No one's at the game

[Milne]

40 minutes to go and only about 5-6k in the Stadium.

Also James Sherry is not really a saints fan

[ozrulestrace]

We're all at The Nixon.

[God_Nel]

You're not wrong, yet us general admission plebs get shoved up the back. Medium demand game my arse. I don't think this game will be on the fixture next season.

[Milne]

Must be a long wait at the bar if there's 30 thousand people there lol.

[dragit]

I'm here milney, just waving now - I'm the guy in the saints scarf...

Hopefully a few more come in

[Playon]

School night/ work night. These games aren't good for the club at all.

[desertsaint]

What' stone point of this game on a Monday? Is there anything in Melbourne happening?
Or just the afl screwing us over again? Not even on fta up here.

[Teflon]

Waste of time this Monday night shyte

[gringo]

My wife said the kids can't go because of NAPLAN and I couldn't find anyone else to go with.

[One Eyed Saint]

At $40 a ticket, will put many people off..

[clarky449]

Been happening since 2009 now, get over it! I think It is good.. Some people need to toughen up...

[Stephen Theodore]

Disappointed it's not on FTA. Sure it has been the last few years.

[Spinner]

Havnt we usually got 40k here other years?

We are going s***, as are Carlton so the crowd will be s***.

[ozrulestrace]

Consider yet again the club has yet again been duded by the AFL.

Consider the who're point of the Monday night game allegedly was that no-one was going to games on Mothers Day so a Sunday arvo game was shifted to Monday night to attract a bigger crowd.

Well the bye has kicked in, one game yesterday in Perth and no game in Melbourne. And now we're on a six day turn around again.

Tonight's crowd was 26 000, and I didn't see a kid under about 15 years of age because it's a school night and I wonder how many senior citizens wanted to venture out late at night on the train.

Give this stupid game up to some other sucker to lose money on.

Will cost us about $80 000 for the privilege. Good deal.

[ShanghaiSaint]

[kosifantutti]

My wife said the kids can't go because of NAPLAN and I couldn't find anyone else to go with.

I had to leave the kids at home for various reasons and went on my own. Next time we can have a date.

[MrCordz]

I walked the ground waiting to meet a mate - 60 - 40 Carlton Easy - their side of the ground was electric ours was family respectful and gentle - and this was in the third quarter - our supporters have become intellectual appeasers - Bring us the Frankston/Dandy bogans to run the cheersquad and lets get this team tribal again FFS!!!

Great summation of our CBF supporters. No tribalism at all.

And did we have a cheersquad last night, or were they the 20 fans behind the goals with floggers?

Yeah it was last year. But the shortened round means foxtel get an extra game I guess. Happens every time there's a split or short round.

[ozrulestrace]

Meanwhile over at Aisle 38, halfway through the third quarter, the aisle attendant thought it was a pretty good idea to let the three Carlton supporter in to sit in the back row behind us.

In her words "The game is nearly over and they'll be quiet" when I challenged what was going on.

Hell hath no fury than a supporter who has paid $500 for that seat and they haven't paid anything more than General Admission, so the Carlton supporters left and went back to standing behind us. But not before they gave a comforting hug because the Wicked Witch of the East of Bentleigh (me) had given her a hard time.

Then at the three quarter time break the whole situation got a whole lot worse. My fellow seat holder called her over and explained yet again they shouldn't have been allowed in.

Her response was "I work here, I know the rules and I can let them in blah ,blah,blah" not one scintilla of customer service, no ability to conciliate the issue, just got the "i work here you don't and it's not a reserved seat area. "

I know you're probably asking if that's the case how come she was checking the seats at the start of the game? I have no idea but if you schmooze the aisle attendant she'll bend the rules and to hell with anyone who tried to point out its. "Reserved seat area".

But I wanted to thank the two other ladies who went off to get a supervisor to sort out the situation with the aisle attendant. (Kathy who I've heard on Sen maybe?) and the other woman, I don't think you got much sympathy or assistance from the Stadium management but at least you tried to help out.

We've put up with a lot of crap in regards to Aisle 38, but I've never encountered an Aisle Attendant who couldn't understand her obligations to us, not the three yobbos behind us.

[dragit]

Her response was "I work here, I know the rules

You should ask for her name and her supervisors name trace…

In fact you could still easily ring up and complain, describe the gate and the person attending, I'm sure they'll have a record.

The aisle attendants are just attendants not security, and I get that. However , they have no backup if something goes wrong. All the security are on the ground to stop us
all from jumping the fence and killing the umpires. What ever happened to that phone number you can ring if there is trouble or is that just at the mcg.

If I was you I would ring the club and instruct them to contact edihad to advise their attendants that we pay to sit with saints supporters. This has happened a lot in the past
and they got quite good at checking tickets.

The club should also ask etihad what the attendants do if there is any trouble. They dont have walky talky's so what do they do. I do love how the security or the police
walk down the aisle with 2 minutes to go in the game.

As a saints supporter, I would no sooner want to go and sit in another clubs inner sanctum than fly to the moon. These people are obviously there to cause trouble
and it bugs me that they get their thrills doing this. People need to respect each other, doesnt happen much anymore.

[saintspremiers]

Stuff those useless gate attendants. Half of them are clueless. Ignore them if they can't do their job properly.

[Saints94]

I'm going next week, it will probably be worse..
