Richmond sell one home game to the Gold Coast.

But I'll be there  - the peanuts (aka the Cubs) are very happy that I am coming up to see them and yeah they're pretty stoked about the Tigers too 

You callin' me a peanut WP?   

 

Nah Smokey

The peanuts is the joint nickname for my nephew & niece - I've always called them the peanuts....

I haven't seen them for nearly 2 years since they moved up to Brisbane to live, so a couple of Tiger games in Qld is good for me because I get to see them again

I call my 2 grandkids that live with me the "ferals" and it's pretty apt!  I've just had to put on the ogur mask because I caught them in the backyard covered in mud after being told to keep clear of it.  Still, life would be pretty boring without them.  What area of Brissie?  I live northside, near Caboolture.

What crap was Watson carrying on about Friday morning. I heard a replay of it last night of him going on about how Richmond playing on the Gold Coast is a sign of us being in financial trouble and all this garbage  . Andy Mayer of course joined in as well. Did they both miss the news that Carlton with Pratt's billions are playing a game up there too  .

So what is the replacement game and more importantly, the AFL site says tickets for the Gold coast game go on sale 20th March.

Is this a free for all or do members have priority booking or what, some info before they go on sale would be nice RFC !?

I am booking flights and accom this week, not happy Jan if ended up with no ticket ! but that's highly unlikely 'old fox too cunning'

Tickets on sale in March for the July game?  Or is there going to be another game, apart from next weeks and the July game played up here?

[tiogar]

Understand the $$$ angle but personallyI am deadset against it.

I pay significant $$$ dollars for my membership and I don't see why I should lose a home game in Melb.

Having said that if playing a game on the Gold Coast means we are guaranteedall our remaining games at the MCG then this sort of deal looks appealing.

 

There is only one way to guarantee 10 games at the G. It is the way Colligwood do it. Average 60,000 there.

The Lions vs Tiges NAB Challenge tickets are on sale today from 9am today according to the ticketmaster site.

No mention of our "home" game up there on the ticketmaster site. The AFL site says H/A season tickets at the Gold Coast stadium go onsale on March 20.

So what is the replacement game

From memory it's out of 3 away games - Melbourne, Carlton or Essendon - in the second half of the year. Given the popularity of the latter two and trying to fit all members of two big clubs into the MCG at once, IMO they'll make the replacement game the Demons one. By then all their supporters will be up at the snowfields lol so there'll be plenty of room and good seats on offer.

[julzqld]

Woohoo - got mine!
