Wallabies v Argentina Sat 2 October CBus Stadium

[Wilson]

The Queensland Government has reduced the capacity to 75% due to COVID cases. Good luck to Rugby Australia (and the NRL) who now have to hustle and try to work out how not to let various ticket holders in.

No idea on what basis they refund various tickets.

I believe tickets were sold in stages such that they can cut back to various capacity limits on a first come first serve basis. There was something about this in the press conference, but ultimately it's something that is up to the stadiums to manage.

Were they even going to hit 75% capacity? That would have been a great result on the GC, based on previous experience.

 

[Ignoto]

ahah class play from Pablo.

whaaat? Nooo? I can’t come back to play again? I’ll have to stay in… Byron Bay and watch the game from the local pub? Ay Dios mio

Burleigh is better than Byron Bay these days. Everything is a sell out at Bryon these days, even the beer aka Stone and Wood......

Apparently it was sold out:

Could a moderator please censor this particular word, it's repeatedly triggering me.


Thanks.

Is that a first for the Gold Coast?

 

[Tazzmania]

Possibily to manage portion of the 75% based on which match the spectator wants to watch they may be able to at least switch crowds between the two matches not easy but at least an option to reduce crowd in more equitable fashion than random lottery

Should I change it to Tasesa?

I can hear the good Dr Blundershart wincing from here.

V'landys has said ARL will boot out Grand Final ticket holders on a "last to buy, first out" basis.

A post I saw on Twitter said the same thing for us

I don't think that's really workable, particularily not at such late notice

I'll stand corrected, then - shame, that would have been a great effort from the local community.

 

[KOB1987]

Have to say, this crowd reduction thing is one of the most idiotic initiatives I have seen during this whole covid debacle, and that’s saying a lot. If there’s going to be an outbreak, this is going to do precisely 2% of fuck all to stop it. Classic ‘be seen to be doing something’, that’s just going to unfairly upset 20k people over the weekend.

So Wright in 23 - Fullback trial in the last 20?

 

[KOB1987]

So Wright or 23 - Fullback trial in the last 20?

Him or one of the starting wingers. Kellaway ran there last week

 

[dillyboy]

Who'd Tate piss off?

 

[Derpus]

Definitely a bit more experimental, particularly the bench.

 

[Wilson]

Who'd Tate piss off?

I think it's more about working out if Gordon or Lonergan is the 3rd halfback on tour

 

[barbarian]

I like that side. Keeping the key combinations while rotating a few guys in who have earned a shot.
