On 360 Wheatley thought there would be only a small crowd of about 40,000 for the Semi Final at Homebush, and it will only be bigger if the Carlton supporters come up en mass.

40K is an embarrassing turn out for an AFL game, let alone an AFL final.

Who is flying to Sydney for the Semi Final?

Are you planning on being at the Novotel at 5.30 or straight to the game?

Mosche? Doc? Psych? Agro? the regular travelling teamsters...are you up for this one? Others?

Bluegirl72 is one...onya Bluegirl...look forward to meeting you.

Taking my son and wife to the game. Will be only his second live Blues game, the first was Adelaide earlier this year in Melbourne, hope he continues with the 100% success rate! :)

Doing the "hit & run" raid on Saturday.

Driving to Sydney (Parramatta) with the kids, getting in around 3pm.

Leaving early Sunday morning, will be knackered, hopefully happy knackered.

Sitting around Aisle 106, maybe catch up with you at half time or after game at Novotel or something.

Just arrived in Sydney, client stuff tomorrow then off to the game via a train from Central.

Sitting with a whole bunch of Swannies mates/members in their zone, but the CFC jumper will be worn proudly and loudly. First time to ANZ, wish it wasn't so far out of the CBD.

Would love to hook up Bondi, any suggestions?

I'm flying up solo on Saturday. Keen to catch up with Blues fans for a drink pre-game be it at the brewery or novotel. The Brewery setup last time was fantastic.

I have a free ticket if anyone needs a ticket. Not with the supporter group but a good seat on the Eastern wing. Section 408-1.
Only catch is you got to put up with me all match.
PM me if interested.

4pm flight with virgin...
I mean my wife (collingwood supporter, but she was there 99PF and sang the song) and other Carlton couple, making a w/end of it. Will try for Novotel.

Getting tickets at anz stadium club they seemed amused that I was so quick Monday wanting to arrange good seats, so yes 40-45K I'd say

Am considering the overnight bus or train - they both leave at about the same time tomorrow night but the train gets you to Sydney about an hour earlier (not that it really matters I suppose when you're travelling for that long!). What's it like?

Yep, bringing a mate who is a Sydney man. Told him I would sort tickets through my membership and I'm sticking him right in the middle of a Carlton section. PUMPED.

hitching a ride with Bluey95, from canberra on saturday morning.

bite to eat for lunch out at coogee where we are staying the night, then I assume we'll get the train out to the ground, probably a drink or two at the novotel/brewery. i'm sure i'll see plenty of familiar faces.

public transport info etc can be found here http://news.anzstadium.com.au/rp//143/process.clsp?EmailId=500120349&Token=2D39D7F1C6A20804F9BDCC3DDD73C1FC5
