NAB Round 4 - Swans v Suns

[top40]

I come from the southern suburbs of Sydney. As the crow flies, the Rooty Hill venue is a fair way away. However, in using the freeways in the south-western metropolitan area of Sydney, it's not a bad drive to get there, very little stress. It is MUCH better than spending over half an hour travelling less than 2Ks in the Moore Park presinct in car park like traffic to get to the SCG. That reminds me of those complainers who hate travelling to Homebush. At least the traffic gettiing there is not NEARLY as bad as travelling to the SCG by car. And Homebush to the public transporters is right next to a railway station, unlike the SCG.

I don't mind going to Homebush to games it is quite easy and the station is close to the ground. But your point about the ease of getting to Doonside/Mt Druitt is floored because you are driving. I am just saying I would have preferred to have the game played closer to my home and in our zone. The Westies are quite happy it is out there as it is easy for them to get to. It will take me an hour and a half by public transport and I don't know how to get to the ground from Doonside Station or how long it will take. We are playing in the Enemies zone where we should be playing in our zone and giving school kids free tickets to try to get more junior comps going in our area.

Would have loved it....only 15min drive away.

However, playing in cricket semi finals on Saturday.

I might go out and watch the practice game down here between GWS and Richmond... sure to be four men and a dog at the game. And to think just how much money the ACT Government is wasting by giving it to the AFL and GWS for 4 games a year... 3 home premiership games against the crappiest teams they can find and a practice game

It is if you don't drive. By the way Doonside is not Blacktown but I was referring to the Name of the venue. Doonside is closer to bloody Mt Druitt as I pointed out if you had have read correctly. If you drive it is ok but I don't drive so hence it is a long way by public transport. Why is it a slap in the face do you take these area things that personally? I made the comment based on my location and ease of getting to the ground. SCG, Drummoyne, North Sydney are all easier to get to for me. I was commenting from my standpoint epistemology.

Slap in the face was just kidding around, I didn't mean for it to be offensive and I'm sorry if you took it that way.

I know what it's like not to drive and can appreciate it can be a bit of a headache at times, but Lilyfield -> BOP just made me smile because it didn't seem that far to travel for a Saturday afternoon game (even by PT).

It is an hour and a half and I wasn't upset I thought you Westies were getting upset LOL. My time these days is very valuable so I try not to go to places that are going to take me a long time to get there. I am back at Uni and it is getting the the crunch end of my degree 2nd & third years this year. Half way through second and start third in Semester Two. Just a bummer for me but I will catch up on my reading on the train and bus.

Approaching from the south, the quickest way to get to Homebush from the M7 is to turn right onto the M4 Motorway at Eastern Creek. It should be smooth sailing from there to the Olympic Park precinct; it's about 20km away.

When you get within the vicinity of Olympic Park, there are roads signs directing you to the parking stations. Have you booked parking through Ticketek? Parking in P1 is usually $20-25.

If you park in P1, arriving a couple of hours before the game should net you a handy parking space.

Coming from the south take M7 then turn off at the Wallgrove exit ,Turn into wallgrove Rd head Nth and cross the Gt Western Highway into Rooty Hill Rd south continue about 1 KL turn right into Eastern Rd & BOP is about 800m on the left
