we charged everyone, who wasn't a player or official on the day, to park for $5 as well

Seems more than reasonable.

We charge $5 for car parking as well when we host finals. Don't see the issue - you have to make the money back for hosting finals somehow. You don't like it, park outside the gate and walk the 30 metres to the oval......first world problems!!

Surely something similar could happen in amatuer league if you want to charge people at the gate?

It was good to have someone from HV step in and control this individual, eventually. I'm sure we'll forgive the racist comments that he made towards some of our supporters as he was clearly suffering from some kind of intoxication.

Considering the close proximity to the players race to the bar, it might have been nice to have match officials besides the pooraka ones in this area, but perhaps they were busy with the umpires as they were copping plenty as well, but that is only a suggestion.

Otherwise it was pretty well hosted, Young blokes on the gate offered to hand back my $5 if i couldn't find a park, which i thought was decent, an offer that wasn't needed as parks were still found.

And from our point of view both A's and B's were both played in good spirits and were both good spectacles of finals football in their respective grades.

standard pretty much everywhere else you go. Morphett Vale v Reynella yesterday the only people parking outside the gate were the ones that got there late and couldn't get a park inside. Cars were two deep around the ground. Nice earner for the club every 2nd week

Never understand why this is a big deal in the SAAFL. Country leagues charge for entry every game and prices always go up during finals.

This. I'm happy to pay $5 to see a decent game of footy, which most finals should be.
