Western Bulldogs hope Ballarat clash persuades state government to boost Eureka Stadium’s capacity

According to the weather bureau the 9 degrees will feel like 6 degrees. Rug up all those woofers who are going.

Much colder in Ballarat higher elevation and all.

Oh glory. Better dig out the snow gear.

3 degrees over night

Long Johns, gloves and even hand warmers the order of the day for both sexes.

[Eastdog]

Early forecast is for a maximum of 9 degrees, with 30km/hr winds and showers.. The couch is looking a good option.

Yeah that's what I'll be doing

A must win game, I would have felt a whole lot better if it was at Etihad.
Predicted conditions are great for hammies and make it anyones game.

I guess if its going to be cold, wet and windy - then it is pretty handy if Wines gets suspended - as probably their no.1 'contested bull' in the midfield.

It might snow the first ever VFL/AFL match for snow if that happens.

Not sure about the AFL, plenty of games at the Western Oval felt like it was close and I remember one game in the late 70's early 80's where it hailed so much it looked like snow.
The NRL on the other hand see below -

We had a glorious day in Ballarat yesterday. Sunshine all day, about 14 degrees, barely any wind.

Today, it's been miserable, rain all day and unlikely to improve all week. It was always going to happen.

[Happy Days]

I've long considered that games played in Hobart, due to the freezing conditions and windswept nature of the ground, are not part of AFL canon, and therefore anything is likely to happen. I fear the same is true of Ballarat.

[bornadog]

We need to win and get this bloke to pump in more dollars

[Twodogs]

It's going to be cooold.

Sort of hope it does snow. It'd be fun to tell people that you were at the only match it ever snowed at. Not so much fun to be at though.

Maybe I should buy a bunch of hand warmers for 1.69 and flog them at 5 bucks apiece at the ground?

[Eastdog]

For all woofers going to Ballarat rug up. At the Whitten Oval a few weeks back watching the VFL it was very cold, Ballarat more colder the windchill factor.

[Twodogs]

I think it's more the elevation that makes Ballarat really cold Easty. Its 450 metres they said on C7 tonight.

Just been over to mum's place to raid it for all the thermals and big, big coats we could carry out of the place. Old person clothes.
