NAB CUP 3: ST. KILDA

[Longsufferingnomore 1,637]

If anyone has not noticed both Leighoak and Bentleigh Club have a fantastic deal for this game.

It is includes lunch, bus trip out to Casey, entry to the game and a "roast dinner" on your return - all yours for $50 adults.

Parking and getting out of the ground will be horrendous and seating probably non-existing so get on board the bus and support the Club.

There are more details on the Club's website.

Just on Parking, never been to that area, is there street parking nearby?

It's a number of grounds out at Casey. There is enough parking in the surrounding area and a decent sized park just outside the ground but it can get messy if there is enough people coming and going at the same time as there is only one entry/exit point.

Leave early or late I would say.

[Sir Why You Little 37,122]

Will be heading over to the St. Kilda game with a mate.

Who else will be in attendance?

Does Demonland have its own Grandstand & Full Bar facilities?

Would love to share a few cold ones and see the Aints get throttled.

[Allen Jakovich 516]

I'll be there. Can't wait.

I'll be on the non-GS wing and am always be up for a frothy or two!

Should go to Bunnings on the way out there and buy a tent, Demonland Members Only. Half the crowd will be from here!!

[Deeoldfart 8,061]

Unfortunately I'll be stuck at home 600kms away, but I'll be at Casey in spirit, glass in hand, and hanging off every progress report that you good guys are a able to send via my favourite website. Thanks in anticipation!!

[hells bells 2,023]

Can anyone recommend a place to park? I'm thinking of taking my 3 year old for his first Demon experience and will be driving. From the MFC website I get the impression that parking at Casey Fields is limited and could be an issue.

Any advice...

[Trisul 664]

Will be there,

Parking should be fine really, especially if you get there even a bit early. The roads inbound through Cranbourne / Clyde can do get congested.

Edit: Got to one game at quarter time last year and had to park in the area behind the goals instead of behind the stands but that was a 5 minute walk instead of a 2 minute walk.

ill be going and taking my son hoping he can get nice and close to some players.

i went 2 years ago (i think) when we played the eagles out there and it was dead set caotic getting to the ground so i will be getting there early

[Allen Jakovich 516]

Yeah, the actual parking itself is no problem, it's the roads on the way in that aren't ideal. I think if you get there early it's all good but trying to arrive at game time you're going to be in a world of hurt.

[low flying Robbo 979]

I'll head down if i've got nothing on

Going nude then lfR?

[RalphiusMaximus 6,088]

They'll be charging for parking, but have a free bus from the train station. Not exactly a good thing for those of us who have to drive. Also, it looks like the arrive before the game thing is shot given they have a big get-together planned for the families beforehand. I still plan to go along of course, but it is a minor annoyance.

Well I just purchased a lot out there to build on that's a 5 minute walk from the ground opposite the athletics track so I might just have to park on that...

[Undeeterred 3,124]

Not sure if serious.

Maybe you can offer discounted parking?

3?

My advice is to wait till round 1. Port better first up choice. Ground will be full at Casey and facilities not ideal, will probably spend game holding him. Round 1 will be against interstate team at the G. More space, better facilities.

Is my plan for my 3yo first Demon experience anyway...

[biggestred 5,136]

Is it on the box?

There's fun and games on pre-game. He'll be ok.

[Daz's Dee's 113]

I'm taking my 3 year old think I'd prefer chasing him round Casey then the mcg plus kids activities

[Maldonboy38 6,406]

I live 15 minutes away from Casey. The parking is really good. Limited capacity and definitely not sufficient for the crowd likely for the game against the Saints. Arrive really early if you want a definite car park.

The ground is usually excellent but they had some grass poisoned by an over zealous attendant who killed more than the weeds. There is still some speculation that because of this the game might be moved. Keep your eyes on the MFC website, especially the morning of the game.

I can't believe I have a wedding to attend. Murphy's %$@&* law again. I will have the AFL app on most of the day - maybe even during the ceremony - and I am conducting it!

The grandstand is good but is small, and many people end up on the eastern side of the ground due to sun glare. There are 3 long shelters on the eastern side of the ground. If you come be prepared for wind (it is NEVER still at Casey Fields)

[RedsoxMan 144]

Is it on the box?

No it is not been Televised - Hopefully the club might stream it?

[waynewussell 6,237]

I parked 200 metres West of the ground a year or so back. It was in a local business car park after hours. No problem after game. Just a brisk walk. I will be driving, but getting there early is a must, given local estate traffic and distance from MCG. No Bars, as such, just regular country football canteen. Buy up and stack em up is my suggestion!

[demon_fanatic 4]

Hey guys.. I heard in their Local Paper that crowd is being capped at 10,000 and that tickets can be pre-purchased to avoid running the risk of missing out.. anyone else know of this?
