Eddie to take over G next week - we cannot let this happen
We CANNOT allow too many more of Collingwood in...
Or we MUST barrack the loudest we ever have. I truly believe the crowd has a massive impact, particularly in games like next week...
See article from afl.com.au...
COLLINGWOOD president Eddie McGuire has called on the AFL to open up next weekend’s grand final replay to members following Saturday's sensational draw between the Pies and St Kilda.
More than 100,000 people packed the MCG, but only a third of those seats were available to members of the two participating clubs.
The Magpies and Saints will resume their battle for the 2010 premiership next Saturday and McGuire said the AFL should make more tickets available for die-hard fans of both clubs, rather than corporate partners or neutral members.
“I think it would be sensational if the members got first crack. I’ll ring [AFL CEO] Andrew Demetriou now and ask him if the members can have first crack at the tickets - the corporates have all had their day,â€

If members get an unlimited first crack, we will be seriously outnumbered on the day, which is extremely dangerous in my view.Toy Saint wrote:I'm with Eddie, let the members get first crack at the tickets. With passionate fans, and not theatre-going corporates, the atmosphere will be sensational.
I am happy with the way it is, capped at the same amount for each club. Please AFL dont crack under the pressure from Eddie. Make it fair.[/u]

They AFL have already announced that its 41000 between the two clubs.
Eddie was kidding himself.
The AFL and MCC members still have their usual access, plus the other clubs and sponsors will still get some, just that its been scaled back.
At least SC will all get a seat this time.

I am not with Eddie. What he really wants is for the Pies to have a crowd support advantage.Toy Saint wrote:I'm with Eddie, let the members get first crack at the tickets. With passionate fans, and not theatre-going corporates, the atmosphere will be sensational.

Yeah.....nice try Eddie, there's no doubt he's looking for that "Cooooolingwoooood" chant to take over the G, the problem is, does he really think that of their 60,000 members, all of them could afford $142.50 at a minimum?
I'm been serious, that's a lot of money for some people.
Anyways.....piss off Eddie, you flog.

Some will still go to sponsors etc, just not as many as last time. Also the AFl allows every player in the league access to buy two tickets which I'm guessing isn't happening this time.#1GILL wrote:20,000 St Kilda Members- Social Club, September Saints, Standard Members
20,000 Collingwood Members- Legends Members, Captains Club, Social Club, 10 year + members
AFL Reserve and MCC around 45,000...
That's 85,000, so there's another 15,000 tickets somewhere, am I forgetting something?

Hope it makes you feel like a man you will be hearing from the club, complaint already in and being dealt with, might find a ban on your barcode herojoffaboy wrote:My pleasure.mullet wrote:Just hope the Saints SC ticket holder who sold his tickets for $1000 to collingwood people yesterday decide to use their tickets
