Is Docklands that bad? Surely you'd still rather see your team play footy than not?
I’ve heard from some members that a group had organised a boycott of the game to stick it up the AFL.
Members of MCG clubs hate going there as it is because they are used to their regular seats especially older members.
Personally my home seats at Marvel are some of the best seats I’ve experienced anywhere around the world and love Marvel. It can be sterile at times but if it’s a close game even a smallish crowd can make a lot of noise
Think that was evidenced yesterday, where despite a poor game being played, the atmosphere was excellent in the last quarter due to the close nature of the contest.
I have limited experience at Marvel/docklands.
However, listening to the rubbish that it's soul-less etc I find is just absolute rubbish.
I actually think the atmosphere created under the roof is quite a vibrant one and the roof helps to amplify the crowd.
My issue is, go in for a day game and then when you walk out you forget it's actually a day game and your eyes become shocked there is still natural light (can't say sun, we know they don't get much vitamin D) as you have become accustomed to the bright lights of marvel
