Best place to sit this Sat night, as away team/ Seating this week [Merged]

[tigerjoe]

Was great to be back at the G last Friday night.

Being a home game I had my reserved seat in the Great Southern Stand, but this week as an away member can someone suggest a public area to sit in that isn't in the nosebleed section of either the Great Southern or New Northern stand.

As an away game our cheer squad will probably be at the City End? Is the new Ponsford stand reserved seating?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Can't wait to give it to those arrogant Essendon supporters!

We always sit at the top of the southern, behind the punt road end goals. Always plenty of Tiger supporters there, whether it's our home or away game. Good atmosphere and not bad viewing, as long as you sit in the bottom 10 or so rows of the 4th level.

Go Tiges!

Does anybody know if this weeks game is a fully ticketed game?

With the capacity of the G & the current form of both sides, I would highly doubt it.

Up the top of the southern stand, behind the goals giving crap to the big fat ugly Essendon supporter who always wears the red and black checkered shirt with the black beanie. You can hear this guy from a mile away.

Thanks for the suggestions.

One thing everyone should take note of and that is:

Although this is an Essendon home game at the MCG, the two clubs have a joint gate-share arrangement this season.

So following on from 55,000 last week, 60,000 this week will help our bottom line a great deal.

Re: Best place to sit this Sat night, as away team

last week i bought reserved seats for this game. i'm sitting on level 2 in the ponsford stand. as i'm a 16 game member, it only cost me a further $14.

funnily enough i went to the roos v demons game last saturday and sat in almost the same spot (though a couple of sections closer the the MCC members area). that tells me this game is probably fully ticketed.

Wonder how long this arrangement of sharing the gate will last for.

I remember Richmond getting greedy sharing the gates with Collingwood and as a result we dont play them as the opening game of the season anyone. It was always great beating Collingwood first game of the yr.

Seating this week

Hey guys,

Checking out the Scummer website (Yes i feel dirty even typing it into the address bar ) - It appears they have similar MCG to us - ie: Ground level in Southern & Northern.


Does anyone know if the Ponsford Stand will be GA on Sat night?

Have a look at this link nwo. It might change your opinion a little.

Seems to me like it was one of the few sound decisions off the field the club had made in recent years.

The sections above the old red set area are a good spot to sit.
