1pm Sunday start - I love it!

[saintspremiers]

I hope we get a few more 1pm starts - way better than Twilight rubbish.

Got home at 4.45pm, plenty of time before dinner, dealing with kids/bedtime etc.

Next season I'm expecting these slots:

Saturday 1.10pm, 3.10pm, 4.10pm, 7.10pm (Melbourne time)
Sunday 1.10pm, 4.40pm and 3.10pm

Be nice to have a few 1.10 Saturday games!

The reason we will need 1.10 Saturday games is to accomodate the Saturday twilight fixture IMO.

3.10 Saturday will be the time. Expect plenty of Monday and few Thursday games. Dont think Saturday twilight will happen.

Not used to daylight footy.
Especially with the roof open!

5AM start was tough. Think of the poor European fans.

I think Port might have been playing your time zone

Move back to Australia or maybe the AFL could schedule a few midnight games for u lot

[Milan Faletic]

I enjoyed it too.

Heaps of kids there today and that is the next generation of Saints fans so we need a few of those games. Even 1.40pm would be good.

[backit]

Don't forgot that the corruption at the AFL will want to ensure that they get maximum money for the next TV rights so next year will be experimental time slots for games.

You obviously didn't have to cross back over the Westgate! Big hold up there, but still back home in Sleepy hollow by 6.30.
I quite like the early sunday games too.

Correct.

I pity those that live out west and have to deal with that stupid bridge.

They should start tolling it again to raise funds to build a road tunnel under the river.

bums on seats count here for the club mate!

plenty of dedicated country Sainters appreciate the early Sunday start as against the dreaded twighlights

Country trains/busses from Southern Cross are practically all gone by 6.30 pm Sunday nightb and long drives home either by car or supporter group busses make for a very late arrival home with work and school next day!!

the eff'n TV dollar is a prime motivator for Zig and Zag at tha AFL and the footy paying public don't seem to come into their equations
They may have to introduce cardboard cutt-out crowds shortly if they are not careful

Geez it makes for a tough watch on telly though...all that shadow with the cameraman constantly shifting the lens to brighten the image.

[dals_da_bomb]

I liked it. Was great getting out for the day, footy, doing some light shopping after, being home to cook dinner, bed early.

The roof needs to be closed though (1. it was freezing - ok im a sook. 2. the glare was a nightmare)
My dad had seats on level 2 just behind the port goals, he said between the sun and and the lights being on he couldnt see a thing- ended up passing on the seats and went up to level 2.

On a brighter note, it was a beautiful sunrise.

Start tolling again to raise funds lol...

The government spent $1B on myki...

we could have had that road tunnel

What a wonderful way to start the day...

[realdeal]

I didn't like it, or twilight for that matter.. 2:10pm is fine with me.

1:10pm doesn't give you enough time to recover from a big saturday night on the town!

[Moods]

It appears ppl voted with their feet. I know Port have a woeful following, but I would have thought we would have got somewhere b/w 25-30 grand to the game. That crowd figure was North Melbourne esque like. Felt like a Sunday picnic with the sun out. Didn't feel like a footy game to me. Ppl were politely clapping rather than barracking (probably the non competitive game had something to do with that as well)

Having said all that, I will be taking my daughter along in 2 weeks when we play the tiges on a Saturday at 1.10 p.m. Like other s have said- very convenient.

Magnificent picture.

[philtee]

That pic is surreal, and a little mindbending.
