I have my son's 1st birthday on Sunday.. Should I move it to Whitten Oval?

[Throughandthrough]

OK, as an interstate visitor, I have 2 questions

Can someone please give me directions to a link so I can work out how to get to Whitten Oval via Public Transport?

OR how much would a taxi cost to from WO?

And secondly, if my son cant get a ticket, (we are staying in the CDB) is there a good spot to watch it, such as Fed Square?

Thanks

Very simple to get to WO.

Catch a Watergardens or Sunbury train any city station and get off at West Footscray station. Takes 15 minutes and will drop you off at the gate.

Where are you staying in Melbourne

Not sure Wil will make it if we win.

[bulldogtragic]

As soon as the March to the G is announced, can someone update this thread please.

[aker39]

I don't think there will be an official march

We are meeting at Beer Deluxe Fed Square and then doing our own march.

Sounds like a plan to me. WTLF, Chef & I need to catch up pre game, so that's a good a place and time as any.

[Eastdog]

Enjoy it. I really don't like the show, but the anticipated bulldog love might just get me watching it.

Sounds like a plan - I'll be there. I'm coming alone so how the hell do I know who are WOOFERS?

Stupid question, is there a player presentation somewhere in the City after we win? Like at Jeffs Shed???

Tickets were $300 each. l am not going waiting for the family day on Sunday.

Told them there would be at least 100 people.
See you there.

PS - Still looking for 2 tickets

[cinder]

It was a great atmosphere down at Whitten Oval, so packed!

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Where's this Beer Deluxe place located? Is it where WOOFers are all heading first up?

[bulldogtragic]

Fed Square. There will be a fair few of us by the sounds of things. Although I read it may take up to an hour to get through all security, so if want to see the 1.10pm early warm up we've got to go by 12.10 or miss it potentially.

Should be well and truly warmed up by then BT :cool::p

[Ozza]

Have posted on another thread - but if anyone wanted 2 free tickets to tonight's footy show - please let me know.

[1eyedog]

I'll be in an old knitted bulldogs long sleeve that my Nan knitted over 35 years ago - I'll be a beer deluxe at 11 am, 3 day growth and full of good Bulldog energy. I'm coming solo so will be by myself, say G'day. Go Dogs!

[LostDoggy]

Where's this Beer Deluxe place located? Is it where WOOFers are all heading first up?

Fed Square, but its slightly further up Flinders Street almost opposite The Forum if that helps.

[aker39]

If you are in the middle of the square with your back to the main screen, we will be up in the far left corner.
