TBC = The Best Came

Congratulations to all that came and cheered as it was one of the most vocal and supportive St Kilda Crowds at a game I can remember.

16,710.

Of those 16,500 were St Kilda supporters.

[Mr Magic]

It was the first game I've attended this year.
We parked underneath and ended up walking what seemed kilometers as we were shunted from one entrance to another trying to get up from the carpark to ground level.
When we finally found an entrance that would let us in we found we then had to go back outside and walk around half the ground to get to our gate 5B. Once inside we had to then walk back to the entrance we had come up from to get into our section (33 on L2) where we found our seats for the game.
I kept checking our regular reserved seats (L2 38 row C) on the wing and didn't see anybody using them.
So why couldn't we get our reserved seats?
Surely St Kilda knows who they've sold reserved seats to?
Why can't they just give that information to TicketMaster who could just allocate those seats when the member logs in for his/her tickets?

I was actually quite surprised by the amount of West Coast fans that were there. There were quite a lot, considering how far from home they were. Could have easily been a quarter to a third of the crowd, at least where I was see anyway.

Would make too much sense.

Not true. A major downside of not being able to sit in your allocated, costly reserved seat was being surrounded by Eagles supporters. The one directly in my left ear last night was a human hemerroid who gave us all a very loud running commentary of the game. It was like being surrounded by 10 Brian Taylor's.

The only relief was we gave him plenty back after half time and he fell silent during the last quarter as his love affair with his beer intensified.

The crowd. Disappointing but understandable. It seems you must hand over your information to Ticketmaster and own a mobile phone or you don't go to the footy. Period!

We listened to the Magpies v Giants game driving home. When they announced the crowd, just over 28,000, my wife and daughter said it was poor for a Collingwood home game. I said it was pretty tough for their supporters to get a ticket. (1) they have to steal a mobile phone (2) they'd be well and truly rooted when they had to spell their names when opening the Ticketmaster app!

Same here. I only park underneath because of my current health so I can use the lift. They were turning people away from the lifts, making you walk back up the vehicle ramps. And the wobbiegongs working there insisting on checking through your boot as you enter - what and whose authority do try have?

There were hardly any Eagles supporters at the game yesterday. I saw very few apart from a couple of hundred behind the goals at their cheer squad end making some noise, there weren't any there. Were you sitting behind their cheer squad? A couple of hundred people can make a lot of noise when the rest of the crowd is silenced by the oppo being on top.

Are you saying there were 4000 Eagles supporters at the match? No way. Maybe 500 tops. If you were near their cheer squad end goal or maybe a bay allocated to their 'Victorian Members' it may have seemed like a lot, but remember when the opposition are 6 goals ahead and the home crowd is silent several hundred supporters sounds like a lot. Certainly when we got on a roll I hardly heard any noise from their supporters at all.

2 maybe 3 BT's tops is all a human is required to tolerate.
I do not support violence but the the 3+ BT rule allows sufferer retaliatory action up to a maximum of:
- 1 direct face punch or 2 slaps
- and 2 body shots
- NOTE...you may request to trade 1 kick to the sweets for 1 body and 1 face shot if a bystander, who also suffered the within the 3 BT rule, will act as adjudicator.

We were level 2 bay 47, the Coventry end. Believe me, there were plenty of WC supporters. They have a decent Melbourne supported base.

Above the Eagles cheer squad, directly behind it. That's why.

[SaintDippa]

I have the standard GA memberships, booked tickets and rather than getting level three seats ended up L2 B26 row C. That's directly behind the goals Lockett end. No charge.
Was I just lucky or is GA now getting free L2 seats?

[AuckSaint]

For all those who went to the game, thanks for supporting so strongly . It came over as a far bigger crowd noise than the attendance number.

And you didn’t have to listen to Dunstall and Lyon S***can us until right before the end when they jumped on the winner’s bandwagon....

I grew up in Melbourne, but moved to Perth for various reasons a few years ago.

I can confirm that the comments from Trev From The Bush are quite relatable, as folks who are Perth-born behave just like that.
They are arrogant, nasty, opinionated, self-obssessed, have poor social skills, not just in a footy scenario, but in life generally.

Try to get a tradie or mechanic to do some work for you.
They don't know 'conversation' they only know 'argument'.
Most horrible Australians in the nation.

I went over there in 90's for the opening of a new children's court. Dropped in on a training course. I found their sexist chauvinistic attitudes to be appalling and at least 20 years behind the rest of Australia.

No, that's not why. If you think they all come from WA you needed to see how many of them were in the car park under the stadium before and after the game. Either they'd stolen Victorian registered cars or the were from Victoria. I didn't see any floggers (flogs, perhaps) so I don't think they were cheer squad members.

Well, I wasn't in the car park Trev, but I was at the stadium, the concourse outside and on public transport at Southern Cross and there would have been lucky to be more than 500 Eagles in attendance going by -

a) crowd noise, and
b) club colours worn and carried by attendees observed, scarves, guernseys, caps, flags, etc.

Ticket states which gate you can enter and suggested time-
Carpark booking states that lifts should not be used apart from disability. ( do wonder why do the police park their car right at the top of the steps/ lift to bourke st entrance after the game - when more peple are being directed back that way

As rows have been eliminated from purchase there will be others ( me and companion) that cannot sit in their seats- so the 'Ticketmaster BOT gets to decide.- Random- just like the computers from the 1970's.

people who book later get designated the spare spaces.

even when/ if it goes back to 100% sooner rather than later- I imagine it will be a little while before the club can insist we get our 'preferred ' seats back

BUT I do love a winning vibe

They have Victorian rego cars? Some could be hire cars. The rest belong to folks born in WA who haved moved to Melb.
Like I moved from Melb to Perth and have WA plates, but support a Victorian team
