Mm, yes - walking from Richmond stn is looking more & more like my preferred option I think!

go to Hallam station, get zone 1+2+3 ticket cost $12.30 it takes 40-45mins to Richmond Station.

Is Hallam stn the closest one to Hampton Park then?...or do we need to go to Hallam FROM hampton pk to change lines or something?

Once we actually GET to richmond - we can just ask someone where to go, if we can't see anything!

Trains are an hour frequency i think

Hmmm, thats a concern - might have to try & get in REALLY early then...and just have a few beers, catch a few rays & catch some of that international footy curtain-raiser someone was talking about b4!

Cranbourne- 12.02 arrive at Richmond 12.52 12.42 Cranbourne arrive at Richmond 1.52 1.22 Cranbourne arrive at Richmond 2.12

Hallam - 12.28 arrive at Richmond 1.05 1.08 arrive at Richmond 1.52.

If you can get a bus or a lift to Dandenong Station (next one up from Hallam), trains run more often from there.

Mate, you're a champion!

I'm sure we can get a lift 2 dandenong stn at the very least! And one of those trains'll do nicely.

I'll see all u Stormheads down there then!...Good Luck - its ALWAYS a great game between us & you!!...Can't WAIT! ;-)

There is usually some sort of random curtain raiser. Last week's was Australian Aff. States vs Cook Islands.

An international. 8)

Round 24 the curtain raiser is Greece vs Victoria.

No buses run on Sunday in the area i think. but if your far away from the Station ring Dandenong Taxis 97912111 (i think that the number)

Go to: http://www.connexmelbourne.com.au/trip_planner/index.asp

You can put in the address of your friend, and Olympic Park. You also put the date of the game and the time you want to arrive by.

It will give you a list of the trams/trains/busses that you need to catch and at what time that will get you to Olympic Park at the time you want.

If you are not doing anything on the Saturday I would suggest that you go and make your way to the ground so you know where you are going and don't get lost on the Sunday.

That way if you get lost on the Saturday it won't be so bad as you will have the opportunity to find where the ground etc. is.

Hoggy · Aug 16, 2004

Don't bother with Craig's advice. It's piss easy from Flinders St (or if you don't wanna go that far, Richmond station). ;-)

Craig · Aug 16, 2004

Personally you are better off walking there.

If you can see the MCG, then all you need to do is walk towards it.

Surandy · Aug 17, 2004

Gates open at 12:45pm due to the Greece vs Victoria game which kicks off at 1pm.

Dog-E · Aug 17, 2004

Hey again!...It's getting closer...my flights are booked - accomodation with friends arranged - It's all happening...cant wait - I'M EXCITED!!!!! :lol:

Slight change of plans tho - if we can get a 5 seater cab - we are now thinking of catching a cab from the city - say from Flinders St Station - to the groubd...or as close as we can get to the actual ground...then walk!

Is this a good idea?...Just roughly A. how long a drive is that?...And B. Any ideas on a rough fare amount of this trip?

Cost shouldnt be too bad between 4 of us we're figuring...and probably a lot easier than PT!

Cheers once again!

Thunderstruck · Aug 17, 2004

It'll take about 5 minutes from the station, costs $4.70. I had a shared cab ride from Olympic Park to Flinders station after the Eels game and that's roughly how much it says on the meter when i got off. Definitely no more than $5.00

Dog-E · Aug 17, 2004

For real??? :O

I thought it was...heaps further than that!!....Dunno WHY i thought that?!!?..Boy did I have the wrong impression!! lol

So u really CAN just walk there from Flinders St station?!!...Hmm, I must have misunderstood what some of u were saying above! Geez, i'm not THAT lazy - nearly, but not QUITE! lol - i think we'll just get ourselves to Flinders St stn then - ask someone which direction to walk in - and just hoof it from there!...If my mates start complaining - then ill just slap em - and double the pace!! :lol:

You lot are due for a big performance...whilst last week would have been a REAL high for us...coming back down to earth this week could HURT...if we're niot careful!!

All I know is Storm/Dpgs affairs are ALWAYS played @ 100 miles an hour and are a thrill-a-minute, with incident aplenty!!...BEST OF LUCK STORM-HEADS!!...She should be a beauty!!

All you need is a cab from Hampton park to Hallam Station or Dandenong Station.

Dog-E · Aug 17, 2004

I was thinking of either getting a lift or driving 2 Hallam/Dandenong Stn (Not sure how far the mate Im staying with actually lives from either)

Going to either Richmond/Flinders St stn....and then just walking!

Might catch a cab for that last bit if we see one, but - it doesnt get much easier than that!!...We'll be right either way - and thanks for all your help!....Win, lose or draw - I'm gonna have a BALL in melbourne this weekend!!

Heheh! Of course....it'll be MORE of a ball if we win!...but it's all gonna be fun with a capital F regardless - a weekend out with the boys, away from the fiancee - HOW can that POSSIBLY be a bad thing!??!!! Heheheheh!!
