The gloved one, based on the last couple of years you can get a train from Central Station every 7 to 10 minutes from about 2 hours before the game.

Come out early though and soak up all the atmosphere at the only pub out there before the game.

As it gets closer to game time the trains get less frequent. My last trip there my flight was delayed for four hours and so i was running rather late and had to wait about 20minutes for a train.

cheers everyone thanks for your help

Heard on the radio this afternoon they are cutting down on weekend services soon, to pick up the weekday services! Have I ever mentioned how much I dislike CityRail.

Train is your best option definitely... and yes, leave earlier rather than later!

I'm still planning the "SEASON OVER" sign! I'll come down and hand it to the CHEER SQUAD and you guys can hold it up at the end! mwahahahaha

Also, you'd be far better off getting a train right from the airport if you fly in that afternoon - it's much cheaper - and change at Central. Just look for the signs for trains to Olympic Park (lower number platform than where you get off - often they go from the country train platform) or follow all the red and white. Takes about 10 minutes from airport to city and maybe 20 minutes from Central to Olympic Park.

There's a pub between the train station at the ground and the stadium - called the Novotel and the bar is the Brewery. Food too but overpriced.

I'm making one too... heh heh ...

If possible, changing at Redfern makes sense. All the OP trains stop at the same platform so you don't have to wander through the maze of tunnels in Central Station, wondering if you can make the next train that leaves in one minute or should aim for the next one which is probably leaving from a platform at the opposite end of the station.

Quick tip to anyone buying: BUY NOW!! ITS ALMOST SOLD OUT!!

This match should have the biggest home and away crowd this year. The MCG is still being redeveloped, thus reducing its capacity.

Its on the same night as the Wallaby v England test in Brisbane. I wonder what effect that will have on the crowd and tv ratings.

I am coming up from Melbourne (tickets cost $39) and my daughter is coming from Darwin. Would like to meet up with others before the game.

If we all took 2 we could clap them together instead of our hands. The noise level would be huge, as well as getting the wooden Spooners point across.

Providing their still bottom, would the swans promote the bringing of the wooden spoons? Seeing as they did promotoe the "Boo-A-Roo" campaign a while back, i dont see why not.
