WSWJACK Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 There's a lovely oval in Olympic park just crying out AFL, okay it's not rectangular but i'm sure they can mark out a rectangular pitch there, it's got seats and food outlets and everything, sounds perfect, go there and be happy, sorted.

Prydzopolis Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 The “field club” seems pretty cool but I assumed there was a glass barrier between the fans & players, looks totally open. Can already see some muppet creating an incident in there Do you then go upstairs in your seats on the Western side? Surely you don’t watch from ground level? Do you go back down at half time?

mack Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 To get into the field club area you have to be the VIP of the VIP section. It's quite literally a one percenter area and there's going to be a lot of security. Prydzopolis 1 Link to comment
FCWanderers Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Does the field club have seats to watch the matches or do they just stand around that area and watch the matches at ground level through the glass doors? Prydzopolis 1 Link to comment
marron Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 They'd have seats. It's akin to a backstage pass area. You can wander down and hang out near the team, watch them do their last warmups and then be there when they walk out (and probably back in too). But only if you're special. Watch the telecast start asking family and friends of players or celebrity fans who are in that area after the players are out on the pitch or whatever. Prydzopolis 1 Link to comment
mack Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 Could be they have seats in the 2nd tier with the cumberland lounge area, or they have corporate seating in the boxes. Prydzopolis 1 Link to comment

Whether this new stadium solves all our issues or not I think it’s definitely a great first step to be back at a normal sized stadium purposely built for watching football. Along with that just being back in Parramatta for pre and post match will be refreshing after a long few years away! StringerBellend and Prydzopolis 2 Link to comment

hawks2767 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Most of the leadership group are still working their way through the 18 month ban for the well deserved Arnie Tifo. I think the ban expires at the end of this season, but I kinda get the feeling there's some behind the scenes 'atmosphere ransom' going on with them and the club to make sure they don't hang the RBB out to dry again for the Leeds match.

mack Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 The clubs lack of reaction to the SOP bans for supporter Marshalls and the failed attempt at an end around on the RBB for their own club run active area is/was far more damaging than the dick tifo fallout (although it did have a big impact on it's own).

Erebus Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) IIRC, RBB aren't being active for the remainder of this season at SOP due to ....SOP...and being banned for screaming at players or swearing once. ie sick of the bs and its not worth the effort anymore. But they said they'll be active at Newcastle away and CCM away. edit: PS tifogate had external repercussions which made it more serious. RBB being stubborn and pushing back by putting up merch ideas with the images didn't help the matters at all. Should have just apologised it was taken in a context that wasn't the intention, removed the images and moved on.

wengerboy Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 The club and RBB need trusted mediator to go between the two to discuss things and approve things, the RBB need to show they're just not a mob that they processional supporters group that can regulate themselves. Overall I want them back, they spend their time and money to create atmosphere for us and I respect that. They need a lawyer to argue for their injustices of the FFA and to give them a professional look. WHACKO 1 Link to comment

Chief Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 We sold out the opening NRL game with near a month to spare. Let's see if the Wanderers can match that. Parramatta Eels sell out casual tickets to opening game at Bankwest Stadium. Becoming a ticketed Member is the only way to guarantee your seat at this historic opening game! Link to comment
