Anzac Game

[Baldy]

BUT they would still want to watch the main game.

So they watch the Ressies and the Main game. They're happy but for some unknown reason Centurion isn't

Did I say it was an inconvenience for me?

If its not an inconvenience for you Centurion, why harp (dwell on continuously) so much about the wait for the the main game

listen, again....or should I say read closely, every year I watch all the people who go to the March, then afterward they go home, the game starts MUCH later, if the MAIN game started sooner, MAYBE they might stay & we MIGHT get more people to the game, sorry for trying to promote the game, your mob included. I personally don't give a stuff, I am not 80 and tired at 4pm. get it??????????????????

Hi Centurion, I am a returned serviceman who will be at dawn service, at the march and then, after many years of waiting, will be at the game, both rezzies and league. By the time I go home I reckon I'l be absolutely rooted, not to mention well oiled. This is the one day of the year that people such as myself really are made to feel special and I was pleasantly surprised by the number of opposition supporters, Maggies as in the case of last years game at the Parade, who offered me a beer. Not to mention one guy who came up to me with his young son and said "thankyou". Brought a tear to my eye.

I fully understand your sentiment, it is very valid, and whilst I am not of the 80 year old bracket, being from the Vietnam era, I know that the day will test my stamina. But hey, small price to pay I reckon.

Thanks again mate for having a thought for others but don't worry, we'll make it.

Couldn't agree more and its not hard to work out I wouldn't have thought. This should have occurred years ago.
The crowd increase would be significant , they have the march , catch up and a have few beers and then carry on with their mates at the footy . It would make it even a better day for them IMO.
