Night At The Apollo

Great Idea Isaac! Anything to fill those seats...

I like your idea Isaac. I noticed that both ends behind the basket were pretty empty last Saturday and yet we had a bunch of people up in the nosebleeds! Definitely need to fill the stands behind the baskets to build atmos both live and on tv. And I reckon the larger the group the more rowdy they'll be too, which is exactly what you want for opposition FT's!

Isaac - Exact same thought. I personally wouldnt want to pay the same to sit behind the basket as someone who is sitting 6 rows back in the centre of the court.

Camel 31....would have to agree with you there.
My son had his little 36ers uniform and he loved it from start to finish. Cheering, clapping and dancing except when he was gettin a little tired by the end of the night lol....he's only 2.
My wife and I enjoyed the game and the dinner with my parents and friends.
I think the pricing at the kiosks need to be looked at but I highly doubt they will. Not to mention the ridiculous $4+ price for a small 375 or 390ml (whatever it is) bottle of coke from the Apollo Restaurant. None the less it was a great meal and great service.
Overall look is a whole lot better eg the championship banners and the Davis and Maher singlets hangin where they should be for all to see and admire.
Anyhoo enough from me... bring on the next home game woo hooo!!!

Cheers for the review. We're booked in for this Fri (Crocs game) and looking forward to it.

I'm a fan of the changes being brought in too - I'd definitely pay $5 to watch live streams of away games if other clubs brought it in and the game wasn't televised.

The Kiosks seem to be a bit worse than last year. While it looks like a neat having everything in shiny containers etc. the quality seems to a bit off-putting.

Also, no Strong FUIC. That's just shocking. It will take months to ween myself back on "regular".

The most enjoyable thing is the win
and the second most enjoyable thing is this:
The smiles on the childrens faces when they are clapping away with their parents, grandparents and the crowd to the game with background music.

Handheld scanners have been there for a while now?
Been talked about on here the Premiership banners are hanging from the rafters were they should be hanging.

Tell me if it doesnt but do the members discount -recharge cards knock off 10/% at the kiosk?
We are eating at home and bringing BYO drinks and chips anyway but since i read your post we will do the Apollo Walk.
The premiership flags were off the wall.I thought they were loud and proud there and I couldnt see if they went somewhere else.I was disgruntled.
Also what was with the entry gates?We got there earlier but before the game started I had to go back to the car and the Q was out to the Oval .Did everyone have problems with the handheld scanners?

Great to hear the restaurant went well, my biggest concern when hearing about it is getting the food ordered, cooked, served and eaten in a 2 hour time frame, looks like they handled it pretty well and people had sufficient time to enjoy a feed and a few pre-game drinks.

Look forward to dining at the Dome when I'm over next!

Well at least it's better value than the kiosks. $4.20 for a bucket of chips, $4 for a coke, $7 for a shoddy burger. Extortion.

Might need to extend the Apollo Restaurant if it keeps on being booked out.

sorry for the long post btw!

what do people think of the competition in 16 and 18's div 1 boys

in my opinion the top 6 or 7 teams in each grade are all very close with the exception of sturt 16s div 1
