Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Round 23 Port v the Blues
I'm committed to the trip, although it certainly looks like another in a long line of poor judgement calls I've made. As some CSCers are aware, I am an umpire, so I am accustomed to being wrong.
To-night was certainly a shocker, and the performance has taken the gloss off my expectations about the round 23 match.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Round 23 Port v the Blues
Thanks for the tips. As it's conceivable it could be an elimination final a week early, and it's the last game at Football Park, the attendance might be a bit more than normal for Port matches.
Thanks again.

Robert Heatley Stand / Round 23 Port v the Blues
I'm planning to go to the match, my first trip interstate to watch the Blues. I've already booked flights and accommodation, but I'd be grateful for advice (either from those who have gone over to games previously, or from Adelaide-based Blues' supporters), especially the following:

1. Is it advisable to book tickets in advance, or is it OK to rock up on the day of the match?
2. If booking, what are the pros and cons of particular seating areas (e.g. is there an away fans' area, what are the issues in being in particular sections of the ground etc.?)
3. Is there likely to be some sort of gathering prior to the game, formal or informal?
4. I understand that there is a bus service from the city centre, is this an advisable way of travelling to the ground?

Thanks
