Biffen 12,949 Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 Remember when you could take sandwiches to the footy? Remember when the ground had green grass instead of advertising all over it . Kids could sell peanuts or lollies that were just plain peanuts or lollies? The announcements at quarter time were for cars blocking other cars or lost kids? I'm just over the Coke Betair NAB Carlton United Hungry Jacks GWS ,Etihad ,McDonalds ,KFC crap and all the inflation that goes with the whole "EVENT" and it's management .Fans from all clubs should fight this crap and refuse the AFLS food ,music , Venues ,sponsors ,"entertainment" ,bad TV deals ,new bogus clubs and the constant shiiling of [censored].
Curry & Beer 5,444 Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 It is played in the MCC reserve just as loudly too, so no one is spared. Its great to chat about how good or bad a quarter has just been and with BARNESY pumping at 11 it is bloody hard to hear anything. The only song i want to hear at the ground is Grand Old Flag. and they go 'at the end of the first quarter its the dees trailing the pies by 15 points' over the loudspeaker.. yeah there's a couple of scoreboards dhead.. I gues the announcement is for all the blind dudes that come to watch a game of footy

Sir Why You Little 37,450 Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 and they go 'at the end of the first quarter its the dees trailing the pies by 15 points' over the loudspeaker.. yeah there's a couple of scoreboards dhead.. I gues the announcement is for all the blind dudes that come to watch a game of footy i can handle the scores and goal kickers,even the SEN guys warbling on, that's footy. But the loud music has no relevance. Give the crowd a chance to take a breath.
Macca 17,127 Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 I was at a Final in 2002 or 2003 involving Collingwood and saw 2 Pie fans rip a speaker out of the wall in the standing room area ! No more noise ! Maybe we could recruit some of the filth to do our dirty work ?

Macca 17,127 Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 great! I love the MCG but i would have applauded that.... People did applaud ! I think it was in the middle of a SA-KA-TA advert - I just laughed .
Biffen 12,949 Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 Aussie Rules Supporters Union!!! How about it? or Aussie Rules Supporters for Equtiy ARSE
hardtack 11,104 Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 Wouldn't "Aussie Rules Supporters Entity" be a better title - the acronym works better. Edit: curse you Biffen... you beat me to it! :-)
Sir Why You Little 37,450 Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 People did applaud ! I think it was in the middle of a SA-KA-TA advert - I just laughed . That stupid bouncing rice cracker!!
Sir Why You Little 37,450 Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 How about it? or Aussie Rules Supporters for Equtiy ARSE I think you guys are on to it!!
Macca 17,127 Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 That stupid bouncing rice cracker!! To this day I've never bought a packet of these things . Because of the incessant advertising of the product at the G during 1 Grand Final . Sometimes advertising doesn't work . Just on the noise at the G - there are spots which are "quieter" than others . Standing room isn't too bad and the bars are ok as well . Just means you have to leave your seat a bit but it's better than being treated like a "subject" in "1984" or the like !

I gues the announcement is for all the blind dudes that come to watch a game of footy Well I guess that they think Pies fans cannot subtract 30 from 45, or maybe even read the names on the scoreboard ? But yes, bloody annoying, and pointless.
Sir Why You Little 37,450 Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 Sometimes advertising doesn't work . So true. 2 words. Frank Walker.
Mono 460 Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 We care why? Tom chased $6m over 5 years; who wouldn't. Bogan Phil cashed in on his kid. QED. Move on
Macca 17,127 Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 So true. 2 words. Frank Walker. Ha ha ha ! Sometimes it comes down to principles and for some of us we take a stand . More people should do it but alas ............... It's all part of our easy going nature (generally) . I'm not sure that the sports fans in the U.S or the U.K would put up with the ear piercing adverts but I may be wrong .

I'm not sure that the sports fans in the U.S or the U.K would put up with the ear piercing adverts but I may be wrong . Next season will be interesting. There are a lot of cynical footy fans out there, not just on here. The game will survive but i do wonder about the broadcasting deal. Who has time to watch 9 games a week!!!Big Risk.

diesel 420 Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 I would be on the phone to Sheahan today if i was the MFC with a top membership offer. He is an "elapsed" Demon with contacts in high places. Useful. No. 1 Ticket Holder?
Range Rover 1,935 Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 So true. 2 words. Frank Walker. The fact that his name springs so readily to your mind shows that unfortunately it does.

Trisul 674 Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Did the title of the thread get a cease and desist?
