Sounds like a big weekend planned McRooster :D. 3 games and a night on the town 8).

Accommodation is sorted, 600m walk from the G.
Apartment style so no food or bar, thanks MP - Bimbo looks like us.
How far is the walk, as staggered as it may be, between say G and Etihad and how close really is the Caz?

Justin Bieber · June 25, 2010, 06:38:20 PM

Maybe a 1 - 3km. Haven't been to etihad for a while though so just estimating from what i can remember.

BratPack · June 25, 2010, 06:39:41 PM

to be honest you're better off staggering to Richmond station and hopping a train to ~~Spencer St~~ Southern Cross to get to Etihad, Crown's probably about a 10 minute walk from Southern Cross.

roo boys! · June 25, 2010, 07:20:00 PM

I haven't been to the G for a while, North plays home games at Etihad.

Master Q · June 25, 2010, 09:30:26 PM

Rooster when going to ~~telstra dome~~ Etihad Staduim take the train from Richmond to ~~Spencer St~~ Southern Cross.

Thanks people.

roo boys! do you feel lonely at Etihad sitting there with 4 other people watching North games? ;D

Justin Bieber · June 25, 2010, 10:07:01 PM

He must be flattered that you think 5 people go to their games ;D.

5 is the highest attendance so far, but at least we all have teeth.

I can just imagine sitting there with a rooster pecking the back of my head all game ;)

Just got an email from the Captain of the touring party.
It read that the team was looking for a suitable venue this week and next to get in some "training" ahead of our rnd 18 soujorn.
I didn't have the heart to tell him that my season began long ago, thus I should be well and truly prepared and ready for my BOG performance. ;D
