Hey guys

Well im doing it! IM FINALLY COMING TO THE G!

Was not sure where to post this but wanted as much help as possible as i prepare for this!

After being a supporter since i was in grade 9 i am finally going to the G for the first time! I think....I HOPE!

My youngest brother is turning 21 and we thought as a present we would pay for his return ticket from brissy to melbourne and accommodation!

Some questions

1)We are right for tickets for the game if we are all members? right????

2)We plan to come on Saturday morning and go back to Brisbane Tuesday! so 3 nights. Where do you suggest we stay? REMEMBER we are all either students or unemployed people!

3) We want to participate in the whole queens birthday celebrations like the walk etc.

There is 4 of us coming!

Any other help possible would be great, we are creating a kitty as we speak to help with the costs... If anyone can help in any way that would be fantastic with advice etc.

P.S Sorry i have been a bit inactive with the boards,i have a lot of Tafe and stuff on!

Thanks guys!!!

re: admission, it will depend on your membership, but I'd assume so.

Maybe best to call the club & check first?

Thanks mate appreciate it

Ring the club mouse, they will sort you right out mate.

Mouse, google YMCA here in Melbourne. I know it sounds a bit naff but would be right for the budget. Leave more to celebrate our win! When you ring the club find out if they are going to have a function after the game even if it is an away game. Have a great time whilst you are here.

Urban central is a bloody fantastic backpacker. A good friendly bar in there too, and it cheap as chips.

Well done for making it to the G.

If you have an interstate membership you will get in on those cards. They allow for five home games so that will surely qualify.

I hope to be down there for that game as well and taking my nephew who lives in Melbourne. I will be staying with them naturally but if I can be of assistance just let me know.

Accommodation I will leave in the hands of those who know. I never have to worry about that fortunately as an ex Melburnian I still have family and friends I can stay with. They come in useful now and then LOL.

Should be a great day and hopefully we get revenge on the Pies that day.

As an aside did you see my post re Qld Demons membership and player sponsorship?

Check out Demonland's sponsor re: accomodation - http://www.melbourneinfocentre.com.au/

Let us know if you have any trouble getting in.

I may have a spare ticket for the MCC.

Won't know until a few days beforehand though, I'm afraid.

Thanks guys!!!

Regarding--

1)Ringing the club and them fixing me up? How do you mean by fixing me up?

2)DemonDeb- Had a little glance at the player sponsorship but as soon as i see money involved i unfortunately know its not too possible at this time. Being a student is dam hard financially!

3) Bail- Yep pretty happy how the bloke is going! My brother is over the moon and when we watch on tv he gets all excited when he gets the ball, pretty cool feeling having a mate play for the club ya love.

Thanks guys so far for your help, will let u know updates

Main thing is to make sure that your membership allows you entrance into the ground so ring the club and explain your predicament to them. They may have some suggestions.

If you have an interstate membership you will get in on those cards. They allow for five home games so that will surely qualify.

That would be a good thing if it was a home game. Sadly, it's Richmond's home game, so you may have problems getting in on a Melbourne Membership. You could try to convince the ticket sellers to give you a student discount which would put tickets at around $13.50. Not sure what sort of concession cards you will have.

As for accommodation, try these sites for hostels.

Shouldn't be too hard to find something in your price range.

Thanks guys!!!

Thats ok Mousey, I know how tough it is on limited incomes. As a MFC Member tho, you are a Qld Demon so PM me with your email again and I can send you the membership form.

QB is a Melbourne home game so your membership should you get you into that one. An away game is a different story.

Good luck
