Is it Federation Square? Punt Rd? Coming from Brisbane for the 'big day' but alas can't see we'll get tickets. Want to be with a bunch of Saints fans. Don't the winning players come to Federation Square late in evening??

St Kilda Foreshore,
Please do not litter my backyard, use the bins provided.

My guess is that there were problems or expected problems with Kingston Council.
Otherwise I would have expected the big screen to be at our Moorabbin ground.
Same applies to the prospective celebration at Etihad rather than Moorabbin.
Etihad does not come free but Moorabbin would have been.

Time to leave Moorabbin, no point staying when you are not wanted.

Pardon my ignorance, but which part of the st.kilda beach is the foreshore near??? What main road would it be near??

Looks like i'll be one of many without tickets... very disappointing as i was the only one in my family and my Saints friendship group to miss out... :(

There is a large open patch of grass to the south east of the Sea Baths complex, between Jacka Boulevard and the beach..
That would seem to be the logical location.

However I met my local councillor in the street and had chat to him.
He was unaware of the big screen idea.
But it could easily be an arrangement with the City of Port Phillip administration.
He is supportive anyway.

He is also keen on a civic reception at the St Kilda Town Hall should the correct result occur on Saturday.

Unfortunately the weather forecast for next Saturday is appalling.

Public transport catch number 96 or 16 trams from the city.
Catch number 3/3A or 16 tram from Balaclava station.
Catch number 3/3A tram from Caulfield station.

Plenty of above ground parking next to the Palais Theatre, an underground car park under the Sea Baths and angle parking up on the Upper Esplanade.

Unfortunately all pay parking.

Sorry my car space will remain occupied as I will go to G by public transport.

+1. I will be elsewhere that day ( at the G..... 8-) )

I presume that Republica, which has an official affiliation with the Saints will be promoted somehow. I went for lunch there on Father's Day and can confirm that the food there is good. Nice view of the Ocean too.


Hird... The unflushable one is now... just a turd...
