities up to VFL standard, with new change rooms, coaches’ boxes and ground lighting improvements.

It will allow the Footscray Bulldogs to host more home games, up from five last year to at least nine this season.

Bulldogs acting chief executive Michael Quinn said as part of the development, perimeter fencing had been put up to create a safe environment to host larger scale community events, festivals and sporting fixtures.

“The venue will continue to remain open to the public as it has in the past, with numerous access points present across all sides of the precinct,” Mr Quinn said.

He said the upgrade would provide training facilities for the Victorian Women’s Football League and support the WRFL Youth Girls competition.

Yep there is a new car park near the train station too. Just need to walk across the foot bridge from the train station.

Would suggest people park over in Williamstown road (near the old rising sun hotel which is now apartments) and walk from there. For memory no restrictions otherside of  the rail line

We couldn't even win there when we had Hart, Bartlett, Sheedy, Bourke and Clay playing for us under Hafey!!!

Would be amusing if Boyd has a shocker and McKenzie kicks a bag.
