Just great news, what a way to end our year (or even continue it) with a home final at Vic Park the day after our seniors season ends.

Should get a big crowd, hope they bring extra beer and donuts this time.

Sweet.

I assume it will still be a walk up, no temporary fencing or bullshit so I can bring some food and a 6 pack if I want to?

Yep, that's right, from what I can gather, it's free to all comers, so you can walk up with your choice of refreshments...

This is also the first time Collingwood and Sandringham have met each other at a venue other than Victoria Park, Trevor Barker Oval or Princes Park (which was Collingwood's home ground in 2008 and 2009).

can someone help me with this statement.

Nope. The contradiction is like elephant balls on a jack russel.

I put that in when I thought we would be playing at North Port.

My apologies, it has been removed.

Nope, you're alright.

Was just a case of oversight and youthful over-exuberance on my part...

This was agreed to by Collingwood and the VFL back in 2009 as a condition of playing at Victoria Park. The VFL did eventually give Collingwood an exemption. Yarra Council also approved the erection of temporary fencing at the Richmond Town Hall meeting in 2009. There were no objections.

(Eventually we hope to get new permanent fencing erected around the stadium to protect the assets from vandalism. The intention is the gates will be opened at dawn and closed at sunset.)

Interesting that Footscray got a home final (Temp fencing will be erected there too) but Werribee didn't. I would say Werribee would not be too happy about that.

That's a shame. It would have been a good earner.
