Friday Night against the Tig's

WaggaSaint · Post: # 705053Post **WaggaSaint** » Fri 27 Feb 2009 9:31pm

Anyone know the venue for Friday nights game, and any other details, like tickets etc.

Suprise, suprise, the AFL site doesn't offer any of this information.

it's in Shepparton Friday night from 7pm - see thread down the page a bit.

Don't know much more at this stage

Ta,

knew it was in Shep, but didn't know specifically where it was. was hoping it was within staggering distance of a camp site!

hellorocky · Fri 27 Feb 2009 10:14pm

Hopefully a Shep person will know that.....we are coming back home after the game

Last time we played in Shepparton it was at the East Shepparton ground, about 6km from Shepp going in from Benalla.

Only guessing, but I think it would be at Deakin Reserve, the home of Shepparton & Shepp United. It used to have a bitumen bike track between the boundry and the fence but i'm told that has long gone

Kingy would have a home ground advantage !!

game def at deakin reserve. papers down here talking up a crowd of around 8 to 10 thousand people.
tickets on sale at local city council from monday morning.

I've just edited the other post with a few more details - sounds like pre-purchasing might be the way to go

WaggaSaint · Sat 28 Feb 2009 12:44pm

Just found the details....

There you go, answered my own question! Now just gotta find a pub with accommodation within staggering distance!!

Cheers all!

i got mine this morning! picked them up at 9.30am, ticket no 3hundred odd.
if they sell at that rate it might be a good idea to get in early.

....and we also need a couple of volunteers

Person A, wholl be at the game and is prepared to sent phone/text updates to Person B, who'll be able to type some updates on here

WaggaSaint · Post: # 706645Post **WaggaSaint** » Wed 04 Mar 2009 7:58pm

Got tix today!!

For all the penny pinchers out there, adults are $13ea.

Since I'm coming from Wagga, I'll be staying down there for the weekend, and suprise, suprise it's a long weekend in Victoria (we always miss out in NSW), and it was difficult getting accommodation... Got a room at 'Flanagans Irish Bar'.

Anyone know this place? is it full of fleas?

aussierules0k · Wed 04 Mar 2009 8:03pm

Anyone know if it'll be on the radio?

WaggaSaint · Post: # 706658Post **WaggaSaint** » Wed 04 Mar 2009 8:17pm

And I'm hoping that I can see Benny have another yak, like last Thursday!

I hope we kick the Tiggies buts convincingly, as we need to make a statement coming into the season proper -would also help boost to membership numbers.

We would want to kick them with the players they have out but I dont it would have any bearing on membership. People are to smart to think these games have any bearing on the year at all.

Has the squad been announced yet?
