Port Adelaide Away Queens Birthday Long Weekend: Gathering the Pack

[SonofScray]

Evening Woofers.

I am interested in Gathering a Pack for the Port Adelaide game. Will be driving over with my wife, sister and mate. Would be great to meet other Scraggers pre game at a nearby pub and enjoy the camaraderie you only really feel on away days like this. We've got our seats via the Club so other than that it's a case of determining the venue for a pre game beer and feed.

The Queens Head is a great little pub and probably the closest (about the same distance as the cathedral). The Wellington is a little deeper into North Adelaide but they actually offer a gameday shuttle to the ground (and back to the pub after the game) and is a good option if you are wanting to get a meal beforehand as it is not quite as packed (and they also have an incredible range of beers on tap).
I play soccer on Saturdays so I will struggle to get anywhere beforehand unless I have an early game. I should find out this week, would be keen to meet up for a beer if the stars align.

If it wasn't my daughter's birthday I'd be road-trippin' myself. Have a beer for me.

I'm heading back to Adelaide for the weekend, although unsure what I'll be doing pre-game.

Surprise birthday road trip or better still tell her you bought her a pony and have to go on a road trip to pick it up.
Then use the old, it had horse flu and I wasn't allowed to bring it back over the border trick.

Would love to be going, and a few bulldogs mates are headed over for the weekend.

If it wasn't the mrs' birthday, I'd have been joining them....but got to pick your battles!!!

The Wellington looks a goer. I will put the call out here and on social media, gather a few travellers over a beer.

I love my daughter more than life itself. But not quite enough for a road trip to Adelaide with a 9 year old. :-)

Keep an eye out for the FFC flag, the pub suggested we book a table in advance.

For those interested you pull up a virtual seat selector of Adelaide Oval to see the type of view you get from each seat.
Access it here:

For those making a last minute dash, I just rang membership and got a ticket sorted without an issue. My Dad and I were able to put it against one of the games on our Long distance membership too, but he did ask me how many extra tickets I wanted so obviously could have purchased more if needed.

The guy on the phone mentioned that they had Bays 542 and 543 but that mine would likely be in bay 542.

That a pretty cool little virtual seat explorer.
