The annual Metropolitan Fire Brigade v Victoria Police Charity Cup football match will be held at Punt Road on Sunday, July 2 from 11am in the lead-up to that afternoon’s Richmond-Collingwood ‘Blockbuster’ at the MCG.

Apart from watching Victoria’s finest footballing firefighters and police battle it out on the hallowed Punt Road Oval turf, there will be a stack of other highlights, including emergency vehicles on display, police dogs, Milo give-aways, Red Bull give-aways, a special Playstation bus, free Fire Brigade showbags, an Auskick clinic at half-time, conducted by AFL players, face painting, raffles and a sausage sizzle.

The MFB side will be coached by AFL great Bernie Quinlan and he will be assisted by former Melbourne player Bret Bailey, who is now a firefighter.

Entry is by gold coin donation, and all proceeds will go to Richmond’s “Tigers in Community Foundation”.

In the lead-up to the Charity Cup clash, special blue and red wristbands can be purchased from the Club at a cost of $2 each.
 
The Firies can give some of the scumwoodites a bath, and the police can increase their cases complete percentage by arresting scumwood fans for crimes against taste and humanity. :police:

Be good if it was at the MCG.

Yeah but I bet you wouldn't get the same atmosphere, even the G is too clinical for some games in my opinion.... just my opinion...

It also will hopefully get people to Punt Road and viewing all of the sponsors around the ground and getting into the Tiger Den etc.

Tiger Mecca !
