Melbourne v Western Bulldogs @ Eureka Stadium Ballarat - 14th March, 2015

Guys, as being a local Ballarat Dees supporter I'm just giving you the heads up if you are attending the NAB Cup game v Doggies Saturday 4.10pm start in Ballarat.

If travel by train check the VLine site for times etc then a short Taxi ride from the station.

By car, turn off the freeway at North Ballarat and the ground is 5 mins away.

Parking? They will try to slug you $5 to park next door at the Showgrounds...cheaper to turn East at the Subway/Servo and park down a side street then it's a short walk to the ground.
Show this years membership card to get in for free.

Last years game here Blues v North had 7850 crowd and I would think max would be mabye 9000?

You will be standing! The small grandstand will be full of players families and officials etc.

If you can't stand all day you would have to take a chair and get there EARLY!

If disabled I'd assume contact the AFL as would be normal practice.

The only tiered viewing is the Northern end near the scoreboard behind the goals.

If watching from the east (highway side) expect the setting sun to be in your eyes.

The ground will have a great atmosphere and the surface is exceptional, if the weather is nice pop into town early have some lunch and make your way to the match. Alternatively arrange to have a catch up for a bbq with friends at Lake Wendouree then off to the game pumped up for a Dees win!

Enjoy the day!

You really need to get your priorities sorted. This is our grand final.

Good luck, MD...congrats to you and your bride.

Have a fantastic day!!

Good info, thanks Clucka. Could you recommend a couple of pubs for a counter dinner post match?

If it's your shout ,may I suggest Craig's Hotel.

Dressed like that??


I am assuming this game wont be televised?

Credibility zero!!I have followed your advice in these matters before Biffen and have suffered both emotional and financial hardship as a result.

I'd be looking at The Western Hotel in Sturt St.

Your credibility would still be ahead of Biffen's, even if you were a blind teetotaler who had lived all your life in Romania and never visited Ballarat!

I'll redefine the make up so it is clearly red and blue.

Maybe you could have a big screen with the match on it during the ceremony? Are you playing Grand Old Flag when the bride walks down the isle?

:):)

Ah well ... as I'm sure you're aware dc, it's good to get off the leash on occasion.

The Richmond & Melbourne theme songs are our exit songs at the end of the night.

I believe max into the ground is 8000 and after playing our first game away there should be good crowd there. I think the Club/AFL were advising members that if there are more than 8000 you may not get entrance to the ground. So you should (if they are still available) by a $6.00 ticket from Ticketek (I think) which will ensure that you get in - just quote your membership number.

Any chance of getting a Spanish paella with a quinoa salad while I am up that way?

Seems a little awkward to get there and back with the train times displayed, anyone know how much the trip would cost on the train?

If Biffen recommends the place then a "mixed grill" would be considered haute cuisine. Nothing at all for the more cultured palate.

Agree the most suitable train arrives about an hour before the game. Just have to go to the pub I suppose.
