it looks like channel 7 is covering the casey scorpions game.
Bastards! Do we get a video stream?

If you did, the OP would have told you so.

The TV rights deal basically prohibits live video streams on days when Channel 7 have the TV game. As there are TV games on both days, there are no video stream games.

The TV broadcasters always show the North Port finals, so we'll be back on the box either next week or the week after.

Speaking of which, the OP has been updated with some new information regarding ticketing (including a new seating map) and car parking...

Big blow. Our backline has been at its best with him in it...

Was that a consequence of getting flattened Sunday?

No worries, thanks for that.

What is the seating like, do you pay more for different parts of the ground?

My wife and I are thinking of traveling from Ballarat to go, should we get there early?

Who knows?

It's an arthroscope on his hip, in any event, so he may have been carrying it for a while.

That's okay, you're forgiven. You have really nice smile...

Nah, it's just a flat charge. You can sit anywhere you like after that.

Best advice is to get there early. Gate opens at 12pm, but there's only one gate opening for this match and there will be about 10,000 or so expected, although if they follow standard behavior, most of those will descend en masse at 1:30pm.

Best seats will probably be the Legends Stand, if for no other reason than they were the ones that almost sent the Filth broke...

Thanks MB, we will try to get there before 1pm then! We will need to hose ourselves down before we get inside our home after the match!

Hehe!

I recommend Dettol...

I do have a Gerni with a detergent attachment, I could use Dettol in that!

I will look out for the Batmobile!
