Change Pie game to the G

[hayes4captain]

wouldnt it be nice if the saints could play infront of a packed MCG on a friday night and also stratch their legs and get a lungful of fresh air instead of being cooped up in the disadvantaged venue that is the TD. i think we all know that saints pies would draw a huge crowd at the G, so voice it sainters and give our boys a taste of what to expect come september

[Ralphy]

no because then it wouldnt be a home game and half the fans wont get in

[hayes4captain]

what do you mean half the supporters wont get in, the idea of it is that MORE supporters get in. and it would still be a home game because the AFL CAN switch venues and it would still be the teams home game. also everytime we play collingwood its a sell out at the dome and half the supporters dont get in at our 'homeground' match anyways

It aint going to happen. They havent switched venues for at least 3 years now and with contracts they have with stadiums it will not happen.

[hayes4captain]

well then we should look for an alternative homeground, one where we can actually play at come finals

Only a Collingwood troll would ask to move our home game from the undercover TD to teh open-air MCG where more of the filth could get in.

If every club did that no one would play at Telstra. TBH I'd rather Telstra than the G but I know others feel differently. I dont think it makes alot od difference where you play before the finals. Look how many interstate sides have won the flag in the last few years.

[hayes4captain]

dont be so pretentious, playing football indoors is not natural. we get no advantage from playing there. so why not want to have our home at one of the greatest sporting arena in the world

[hayes4captain]

that may be true but the interstate sides play at the G alot more than we do. but they also play outdoors unlike the bubblewrapped sides that call the 'dome' theirs

Say every club felt that way and why am I pretentious for thinking like that.

do you live under a bride by any chance.....

[hayes4captain]

certainly do

[Ralphy]

certainly do

so ura troll

[saintdooley]

no
keep it at the Dome!
we have the advantage as this will be the pies first game at the Dome for the year, and they cant train there either, so it will be their first time the steep foot onto that oval since round 22 last year, while it will be our 8th (including nab games)

[Megamaguire]

Demetriou and his gang will only take the Saints seriously if we keep pushing for a better deal. This is evidence that we see ourselves as a club that seeks to excel not just make up the numbers.

Of coarse Saint Kilda should have a home game against Collingwood at the 'G' That should be our blockbuster The likes of essendon and the pies already have their money spinner working nicely to keep they at an advantage to the other melbourne teams. Personally i am tired of the bombers/ pies anzac day domination. I don' watch it anymore. I remember in the 90s watching Saint Kilda beat Collingwood by a point in front of 92,000 at the 'G'. Bring that back.

Punish the port Sainters.

[NeXuss]

St.kilda are too stupid to ask for a switch to the MCG. I have been arguing this point ever since we moved to the dome but knuckle heads on this site disagree.

We should always play Collingfilth and Essendung at the MCG. This is where the Grand Final is played and this is where we should get used to playing.

What?

I think it would be assumed that it would still be St Kildas home game....

Agree.

The MCG is by far a better ground/stadium/atmosphere than the Telstra Dome.

[dcstkfc]

It is a shame people will miss out on getting in, but such is life. Do you really want Collingwood to play another MCG game?

[Eastern]

I like my reserved seat at TD. I know I wouldn't get anywhere near as good at the G. End of arguement !!

[saint66au]

God I'm over this argument. You want atmosphere? Find ways to stop so many bloody Collingwood suporters getting seats...instead of suggesting ways to let 40,000 of them in and totally negate any home ground advantage we have!!

You dont see Man U wanting Cup semi-finals moved to Wembley "cos thats where they play the final" As someone said elsewhere, the Interstate clubs seem to cope with winning GF's on a ground they hardly play on

[The Sainter]

Are you all mad on this forum? The draw is rigged every year in Collingwood's favour and you want to take away our home ground advantage against them. They give nothing to any other team, let their feral supporters miss out on seats against us, never see them give up their Anzac Day match to a team that is struggling financially to help them out. If the Dons happen to beat them they will be 2-5 when they play us. Keep the mongrels down i say and give them nothing.
After this season they will have won only one flag in the past 50 years and yet Eddie keeps saying they are the best sporting club in the world.

[hilairehinshelwood]

I'm sick of the many all ticket games we are getting at telstra dome at the moment. This means time and extra expense booking tickets, when you already have paid for a membership. Should be played at the G, to accomadate all those that want to see the game.

yeah, and what about the fans that have paid money for reserved seats???

BAD IDEA!

Yeah Agree but the same can be said about the "ticketed Games" What about the people who have already spent over $150 on a membership?
Why should they be charged even more to get a seat at the dome??
