I understand it's 8 games in 3 days on Adelaide Oval and we play in the last one - Hope the turf survives.

After the game standing up on that Victoria Park railway station, that was so high up, one nearly got a nose bleed. The icy wind and often sleet rain that always seemed to happen when we were on that rickerty platform waiting for a train to arrive. I can recall I always kept my eye gaze fixed on the ground, didn’t want to eyeball a Collingwood supporter & get a mouth full of abuse.
We were sure made of stern stuff travelling to Victoria Park ground in them there dark days to support our belov’d Saints. FQF was ingrained into us from little kids and the horrow & danger of attending matches at Victoria Park was simply a rite of passage to Sainthood

Yeah, first time an excuse for a human being spat on me and my saints jumper. And I was still a very young child.

Far more hostile world in those days.

No .What a silly comment. I am talking about filth park. Hasn't got better over the years, only worse.

One improvement has been not playing games in that slum, where the patrons would punch and kick you in its latter years. Stab you even.

The only reason those morons don't bite is because the great majority don't have teeth.

And I haven't even started on the men.

Personally didn't mind going to Victoria Park, one of my enduring memories was the peanut man. He had a potato bag full of peanuts which he sold for about 10 cents a bag.

So back to the topic at hand ....... does anyone need two front row tickets for the game?

[Scollop]

If the airlines didn’t screw us on return flights I was thinking of taking up your offer

Unfortunately I have to come back Sunday night straight after the game

Sorry…won’t be going
