Crows Chat That 'Doesnt Deserve Its Own Thread' Thread part 2

[Cromulant]

I generally drive from home, park in Topham Mall and walk across. There's only 3 dedicated buses from Barker to the footy and they all go through Bridgewater, Hahndorf etc and it takes forever.

Would rather get in my car and drive, particularly for night games.

I did cop the increase during a Strikers game a couple weeks ago, decided to be lazy in the heat and park at the ground. Wished I hadnt.

Perhaps different for football.

The VAFL negotiated a reduction in priced for the likes of pies, chips, water, etc at Melbourne venues but not others.

If we are really the AFL, shouldn't they ensure basic catering options are reasonable in all venues?

That was a thing in the mid-2010’s when Gil was first in charge but I think they’ve since crept their prices up to be on par with most other venues.

Mind you, I don’t think anywhere has pricing as obscene as the SCG, though the SMA are giving them a run for their money now.

Plenty of parking options in the CBD for those that are able to do a 15-20 minute walk.

The old RAH car park normally has a flat rate of $5 on nights/weekends if you prebook (not sure if that gets inflated match days though)

Around the time of the redevelopment it became fashionable for the local media to refer to Adelaide Oval as, 'The Oval', thank **** that died out.

And the Portress.

That was funny while it lasted.

Back before we each had kids a mate and I tried it once in the early AO days and it was nuts. Took hours just to get back to the original drop off point at Mt Barker at which point I still had another half hour drive back to the Bridge. Never again.

Yeah I cant see why anyone would catch the bus from Barker, let alone Murray Bridge unless they REALLY had to.

I catch an "express" bus for work every day and its purely a cost saving thing.

I can’t see why not, it’s listed as sky city restaurant and bar.

The only downfall is you have to navigate the world’s worst car park.

But if your already having a drink or something to eat before or after it’s a no brainer.

I do enjoy that place, can get crowded but if you're in early enough its not a bad place to eat and drink.

The summer of finding random shit continues.

$25. AFL, you’ve changed.View attachment 2206643

Ours were certainly more expensive than that! lol

Park there sometimes, still $5 for footy and cricket. Nice walk along the Torrens too.

You need a drink or three to navigate that car park

When do public sale tickets usually go on sale for home games?

When do public sale tickets usually go on sale for home games?

Nowadays they release the first lot (that is rounds 1 to 15 or whatever it is) in one big hit usually in February.

Then the rest of the season usually a week or 2 after they announce the dates and times for the last lot (May/June).

 

[George Kramer]

lol, when is Triggs?

How does the cost of providing parking suddenly increase by 50%?

I don't use it, but surely this is the type of thing the ACCC should investigate.

The SMA just want to rort all their consumers.

But hey the VAFL reduced food & drink costs at the MCG & Docklands.

No doubt the strategy is aimed at reducing pollution by influencing patrons to use public transport. What they’re doing here is really a community service.

“Service to” being used to describe being paid to do your job always amuses me.

Should go to those who truly do good work in the community.

Unfortunately most of these people are low profile.

Oh wait, there is one

Agreee, in principle, but is Chairman a paid job?

Absolutely, however to get one requires an argued recommendation/application from other community members, such as you and me, and we're too lazy. The political types can talk their mates into applying for them, and are more active.

We need this added to the emoji list
