It’s raining, lightly.

I don’t live far from Adelaide Oval and it’s getting very dark outside, The rain looks to be coming soon.

During the 70s I was a junior member and used to go to most games at the MCG. I sat next to the player’s race in the old northern (Olympic) stand. One day I got selected to carry the blackboard with the winning numbers of the match day members raffle on it. This was a big deal to me at the time as it ment I got to walk on the ground at 3/4 time, I did it for the rest of the season. Considering how bad our on field performances were in that era this stood out. Gee how thing have changed with our current performance. Go Dees

Bus or tram today? Got to be the tram as that’s how I got from Kew East to the MCG(No 48) back in the 80s. Go Dees

I paid $79 adult and $59 concession + booking fee $6.60 in row A of the upper deck, 2nd highest priced category. The highest priced were $99 adult + booking fee $6.60. Go Dees

We are going to.

I’ve got a couple of Crows supporters to come on Saturday night.

Yes got 2 barcodes.

I would expect a much better crowd than the last time we played a non SA team at Adelaide Oval. A whopping 2172 against North Melbourne round 11 last year. We can do far better than that on Saturday night.

The Crows match today had 15 000, though this will probably be increased for the Port match on Friday night 25 000- 30 000. The other matches I’ve attended had 30 000, the authorities like that figure.

Fantastic 3rd game this year, though I would have preferred flying over to the G and see it with 70 000+ fellow Dees supporters . Let’s see how many we can find in Adelaide.

Live in Adelaide, have an interstate membership and GF guarantee. Even fortunate enough to see 2 games live this year. Looking forward to flying to the G in the future.

Paint the dog.

Don’t remind me, the first game of the year I saw in person.

Tickets on sale this afternoon https://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/news/973112/round-17-ticketing-information

The tickets are handled by Ticketek, I see they have released tickets for the MCG this weekend. I gather the delay is due to the exact capacity of Adelaide Oval, 50%,100%.

As an interstate member I got a ticket about 1/2 hour ago. Straight forward and had a choice of 3 different bays to sit in.

As an interstate member I got a ticket 10 minutes ago. Had a selection of 3 bays, one behind the goals and level 3 and 5 of the Riverside Stand.
