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.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
