InMyHeart Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Surely we couldn't fill an entire bay just yet? Should start with scraping bay 16 and extending 17 back to about 2/3's of the bay imo. This is it ! Spot on, this needs to be done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR9 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Well That was a raging succes... Watching the reply now, probably fair to say that is the best we've ever sounded, except for maybe derby 5. There were still a few luls but something we can work on considering many in there last night had their first taste. Now to work on getting a full bay 17 instead... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR&W Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Last night is exactly how it should from now on in. Being in Yarraside and experiencing that type of atmosphere reminded me of going to the Derby, electric atmosphere! Having watch the reply of the game today aswel, we looked superb, and sounded great. Last night's set up with the Yarraside and the sorrounding bay, how it should be from now on in! Hopeful of another turn out like that for our next home game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hedaik Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 The timing of the game helps a lot as youre kinda forced to start drinking 3 hours before the game once you finish work. Beers usually the last thing on my mind for the Sunday games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baddersss Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 People sitting down left of bay 17 Also cohesion needs to improve and chant involvement I was standing in 17, and to be fair, there were a LOT of toddlers around, seems the parents didn't get the memo about it being standing/active. Saw a fair few standing up, then sitting straight back down so they weren't blocking the view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heart Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 I was in bay 17 on Friday night and was good but there were to many people sitting down and when we did stand up to try and make everyone else stand up, we started to cop it from the people behind us. Oh and there were a few little kids amongst it all and actually some of them were more active then the old bastards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what people have to do, just stand in the area, people will then realise, its active area, and join in, or they can go find another seat in aami if there that annoyed. Dont let them try and make you sit down! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont let them try and make you sit down! I'll come bay 17 next home game and stand with u guys. The more people standing, the clearer the message will be that people who want to sit can move somewhere else. Also I'm still holding a bit of a grudge against pert glory after the finals elimination last season, so it'll be great to be there in full voice n get our boys over the line just like earlier this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexiano Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 It's bay 16 you're talking about? 17 is the middle one. 18 is the shady side a d 16 the sunny side. We stood in 16 and weren't going to budge for anyone. Holding the banner certainly helped with the cAuse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wrapped that it's GA coz at least for now until I get a membership I can still be close to the Yside. Standing n chanting is significantly better than being behind and sitting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PouCamp Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 I saw one chap in the right hand bay about three rows from the back ( glasses and tatts?) who was determined to stand despite the pressure from the families with toddlers around him. I salut you sir for trying. I have had similar issues as a regular in that bay being wanting to stand but no one else doing it. we need to draw the line from here on in.

Joel21 Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Continue to resist the "view impairment'' complaints, keep up the good work all those who try to stand even in the face of annoying "sitters" it's great to hear of people determined to get the active scene expanded!

alexiano Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 According to Scott Munn on twitter tonight, he said that 3 game flexi will be allowed into active. Looks like they're opening it up for rest of season. TennielleB @OneMelburnian @scott_munn Just wondering if the 3 game flexi includes any active support areas? My orderly is keen 2 stand! #whatalegend Scott Munn @TennielleB @onemelburnian yes it will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marteaux Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Will never forget the old lady who sat smack in the middle of the terrace and sat all game. And just grumpily stared at the people in front of her. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepdog Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 its a sad reflection of the way the game/stadium is run these days that people are being dictated as to whether they have to sit down. Its a football match ffs!!! Embarrassing almost. If i wanted to sit down i would go to the tennis. Also some blame should be directed to the people that do sit down in these areas. Surely they know what they are getting themselves into by choosing to watch the game from these areas. Its not like they dont have another 75% of the stadium to choose from as well.

pringa Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) The Club would like to clarify the South End seating arrangement for the remainder of the season at AAMI Park. After the success of our ‘Own the Experience’ match at our last home game, we can confirm that the front half of bays 16, 17 & 18 on the South End of the stadium will be open Active Supporter areas and are therefore STANDING ONLY. This is a key aspect of the active supporter experience and we want to make sure there is nobody sitting in there. The areas will have a tarp to indicate the difference between the two categories. All other areas of the Yarraside will remain General Admission and GA members have the additional option of the North end of the stadium.

heartrate Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Would be great if the club informed security of this "standing only" in bays 16-18. Anyone sitting during the game should be forced to stand or sit elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone sitting during the game should be forced to stand or sit elsewhere. It was mentioned in fan forum to ask that it is shown in full view on Screens to ensure that these are standing only. Whether they tell security as well, that would also be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natalie182 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 My mum just told me 'I got some email from Heart today, something about bays or something but I got confused'. I explained it to her, but agree they definitely have to make it clear on the day as well. I plan to stand and don't want any issues!
