Crowd Watch 2014 part 3

[cleary89]

So because the RSA and event staff don't do their job, we suffer. No wonder crowds are not going up that much! Australians like a beer or two at the footy, we don't like watered down half strength rubbish!

Here here!!!

Which outside ANZ still only serves mid strength trash! It is why I have brought a 'Sprite' bottle with booze the last few times I have gone to that rubbish stadium. I like the SCG/SFS, more restaurants within distance and more good pubs.

Pretty sure kogarah does the VB mid and WIN does the vb mid cans.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't XXXX Gold mid strength garbage anyway???

 

[MrAnonymous]

Correct, that's why no one drinks the shit.

Probably heading toward similar crowd to last week with a good walk up, 35-7k, which would be well down on last couple of years where we got over 40k.

How hard is it to have Crown Lager, Peroni, Carlton Draught, and a few others that are full strength. It isn't the cost it is the fact we are paying FULL PRICE for half strength! If you want to serve mid strength, drop the prices!

Just looking at scg tickets for sths v manly. Surprised how few areas are on general sale. Over a third of the stadium is scg members!

What is your point! You realise the SCG/SFS membership is $1100 annually. I mean I'm happy to pay it (cricket mainly)...plus those fees FUND the developments. Not every upgrade comes from the government, in fact very few. A person paying $1100 is always valued more than a bloke paying lets say $50 a ticket. There is always very few tickets for the public at the SCG.

I agree with you, hence why I don't drink at the footy. Last time I drank heavily at the footy I had a hangover so painful I still remember it today. You get served up mid strength garbage so you end up drinking more and you just get dehydrated more the next day.

They wont drop the prices because it's all about extracting as much $$$ out of you as possible be that your club or the stadium trust.

Pax is now 37,925. Fairly strong sales this morning.

Why do you genii think they only sell half strength beer? It's to stop yobbos getting sloshed and ruining things for everyone else. Yes, it means that sensible drinkers can't enjoy a full strength beer but that's a small price to pay. Unless you want wankers punching on on the stands or invading the field.

The SFS sells full strength beer and I am yet to see a biff.

Yeah i end up looking like a bloated cow.

Imagine how many Manly fans would get dropped by opposition lads if Brookvale sold full strength.

I have even seen two manly fans fighting. With each other.

I remember as a teenager whenever the Tigers played at C/Town on a Friday or Saturday night me and mates would sit on the family hill, yet so many people were hammered just by sneaking in hipflasks with vodka or bourbon in them.

Students still do this!

One origin at ANZ many years ago my friends and I opened the lining of our jackets and put an 8pack of those disgusting extra dry platinum's down it each and then put on a dryazabone.

I was 18, boy genius.

 

[thorson1987]

I have never snuck alcohol into a game.

Only ever drank alot at 2 games.

06 Grand Final - Got there when gates opened and drank the whole day. (probably a good thing too)

07 SOO game 3 at ANZ iirc. Started drinking when I finished work and on the train in. Bought 4 beers at kickoff then another 4 at half time.

these days I take my son to games so we sit on the family hill and I have a coke.

extra dry platinum's

Never had a drink f**k me up as much as this shit. Only drank them when they were 8 percenters, haven't had them since they dropped them to 6.5. Don't even think they come in 8 packs anymore.
Yeh f**k that shit.
