Hey TCers, just a quick question.

Alas I can't take my brand-spanking new reserved seat for tomorrow night's match - but that's ok, because I'm instead taking my 9 year old brother to his first ever football match (along with other brother No.1Blue, my mum and my cheese and kisses).

He's got the Carlton guernsey his brother's got him for Xmas, his cap and scarf and as soon as school finishes for Easter I'll be taking him to the football Mecca to watch what will hopefully be the first of many wins!

Ok - the question is this, I finish work in the city (early :wink: ) and will be meeting them at the ground. I'll be getting general admission seats early and want to get inside to get a decent seat before the place gets completely chokkas as predicted.

Where are the best general admission seats?! Are the only general admission seats on the top level?! Can anybody suggest a gate/stand/level? My brother has Aspberger's Syndrome (similar to ADD) so the closer to the action/more watchable the better I reckon...

I just want my little bro to have the best possible experience of his first Carlton match - hopefully capped off with a win!! :wink:

Cheers.

I like to sit in the Olympic Stand too, towards the MCC Members side.

Top deck close to the rails is a great spot.... saw Fev demolish the Bombers from there last year ! :-D
