PIES VS CARLTON AT OPTUS

[nikki]

ok, does anybody think it is absolutly ridiculous for collingwood to play carlton at optus!!! Bloody John elliot thinks he is so high and mighty and is trying to prove something to the afl to have the game stay at optus!! dont you think he is going a bit far just get over it and move the game to the MCG where all fans will be able to go and see the game and not just bloody carlton Members!!!!!!

GO THE PIES!!!!!!!

But why did the AFL schedule the game there in the first place? Something is obviously fishy with the draw. How much of our money has it cost the AFL to change the games it has already. Blind Freddy could have seen that there would not be enough room at Princess Park to fit in all the Collingwood fans (I do not give a stuff about Carlscum fans). Yet Carlton are going to reap a financial bonus to get the game moved to the Gee, where they will reap another financial bonus (just because of all us who would turn up).

There was no logic to schedule this game at OPTUS at all. They only did it to rub our noses in the fact that we gave up Vic Park. When was the last time we play the Carlscum at Princess Park anyway, about twenty years ago. A bit of coincidence that we scheduled to play there the year after our last game at Vic Park. No way, they know we can not demand a reciprocal game at Vic Park. There is no way John E. is going to transfer this game unless he is offered a ridiculous amount of money. He is going to want to stick it to Eddy about making playing us there with impunity!

Don't worry guys, it's heaps easy to get up on the roof of Optus Oval if we can't get in we'll just watch it from up there and hopefully pull the joint down while we're at it! (in the words of Eddie "they'll pull the joint down"! - yes Eddie we will do this at Optus as well!)

This is crap, you can't play a potential 80,000 crowd puller at Pomtus oval. There should be something done about this, but what?
