    RWO 'party train' to Geelong for Cats game

    Hey fellow mid-season wrist-slitters,
    Am wanting to test the waters to see how (or indeed, if) people are getting to the Geelong match this Saturday. I'm not expecting a horribly fun afternoon to be honest, both in terms of the weather or the result. But am heading on down to Corio Bay regardless to try & get the boys up. We may well enjoy having people to share the day with, especially if we come home both drenched and seeing our team possibly kick 2 goals until half time.

    To those of you who are going, how are you getting down there? Are any going by train? If so, how much does it cost? And which is the best train to catch, both down & back? I see those funky looking trains pass through Seddon every day. So I would like to eventually go on one. Maybe people getting on at Southern Cross can save me a seat or something so we can all go down together in a group? Do the V-Line trains have designated seating?

    Anyone wanting to do anything in Geelong at all? I'm aware that several RWOers live in that area. So we in the Swans family may well want to go out to somewhere warm and dry after the game.

    So, get to it groovers. Who is going to Geelong? Where are you sitting? And how are you getting there? And if so, at what time?

    You never know. The team may give us reason to enjoy the day more. But if not, we have to entertain ourselves to at least make the best of things.

    JF
    PS:- Any chance of a sticky for this thread for this week mods?

    I too don't like the look of forecast for the day,its cold and windy down there at the best of times.But again we are doing our 'road trip' down there again,leaving at 9 am to get there when gates open at 10.30,just sitting in GA behind the goals.
    I do hold some faith we will win this week(always the optimist) geelong have won 7 in a row and now had a break which hopefully stops there run, and also remembering it is a day game-we don't lose them this year do we?

          Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

              *LOL* I don't think Doug Walters ever played at Skilled Stadium, maybe its the Doug Wade stand.

                      Myself and 4 mates are in the Gary Ablett Terrace, row G. We will be heading down from Melbourne via the train and then we have a hired car ready to drive us straight to the MCG for the Wallabies V All Blacks and then on Sunday tickets to Collingwood V Hawthorn.

                      What a footy feast!! CANNOT WAIT!!
