Level two. Mainly half forward flank Bulldog end.

What aisle do you sit in? I have reserved seats in aisle 31

Re: Who goes to the footy solo

I go alone a fair bit of the time these days - my family can't often get out on the weekends, due to a combination of age and illness. I sometimes take a mate, or even better a friend who's new to football. I've recruited a few in the last couple of years by doing that.

Solo, meet up with folk throughout the day for a beer and a laugh but for the most part prefer to stand by myself on a wing.

As some of you might have picked up over the years I can be pretty opinionated and vehement with my point of view so it can be better for all concerned if I'm left to my own devices in general play!

At WO, with my dad and brother (Flamethrower).
At Optus and Colonial with my mum and brother, don't think the old man likes Docklands that much.
From about the time the ground became Telstra Dome just Flamethrower.
Now since living in QLD for the past 3 years on my own, will take m_w junior when he's old enough.

If you see someone dangling from the level above and waving upside down, that'll be me.

Went by myself for many years but now generally go with my kids or meet up with someone if it is an evening game. Not averse to going by myself though - I always like that you can chat to almost anyone around you at the footy, but also enjoy catching up with friends at the game.

I have found though, that the secret with youngish kids is to hang out with others who have the same - the kids are good at entertaining themselves that way, regardless of the score.

We are neighbours. I'm aslie 32 from memory. I'm sure during stages of last year it would've just been you and I!

Myself and the kids will be available again when you're back next season

Glorious! I was hoping that would be the case!

Did you take them to the WO? I thought it could be fun to take mine along to a VFL game there as well.

Not yet. Didn't quite work out but planning to.

Relevant to the thread, I often go on my own. I've calm down considerably in recent years so often sit and try to ignore people.

Went solo every game lats year apart from the games against Melbourne when my brother came along. Hope to bring the little lad along a few times next year.

Re: Who goes to the footy solo

Have done and will do again, but most games I meet up with my brother - pretty much the only thing we do together outside of Christmas! Looking forward to taking my boy when he's a little older

Standing room's great for random conversation with strangers

Re: Who goes to the footy solo

Solo half the time but my mates know where to find me if they want.

Twodogs junior loves going to games at the Whitten oval. The semi final against Willy was old school footy. The Grand Final was perfect. Just as I imagined it would be.

So great that GF was. Going out on the ground at Etihad was great celebrating our VFL success. It's good to hear that there bringing back kick to kick after the game but only at the MCG.
