(Grand Final), to attend or not attend, that is the question.

[eZyT]

I reckon this is a tough, possibly not hypothetical, question.

If I have to answer right now, I answer Subiaco.

I'd drive across the desert and forgo the home ground advantage to be there

Obviously, we'd need some detail to make an informed vote (i.e. would Twiggy Forest get 20,000 seats for a Subiaco gf, would interstate supporters be allowed? etc etc)

but assuming your choosing between poles (empty or full G; theres no chance you can attend/a slim chance you can attend), how do you choose?

 

[eZyT]

I think Subiaco has been demolished now but Perth Stadium would be ok.

I think if you can get a crowd in you play the game there.

im not good with change BR.

I still tune in to Footscray playing South Melbourne on the wireless

My argument has always been that we use the MCG because it is the only ground which can handle such a large crowd.

Empty MCG or full Subiaco is a no brainer: full Subiaco easily (by the way, happy to have Subiaco rebuilt for the purpose, as a small child I lived in Perth and Subi was my team - we want our ground back ).

Presumably the MCC would be happy to not enforce the contract that would usually mean the GF had to be played at the 'G?

Staggered that 8 people have voted MCG.

I voted for the MCG. Purely to wind up the interstaters.

It looks like Victoria will be the last state to get back to business so all of our home games will have to be in the late rounds. Just in time to play finals at the MCG again.

Quick, somebody find Alanis Morrissette. That would be ironic.

I'd support a Perth GF is if it was WCE v Collingwood

To be honest this stuff is all a bit premature for mine.

yeah, will believe it when I see it.... but I guess there's not much else to talk about footy-wise.

Knowing those knuckleheads they would beat WC

That’s a very real possibility, they don’t play badly there, not that they go there very often. Whinge and *smile* about us not leaving home, it’s always been the Pies that get favoured by the draw. Have they ever played in Tasmania? When was the last time they played the Cats at Sleepy Hollow?

 

[Al Bundy]

Take 3 days to drive over to watch the Tiges win another GF. Flights will be about $2500 or $3000 return. Plus some 40+% loading on tickets alone ++ .
Nah Stuff 'em. Empty MCG for me, let the saltiness continue

11 home games at the G before finals would be nice

 

[Tigertool]

Im very happy to play the GF in Perth, but I can’t be arsed with the whole “let’s play all GF’s at a different venue” argument that will flow on from playing this grand final elsewhere as a once off.
