Skilled Stadium

[thommo16]

Hey Guys,

Just a question. I'm thinking of heading down to Skilled this weekend, and I was just wondering how they operate. Do they have the barcode scanners down there. I have an 18 game membership with the Hawks, and wanted to use that to enter the ground. Do they still have General Admission area. I haven't headed down there in a while

Thanks

No they dont have barcode scanners, all you do is show them your membership, and they look at it, and walk in... Arrive early though due to reduced capacity.

Last year, the Skilled Stadium people used the old clipper hole-punchers, and took out some chunk of the card, but not this year... just showed it to the old lady and let me through.

From GFC.com.au

Geelong v Hawthorn update
There are no seats available for the Hawthorn game. There are only 900 general admission available for pre-sale. There will be 2000 general admission tickets available to Geelong members and Hawthorn members with away game entitlements on the day. This is on a first in best dressed basis. Please note that gates open at 12pm.

------------------------------------------------------
BTW,the gates open earlier than 12pm,because theres a U/18 curtain raiser starting at 10.45am.

There is a disability / pension discount.

Just ask your 'special bus' driver for a voucher.

We were stressing about all getting in and sitting in our miniscule Cheer Squad area, but we all got in with no problem at all.One guy even showed his Sydney-based Swans membership to get in. And the old codger on the gate just nodded and let him in.

I like Kardinia for some reason. It really has that country feel about it.

They still use the hole-punchers, my membership card looks like it was accidentally left at a shooting range.

Dont knock Skilled, it will be a very smart little stadium next year when the redevelopment is complete...and it will be all ours .

 

[ARDENSTREETforever]

lol... they didnt even touch my card either, showed it to the attentdant and said, walk through... Simple... Yeah it will look better when completed. Well that really wouldnt be a hard task.

Givin the number of shocking games I have seen there in appalling conditions... you would have to say 'Skilled Stadium' is a rather ironic title.

 

[mintonconnell]

Think you'll find that the curtain raiser match has been shifted to Werribee, apparently so the ground doesn't get too chopped up. Can't confirm it but pretty sure it has.

Only shocking to outsiders, they are superb to us. Brings back memories of real football, in atmosphere, conditions and a true home ground advantage.

 

[catfan29]

To 'coasting' how many games can you name in appaling conditions in the last five years at Skilled Stadium? I can not think of more than 2

I'll be pretty darn p*ssed if it is, was looking forward to seeing Lewis, Meesen and the Gooleys in action.

Ground must have crap drainage.

Surface at Skilled is as good as you'll find in the competition.

You must remember that to some sheltered souls, a breath of wind is considered appalling conditions.

Couldn't be as bad as Unley Oval's

Always contributing eh yob.

It was voted #2 best surface in the league in the last players survey. (Footy park was #1)

Yeah, it's amazing. The amount of games played in the cold and wind and rain, you'd think Footy was an outdoor game played in winter... oh, wait...

Skiled Stadium = WORST stadium in the AFL.

 

[LongBomb]

It warms the heart that opposition supporters hate it so much.

A lot of supporters would never have seen their club win at KP. Might have something to do with the hate.
Is it 16 years for Melbourne now?

Anyhow, it's a great ground, great surface and we love it.
It is a fantastic asset for the club - we make 1/2 a million a game at KP and now that no one can win down there again, even better!
