JC22 Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 It will be at AAMI. I would be filthy if it wasn't. Sick of watching us try and pass the ball on cow paddock's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wfc_10 Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 In terms of decent local grounds, can only think of Hume City's ground in Westmeadows, or Bentleigh's at Kingston Heath... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted August 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Won't matter where it is unless we fix our defence. And I can't see that happening in the time between now and then. Any overseas players who aren't here by now aren't going to be settled and match fit by the time the match is played. Why we FU our squad like this every season is beyond me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CouchandPotatoExpert Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Seems like a tough game but I am pumped this will (hopefully) be at AAMI. It will be good to see us against a decent team that won't just park the bus so we can see how the new signings are gelling into the squad.

I get that its an unpopular opinion and I don't have a family etc. to worry about getting to the game. Practically speaking AAMI is the best choice, I just wouldn't mind it being played elsewhere for selfish reasons. Speaking of being selfish, somewhere closer to Geelong would be nice just so i dont have to travel hours to and from the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get roughly twice as many attendees at those games as we do for a game against anyone else. It seems like an opportunity lost to me. Even though $10 is cheap, I think it would have been a great gesture to open the gates for signed up members and it would have given us a much better opportunity to get a decent crowd. As it is, I think we'd be looking at about 5,000, absolute tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's been marketed too heavily so far and I doubt I'd know about it if I wasn't a City member (granted they've got over two weeks before kick off). Wednesday night is difficult as well...Cahill notwithstanding, I think you need everything going in your favour to get a big crowd for a September mid-week game, because you can probably forget about any club's visitors (besides Victory) turning up in big numbers. My concern would be that the team puts on a show, looks outstanding and mops the floor with WSW, but then they show the highlights videos and potential members notice the rows of empty seats as much as Fornaroli and Cahill, whereas maybe they fill the bottom tier, if they open the gate. It's tough to get enthused about a team that looks like it's playing in front of an empty stadium. In fairness, the price isn't going to be the difference between me going or not going (more so the mid-week CBF/just watch it on TV factor), so maybe everyone else is like me and the cost won't make much difference.

IMO you will find that they release section by section depending on ticket sales. The more sections are opened the higher the costs of cleaning up afterwards. Against Wellington they opened Level 1 West and entry was via Gate 7 and they opened Level 1 West. This year it looks like Level 1 East because entry is via Gate 2.
