Good Friday Football

[bulldogproud2]

Could there be a Good Friday Carnival day held at Adelaide Oval, based on the fact Central play Norwood on Anzac Day could we have had

eg, 12:00- Sturt vs Port
3:00- North vs Glenelg
6:30- West vs South

If you are going to play football on Good Friday, keep it to the evening. The sacred time is actually 3:00pm when the death of Jesus is commemorated.
However, as stated earlier, the reason for not having a match on this day may be more to do with cost than religious observance.
Cheers

ALLEGED death.

Actually, the death was not ALLEGED. Even in secular writings, the death of Jesus is recorded many times. What is alleged is not his actual death but whether he was the Messiah or just a naughty boy!

No probs, will do ... as long as you go to work on Adelaide Cup Day of you don't go to the races, or don't sing happy Birthday for the Queen in June (when it's not her Birthday anyway).

Yes I'm a Heathen, and proud of it ...

Final Score:

Subiaco 16.11 107
East Perth 13.13 91

The commentators are saying that Good Friday footy is here to stay. Pretty successful day by the sounds of it.

Good retort, Dedja. True, I need to work on Adelaide Cup Day with my logic
As for the Queen's Birthday, being a member of the Barmy Army I do sing Happy Birthday on that day!

LOL, gearing up for the wedding are we?

It's a very good crowd for the WAFL.

[mighty_tiger_79]

well done wafl

[The Sleeping Giant]

And I bet the home side got an above normal member sign up today so they could have a couple of beers.

[Jim05]

Surely WA is not a nanna state aswell, i thought we were the only wowser state. Booze was readily available at both NRL games in Sydney tonight.

[mighty_tiger_79]

wa a nanna state???

They had footy even if it was a restriction on booze its good to have footy today

[Jim05]

If you cant get booze on good friday then yes they must be a nanna state

[redden whites]

I'm just glad North are playing Saturday arvo.I don't give a rats if there is a game played today or not .
I did not miss not having a game on today at all .

Yeah but was it a financial success?

[Jim05]

Build it and they will come.
The first 2 teams to get some kahunas and play on good friday should be granted it permanently.
5000 is a fantastic crowd for WAFL.
One of last nights SANFL games should have been tonight, i reckon if the south v port game was tonight they would have had nearly double crowd. I know as a neutral i would have taken my family down tonight
