Thread: Hawthorn Next week - down at the MCG

    Hawthorn Next week - down at the MCG

    I have the filghts and hotel booked and am heading to Melbourne next weekend for the game with the family. So as I have only been to the MCG for the grandfinal a few questions.
    Where do Swans memebers generally sit at the MCG?
    Should I get tickets before or at the game?
    Is there an after match function (similar to the Noble Stand aftermatch) where kids can come along?

    You can just rock up on the day. That is the great thing about the MCG & footy in Melbourne, just rocking up on the day & sitting anywhere.

    The Cheer Squad will be behind the goals to the Ponsford (new grandstand, right of screen) end. You will be among friends if you hang around in that area. And will get good seats if you get into the ground early.

    Normally the RWO gang meet up at the cool Cricketers Arms pub across Punt Road from 4ish for a drink, a sausage sandwich & a brew or two. It is family friendly & normally Swans supporters outnumber those of the home team in there.

    Incorrect. No one will be sitting in M52 B8 but me.
    And you can't find nothing at all,
    If there was nothing there all along.

    It depends on how much you value the view of the game.

    Usually there are only aftermatch functions after day games.
    Someone told me yesterday that there is a childrens clinic on the Sunday but I don't have any details. Maybe there was info sent out to junior members.

    So does that mean you have to send the kids on their own?

    Ahhh - but how do they define kids. Does pampering one's "Inner Child" meet the criteria?

    "not for the older kids" I think is the exact phrase.
