Not sure where this should go mods, sorry.

Hey guys i am flying over round 4 to go to the Carlton versus Collingwood game at the G, I havent been to the new redeveloped G, i am currently just an interstate member which i think gets me access to 4 games maybe, I assume this is just general admin though. My flight only gets in at 11.30 though so i thought i would pay some extra money and buy some reserved seats, never actaully been to the new redeveloped G what is the best place to sit? Also is there anyway to sit in an area where there is likely to be more Carlton than Collingwood supporters?

Corporate boxes would be your best bet. Carlton supporters frequent them and Collingwood supporters either clean them or steal from them.
I find that the Northern stand is the best spot, followed by the Ponsford stand. The sun hits the other stands.

Skippers Blue,

My reserve seats are in new northern stand bay M50.
This is a Carlton members bay but they sell reseve seats to opposition supporters.

Bay M50 is CHF towards punt rd end.
The northern stand starts at the punt road end goals and continues to the other goals city end. The MCC is in the middle of it all.
Ticketmaster does have maps when booking your seats.

Northern stand is on the members side of the ground and starts on the wing/half forward flank and goes down to the forward pocket towards the Punt Road End. The Ponsford stand is behind the goals at the city end of the ground.

I booked seats in the Olympic Stand, section M52.

Looking forward to it!

Was Dick wearing his loud shirt that day? He is so groovy.

Dont think the shirt was particularly loud, but running white, what appeared to be cricket trouser, which obviously werent and a nice sky blue jacket and leading the singing of the Carlton theme song from the boundry in front of us, where i reckon we outnumbed Hawks supporters 5 -1 on what is supposed to be Hawthorns new adopted state was a pretty cool experience!
