ANZAC Day: St Kilda vs. Sydney @ Wellington

Discussion in 'Aussie Rules Football Discussion' started by HeathDavisSpeed, Apr 21, 2013.

    Tickets booked.

    Weather is set fair (though that can change rapidly in Wellington) and it has rained pretty consistently for the last few days.

    Late kick-off (7.45pm I think) which presumably means it follows straight after the Collingwood vs. Essendon game.

    If the weather's good, we should have a bumper attendance. Hotel bookings for ANZAC Day in Wellington are up 300% on last year - apparently mainly due to Australian AFL fans being in town.

    Would love it to be a sell out. C'mon Wellington.

    Hopefully there is a decent crowd so more games can be played in NZ and expand the game.

    Is this a one off trial or has a contract been done for a couple of years?

    I think it's a trial with a view to doing it every year. Not sure if it'd be St. Kilda vs. Sydney every year, but it will be a St. Kilda home game. There's gotta be some significant advantages to St Kilda and the AFL in doing this - a 2nd game on ANZAC Day for a start. I think it'd have to be a disaster for them not to repeat the game next year. If the weather holds, Wellington will go well. But the weather has been atrocious the last few days.

    Tickets purchased. Pretty much right at the front on AISLE 22-23. $15 with Student ID ftw
     
  15. MatthewJay TA Miokovic

    St Kilda are pushing for two games in NZ next year.

    Heef to jizz.

    Where abouts on the ground are you?

    Best viewing is to be on the wing, or somewhere between the two 50 metres arcs. In my opinion anyway.

    Yeah not a great location unfortunately.

    6-13/24-31 probably the best viewing, followed by 17-20/2-35 then the leftovers

    Not too bad a spot, pretty much anywhere except behind the goals isn't too bad.

    Not bad for $15 I thought. Plus it's almost sold out I think so did well
