Sorry if this has been asked before...

very unlikely.

BUT....

Come on St Kilda/Saints Media, WHICH of the 5 away games at Docklands (please St Fid don't call it by it's sponsors name in support of the AFL legal case against Collo's Stadium!) is our included game?

It really is not fair not say which one it is.

I assume the Pies and Carlton away games won't be, as they'll draw big crowds.

Maybe the Footscray game?

Surely they can work it out soon!

Ive spoken to Docklands 8-) ticketing about this game numerous times and have been given no indication that we can treat it as a home game admittance-wise.

I somehow doubt a blockbuster game like this would be picked as the compensation match though

I hope that the game they give us is not a Friday night or Sunday twilight game. Very difficult for country members.

As it is our supporter group will not be running a bus to the 3 home twilight games as we won't get home until midnight. Therefore we will only go to 7 home games as we are also playing a 'home' game at the Gold Coast.

Very peeved about these twilight games, how we got shafted with 3 of them plus 1 away I will never understand. Does anyone actually like attending them?

Actually I dont mind them..but thats just my particular circumstances..they actually are a better fit for me than 2.10 starts on Sunday. I can however 1000% see the problems for Interstate and country folk...not to mention Melbourne-ites with young school-age families.

Still this is the fixture that had a 6.10 Thursday start to the season last year when there was Public Holiday the next day..and a 7.40 Thursday start this year with a normal working day following it!! Go figure :shock:

My money is on round 11 against North.

The only other likely one would be round 22 against Melbourne.
