Go right ahead, because that's all you're good for!
Raiders was right.
Game is at Etihad Stadium not AAMI Park.

Wednesday may the 23rd is on the weekend is it
it was never moved to the weekend
it was never going to be played at AAMI
just like I said
it will be a sellout
it will probably draw the biggest crowd of the year to Etihad for any code
Origin
the juggernaut

Surely a sign of popularity on the decline yeah.Raiderdave wrote:Yeah , the smaller Etihad has been sold out once & near sold out on the 2nd occasionKing-Eliagh wrote:Yes interesting thought TLPG especially with that 1997 crowd. But I gotta say that there's improvement in the latter games.
But if I were running the NRL I would also steer clear of the MCG because as I said the atmosphere would be **** there. Even I wouldnt bother going if it were there, far too big and distant from the action. Even if you bought the best tiks you'd be too far away, just like the olympic stadium in Sydney. That's probably the main reason for the big drop in crowds there.
MCG is a hole ....
awful
they won't have any trouble selling Etihad out again in 2012
MCG > Etihad Stadium > AAMI Park
captain .. " geez will I ever get anything right "... aka beaussie

Wednesday May 23rd
Tickets for Game 1 of the 2012 Harvey Norman State of Origin Series – to be played at Etihad Stadium on Wednesday, May 23 – will go on sale to Melbourne Storm Ticketed Members from 10am Monday, August 8, to 9pm Friday, August 12.
& anyway
we;d run your minor sport off Etihad even if it were on the weekend
back to Moorabin oval for your lot

Onions, as a matter of fact that was a proposal only. The announcment linked shows that if there is a weekend game it won't be the Melbourne game. It will be either of the other two, although the link I found seemed to indicate that the vacant weekend will be left for a test and the City Country game (which incidentally is at the end of it's run).Onions wrote:They're playing it on the ******* weekend, dunderhead!!
