There's three certainties in life, death, taxes and...

I just assumed it was allowed. No one else who’d paid $15 had an issue but that may’ve been because they didn’t know Geelong members were only paying $10. 

I lodged a written 'please expalin' to the Kardinia Park  Stadium Trust. Their response was :

"...

".....Thank you for your email.  We appreciate your feedback and understand your frustration over the variance in parking fees for member and non-members. 

 

We will include your concerns in our discussions with the Geelong Football Club in preparation for the 2023 ALF season, as they are the event organiser for AFL match days and determine the parking fees.  The Trust does not make any income from the parking fees collected on ALF game days.  

 

@GFC Memberships can you please pass onto your event management team. 

 

Please reach out if you have any further concerns.

 

kind regards....."

 

Thus the GFC as the Event Organiser under the Kardinia Park Stadium's delegation by their Act  can charge whatever they like. And our extra $5 is a direct donation to Paddy's contract fees

Given the elitist nature of the Cats re: pricing out ordinary folk I expect no change.

 

Direct action on Game day with media present and/or absolute boycott of the Crown Land carparks by parking in surrounding streets will probablay be most effective way of addressing this.

 

First cats home game is 22 April.

 

Worth a check then if anyone is in the vicinity.

and the silly thing about all this is the gfc strongly discourage opposition supporters by limiting numbers, so the number of opposition supporters' cars for parking would be even smaller.   end result is a miserly handful of extra dollars

You're saying we'll lose the first game?

Shouldn’t it be 26? 🤔 

We have an additional round this year so it’s 23 H&A matches.

You're right, you know.  I'd forgotten about the extra game this year.  26 it is then!

Death, taxes and some nump that jinx's us when they say we'll be undefeated.

There's three certainties in life, death, taxes and...

1. Triplechins being duplicitous
2. a game being won/lost thanks to the intervention of poorly calibrated technology
3. a game being won/lost thanks to the intervention of poorly trained umpires
4. Bevo, Lyon, Simmo, Hardon, Scott, Scott, Clarko blaming a loss/poor season on everyone else except themselves 
5. The usual suspects milking free kicks at every turn
6. Maysie flattening somebody/anybody then coming out and being BoG next game
7. Goody and Richo holding a 45 min. pressa and telling us absolutely nothing
8. Clayton winning the Bluey
9. Max will hit the post from five yards out directly in front
10. BT shuffling his ipod in the commentary box and asking Our Daisy to pick a tune.

2 down, 8 to go.

I thought this thread had been bumped by someone posting "and Steven May getting into trouble".

Which I guess I've just done.

We know how the story goes, re-write it!
