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 :

@GFC Memberships can you please pass onto your event management team. 
 
Please reach out if you have any further concerns.

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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
