My wife and I went down to Perth for the game,stayed at a motel in perth city and got the train to subi and back,Id already made a speed camera flash and i fear a red light camera got me at a mt lawley intersection so the weekend was already over budget as a boy from the bush is not used to these contrivances to relieve a driver of his pocket money,will keep a lock on the mail box so no bills re above can be delivered.
Got to subi and to my amazement it was only $15(i expected more) to get in each and we got a seat behind the point post 4 rows from the front.
I picked that spot because mistakenly I thought the pies cheer squad would be behind the city end goals,I was wrong there.
Being an old fart member I was used to standing on the wing ,can in hand and offering useful advice at full voice to anyone that cared to listen.
No can do.Thats progress.It was $4 for a plastic cup of mid strength and 89 steps had to be negotiated before regaining ones seat,I will have a new strategy next time.
The goal scumpire in front of me was a blind school reject and I must say that I now know why some people have been critical of our ruckperson,the non leaping stunning steve,enough said.
I had not been to a collingwood game since the MCG at 1986 and we lost that one,so the result was much appreciated but when all dackers had a loud orgasm when they hit the front in the 3rd qtr I have had better moments.
Not the best game ive been to and quite frankly all these changes to stadiums make it worse as a viewer in my view.
Gopies I was looking forward to meeting some of the cheer squad from the board but never mind Im here anyway.
my day at subi oval if youre interested.
