As has been pointed out ad nauseum, it’s not just the commute, rather only having the option to sit in the worst seats at the ground in the elements. I’m sorry, but don’t make out people are lesser supporters because they demand modern comforts of normal stadiums.
Okay not lesser supporters, but extremely precious. Didn’t you grow up watching footy in the 80’s? Not many feathered armrests to be seen in the stadiums on those replays.
Yeah I did, but I still sat in the stands except for the odd game when I was really young and I couldn’t see anything but most sport stadiums around the world have evolved and you get a seat, except the AFL where we have to put up with terrible outposts such as Ballarat, both Tasmanian venues, NT and Canberra. I’m sorry but in 2019 we all deserve better.
Okay. GMHBA hosts major events year round but I guess you can forego your free ticket on the grounds of lack of comfort. I just personally don’t see how you can complain about the number of games but still pass up a golden opportunity to see the boys play, especially when the prices are usually $70+. You would think someone with your viewpoint would jump at every and any opportunity to go to games. Just my take.
I am sure the AFL will reply"" we have 6 games against Melbourne teams but North has chosen to play x games in Tassie and Geelong is just down the road." They just don't care. Didn't care when they sent us North and nothing has changed...........same crap each year. I think the BRISBANE Lions are doing an excellent job of including us Royboys but the AFL omgggggggg. I think this season we will rip it apart.........Go Lions
What free ticket? Vic Members are paying for it anyway.

Have you also bought into Swann's BS that Vic members are getting a 'free ticket' when our membership prices have not been reduced despite less games?
Astounding that anyone laps up such BS that the club are making up for the lack of games in Victoria. I am sure 95% of families would rather cheaper memberships to account for less games than a price freeze on memberships for less games so that the club can dress up their BS by giving those fans a "free ticket" that they won't use.

Right, the ticket is included where in the price where previous years it hasn’t been. Whatever you want to call it it’s actually a gesture by the club whether you want to acknowledge it or not. To me it seems like you are emotionally invested in the club when it comes to criticising but you seem to lack dedication to actually going to games (and after match functions, if I recall correctly).What free ticket?

I’m so not dedicated that I go to all Melbourne, Geelong (as much as I hate it there) Perth and a minimum of two Brisbane games each year, not to mention Launceston about 3 times including last years game, so no, not overly dedicated.
I prefer Marvel games.....eyes r bit dodgey for the big MCG now........Marvel a much better viewing ground if the roof is closed with transport or carpark very close. I have 4 grown sons n 4 grand kids and they r not fussed which ground we play at. Use ur powers of persuasion and u can usually talk urself n family into ground level as the ground is normally only 1/2 full.....things may change this season.As said depending on weather on the day we prob go Geelong night game. 90+ min drive there and back.
Like the Rat game this year depends on weather.. young twin boys do not do well with bad chests and cold.
Funny I look at the fixture think might do cats game .. Prob a lock for the two games at the G
Then I look at the docklands games and go ummm maybe.
Apart from having the atmosphere of a dirty sponge, getting nose bleed seats while the bottom two decks empty. Food prices and lack of places open.
Last couple of games Metro either stopped trains around the loop on my line or replaced with buses
So maybe I should ask for 6 games a year not at Docklands he he he
...yet you won’t go to Geelong with a paid for ticket and continue to tag kn the club at every turn? Okay.
Swans got six Melbourne games, they are boasting about it on their site. "Two cities, one team".
Fixture a win for Melbourne faithful
‘Two cities, one team’ is the message from Sydney Swans General Manager – Melbourne Jonathon Monasso after the announcement of the 2020 regular-season fixture, released on Thursday.www.sydneyswans.com.au
