Last time we played Willi in a final was the 1924 Grand Final.

Victoria University Whitten Oval will play host to VFL Finals football this Sunday, with the Footscray Bulldogs to face-off with local rivals Williamstown in the second Qualifying Final.The match will be a ticketed event, with capacity strictly limited at the venue.
Patrons are advised to pre-purchase tickets online and print them at home to avoid queues on the day.
Tickets for adults are $15, concessions $10, with children 12 years of age and under free.
BUY TICKETS: Pre-purchase your tickets to Sunday’s VFL Qualifying Final at VU Whitten Oval
Gates at VU Whitten Oval will open at 9:00am on Sunday morning, with the first bounced scheduled for 1pm.
Footscray finished their season with 14 wins to secure second place on the VFL ladder in their first season as a stand-alone side in the competition.
Williamstown too secured a top-four finish and the double chance, also finishing the season with 14 wins under coach Andy Collins.
Just percentage separated the two western suburbs teams at the end of the home and away season.
Earlier in the year, an inaccurate Footscray had an away loss to the Seagulls at Burbank Oval in round two, 7.15 (57) to 15.8 (98), before going on to win 13 of their next 16 matches.
With history between the two sides dating back to the Bulldogs’ VFA era, the clubs last met in a finals match in the 1924 VFA Grand Final, in which Footscray were 55-point victors, 11.11 (77) to 3.4 (22).
That was the last year in which Footscray competed in the VFA competition, before joining the Victorian Football League (VFL) in 1925 alongside Hawthorn and North Melbourne.

Got my tickets - really looking forward to this it will be just like the days of old. I think there will be a pretty big noise coming out of the Gent stand next Sunday.

What sort of crowd figure would we be looking at for capacity?

Hard to tell with the change in configuration. - estimate could fit say 10,000?

They're going to hire them for the day.

Saw a post on Facebook that PG will be paying for the cost of fencing and security. Not sure if it's true or not.

For us Northern states will it be on iView because we don't get ABC footy live.

I thought the ABC only did the footy on a Saturday. Could be wrong in the case of finals.

I hope they have a few extra toilets on the day if they are looking for a crowd of 10,000

COuld I make it to Etihad if I wait until the final siren at WO? To be honest I'll probably do it anyway, I haven't watched footy in Footscry since I was a kid.
