Fortunately I got my ticket weeks ago - but both Rooty Hill RSL and Ticketek websites report the game at Blacktown is sold out.
In 2008 we couldn't get 20,000 people to a home final, now, after missing finals all together, we're going to sell out a 10,000 seat venue for a NAB Cup game.
I know the weather was atrocious that September night, but something about that seems a little odd to me.
I am looking for two adult tickets to the game on 20 Feb at Blacktown. Rooty Hill RSL has sold out. Can anyone help?
Well, I paid $32 a few weeks ago and received 6 tix in the mail for Sat week.
You needed to pay twice that much and then some for one ticket to the final.
It didn't stop me of course, but the casual observer is not going to fork out that type of money.
This was discussed at length at the time.
Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09
The final was too dear, at a venue where most people hate to go, badly promoted , and the weather was worse than atrocious, and had been all day.
What rule changes do we have for the NAB cup.The only one I have heard is that the boundary umpires can pay a free kick. Also how many interchange are allowed?
I had been told (and I stupidly believed) that the game had a live feed into sydney fta. It does not. I am not having a good start to the season.

The big rule (and one I look ofrward to most) is the new advantage rule. The player with the football will be given the sole responsibility of deciding whether an advantage exists or not after a free kick is awarded. If the player continues to play after the whistle is blown he will have taken advantage, regardless of the outcome. If he props the umpire will (if neccessary) return the ball to the infringed player and play will resume as per usual.
This would be most apparent in goalshots, where in the past the umpire has called advantage, the player has kicked a point and then the umpire returns the ball for a free kick. Under this new rule the behind would stand as the team took advantage at the free kick.

I think it's a terrible rule. If the player doesn't realise a free kick has been paid and plays on into trouble, it's play on. If a player plays the whistle, he basically takes the whistle out of the equation anyway. Not only that, but if the whistle blows, and the bloke decides to take the advantage, you'll have a field of players standing around while he darts on ahead. It will be far too confusing.
Officially on the Reid and Sumner bandwagon!
