Now back to my previous state of being less concerned about cancellation and more concerned about getting shizhouse seats again. The seats in front of the hill section where we sat last time are so low down my kids couldn’t see over the fence, and I barely could either.

You ‘G regulars don’t know how lucky you are. Some seats are better than others, but there’s literally no bad seat in the house there. I’ve never found one anyway.

Don’t mention good seats at the G this season. I’m glad we can attend, but the joke of not being able to use my $700 a year chair... Oh boy... I rage!

Yeah it definitely was Tuesday originally, and I stupidly spent 15mins trying to buy a ticket at 11am this morning, until it clicked??. And I just ran into Big Maxxy at 7/11 Frankston, and asked if he knew where the game is going to be played, and he said whilst they don't officially know yet, he sounded pretty confident that the game will go ahead in Hobart.

Paywalled HUN article seems to suggest game will be in Melbourne.

Meanwhile, what happens with ticketing?

Surely the best thing to do is to move this game to Marvel Stadium at 1.10pm on Sunday and reallocate a later North game to Blundstone? 

This would allow tickets to be sold to the supporters of both clubs and avoid the uncertainty and a possible fiasco.

Now on sale at 2pm going by the Ticketek site. Surely a decision has been made by now.

Why do people keep saying the later  game can be relocated to Tassie, we only play North once.

I hope it is moved to Marvel. One less interstate game (albeit a very short trip) is a great thing.

They mean a game against another club.

Yeah I don't get this. Obviously the final decision rests with the Tasmanian State Government so I don't see why a decision hasn't been made yet.

It's never rained under the roof at Marvel.

Of course it is better for us to play at Marvel. Firstly we play better there, secondly good preparation for our big game there against the Dogs. Less travel, no weather to contend with. It would be a big advantage to us.

Well I hope they mean between North and another club.  It has nothing to do with us.

Thunderstorms predicted for the Gold Coast.

Why not relocate the game to there and put the teams in a hub for old time’s sake?

I’ve emailed the AFL about playing at Marvel this week, then swapping our 2nd game against the Bulldogs with the Kangaroos in Tassie. No word back yet, but I’m confident it’ll get the go ahead.

Is that correct? I thought it leaked quite badly in the early days. Perhaps I'm mistaken.

Some other suckers to play down there .... maybe Collingwood or Essendon.

it definitely leaked.

[Purple77 1,001]

As a Hobartian, hoping like hell it'll go ahead at Blundstone!

[FritschyBusiness 1,478]

I doubt it would be moved if it hasn't been already
