They're just jealous that "little ol' Geelong" was able to fight to keep its home and they couldn't, it's that simple.People sooking about games in Geelong are a disgrace.

Without having to count... how many of these big roof things are going up total?
Is that all of them done now, or is there more to do on the la trobe side?Number 12 went up in the early hours of this morning-
Still 5 to go on the west side.Is that all of them done now, or is there more to do on the la trobe side?
As a Hawks fan was here for the AFLw game, and with only the Brownlow/premiership stand being open it meant that the away teams fans couldn’t really sit near the players race which is a bit annoying
Fair I guess I just thought when you’ve had this much redevelopment done over the years they could have moved the away rooms to the other side lolIf you think they’re staffing a stand to allow oppo fans to sit near a walkway used 3-4 times for a total of 10 minutes over a 3 hour footy game, you haven’t run a business… get real chief
They are. They’re going in the new stand being built rn. Also the rooms underneath are used for gameday, but also club purposes during the week (all four programs across afl and vfl) as well as some community use (rehab/physio). New stand will also incorp local cricket too.Fair I guess I just thought when you’ve had this much redevelopment done over the years they could have moved the away rooms to the other side lol
I can remember those wodden slat seating. IIRC about 6-8 rows max around the ground in the GA.I heard that a full house of 40,000 folks in the joint will bring in $1.2+million per game.
11 games x 1.2 = 13 plus million profit.
If so, well done to the club.
Our facilities will be first class.
Our stadium a unique fortress.

Fook we have really come a long way since my days of standing on the muddy slopes down the City end goals.
Go Catters!

Or get there early during the ressies match.I can remember those wodden slat seating. IIRC about 6-8 rows max around the ground in the GA.
Had to RUN to get them.
Lol.
Nah early nineties you had to get there before gates open. The gates on the western side opened 15 minutes earlier than on the Moorabool St side. We'd (kids) line up there, get in, and sprint around behind the then Hickey stand and grab a bench near the front, laying out a scarf to save a spot for our folks.Or get there early during the ressies match.
Definitely had to get there before the gates opened back in the 50s and 60s; of course, there were only 2 rows of seats around the fence in the Outer back then.Nah early nineties you had to get there before gates open.

Recon you'd miss a seat if you came once the ressies started. Maybe a different story in the earlier years but in the Blight era it was a mad dash for a seat.
I used to like to get to a game early and watch the last 1/2 of the reserves to see if anyone looked a likely candidate to play seniors.Or get there early during the ressies match.
I used to stand in line at 8am to get a seat on the wing. I remember saying to my step brother - watching a young Riccardi in the reserves - 'I reckon he'll play 300 games.' He fell short but he was a class above even then.I used to like to get to a game early and watch the last 1/2 of the reserves to see if anyone looked a likely candidate to play seniors.
I used to get there about the same time, partly to watch the second half, and partly being short I wanted seat so I could see.I used to like to get to a game early and watch the last 1/2 of the reserves to see if anyone looked a likely candidate to play seniors.
LOL. My mate was the same... had to go early for him. But that was ok.I used to get there about the same time, partly to watch the second half, and partly being short I wanted seat so I could see.
