Sitting in the Cheersquad area

[Pates 9,659]

I haven't been to an away on my own in quite a while, and given that it's against Collingwood i'm kind of keen to at least sit with my own kind. The last time i did this i sat with the Cheersquad at general admission prices, it was open slather until it filled up. Is this still the case or do i have to pay extra (which i don't mind) and should i pre-book them? Alternatively is there another "Melbourne" area to sit in? (other than the MCC!)

Thanks in advance.

I know there's always a designated area of seats reserved specially for the cheersquad, however i have sat in the vicinity for no extra charge in the past, i dunno perhaps it was just because it a relatively empty area anyway (depressing i know!).

I hold a reserve seat membership, i've always preferred sitting on the win and in the old red seat zone, i've longed for the days of them bringing the cheersquad back to the red seat area! Ah well, i'll play this weekend by ear and see how i go.

While I'm not an official cheersquaddie, I have always gotten in early and parked my butt directly behind for the last year or so, will probably get on board with the cheersquad membership in the future.

Can't say I haven't sneaked in once or twice depending on seat availability.. I remember the Adelaide game last year, we needed all the support we could get in that horrible atmosphere, so in I went. Much better to see a sea of flags rather than a handful. We should be waving a flag in each hand, double the colour!

I do the same thing. I've got to say, we've got the quietest cheer-squad in the League. So any voices that aren't raw need to get down there quick.

The Cheersquad area is a designated "Cheersquad members only" area. If you are occupying a seat that is reserved for Cheersquad members and you don't hold a Cheersquad membership you could be asked to leave the area, regardless of whether you are a MFC member or not. Wearing red & blue doesn't automatically entitle you to occupy a seat in that area.

Cheersquad membership is a $35 add-on to your normal membership. It enables you to sit with the Cheersquad at all games, including Etihad Stadium,Skilled Stadium & interstate venues (and finals games, if we participate!.)

Since I am an active Cheersquad member I wouldn't dream of sitting anywhere else and I think my $35 is well spent.As part of this years package we also get a very sturdy members-only poncho. Most importantly I feel like I'm doing something positive for my Club. We are the team behind the team and we need everyone to turn up to cheer our team on for a win.

Officially, we don't have enough seats if all our Cheersquad members turned up for this game, so remember if you're not a Cheersquad member you could be asked to leave

Our cheer squad is the worst thing about our club. Our cheer squad sucks. Half of them don't turn up anyway. But they are a bunch without much cheer.

What's with the Royal Blue floggers that the cheersquad wave after a goal. Bring back the dark blue!
