Etihad Stadium - New Initiatives

Re: Etihad Stadium - New Initiatives

We just take our own tucker. So much easier too as well as cheaper.

Yep. Much healthier too. The amount of sugary and fatty crap we eat (and drink) when we are out is phenomenal. I often wonder if you showed people the actual pile of sugar they are about to ingest in a soft drink if they would go with water everytime

The old man convinced me to have a pie, usually I don't eat junk food and certainly not pies for 5 bucks and that's cheap? How is a five dollar pie cheap? But it wasn't bad. Probably hadn't been reheated half a dozen times.

Pies are only cheap on Sundays TD. They're $3 which is pretty reasonable.

Drinks on the other hand, I bought a bottle of coke on Saturday and handed the guy a $5 note, I was chatting and not paying attention and hadn't noticed he had his hand out for more money. $5.60 is the price this year!

So glad I don't drink soft drink. That's extortion.

That's good for a pie.

Any meat in those pies.

$5.60 for 600mls of Soft Drink?

Are they brewing it in-house now?

That's comical.

Re: Etihad Stadium - New Initiatives

It's literally half that price in the vending machines at work

Re: Etihad Stadium - New Initiatives

I think I stated earlier, $6.50 for a 750ml water. Five times the price of unleaded petrol........

Yep. I remember you saying.

And it's probably just tap water.

There's a damn good reason why my friend and I pop into DFO before we head to the football.

Re: Etihad Stadium - New Initiatives

Those congealed, borderline inedible chips are sold at a massive mark-up by Spotless Catering, whose former director was the late Ron Evans, former AFL commissioner. Homebush Stadium, the world's most soulless, unloved and substandard footy ground, is owned by a consortium that includes Mike Fitzpatrick.

Filthy lucre - this is the God that the AFL kneels down and prays to. It is the only thing they care about. If they can make a buck out of selling Etihad in 2025, the wrecking ball will be unleashed with Usain Bolt-style speed.

Well there definitely needs to be a 2nd stadium to the MCG if that is the case. Im hoping they won't do that and they'll just spend some money on some refurbishments that need doing.

God I'm loving this thread.
Have got a gut ache from laughing so hard.
Usually duck into subway on the concourse ( I think near gate 6 but I could be wrong,it has been nearly 7 months since I last was there ) and fill up on a footlong and a cookie before the game.

I get on and off at Platform 10 at Southern Cross. Are you the same redders70? Yeah I usually get to Etihad hang around outside near gate 5 and then after getting closer to the game go in and get a beer or other times get a bite to eat. Would I be better of getting food outside near Etihad price wise?

You need to upgrade to Social Club and get to the Victory room for a beer. They also serve a meal there, but I have never eaten there. You may run into a few woofers as well.
