  • CHAPTER 6 : the Historical Background to Ticket Rage
    Chapter 6: THE GRAND FINAL At first sight, club members’ acceptance of the St.Kilda, North Melbourne and Richmond relocations of 1964 and 1965 suggested that popular sovereignty over League football, based on a combination of the barracker’s clout as a consumer and the club member’s power as a voter, remained unbroken. The V.F.L. and the clubs were forced to court public patronage by making the Game as universally accessible and attractive as possible. Their success or otherwise was readily measurable, week by week, in turnstile clicks. Every September, however, the dynamics of the market were apt to change. For the dedicated supporter of a League football club, a football season was like an emotional roller- coaster as the club’s fortunes rose and fell from week to week. A club’s overall success could be measured each week by its position on the premiership ladder. For many supporters the ride ended when the home-and- away series ended. Supporters of clubs at the bottom end of the ladder had to put their hopes on hold during the spring and summer months to come. Some adopted another club temporarily during September. In 1990 for example, members of the Carlton, St.Kilda and North Melbourne cheersquads helped to bolster the numbers of the West Coast Cheer Squad during the Eagles’ finals campaign.1 Many other supporters of non- finalists turned their weekend attention to other things. 164 For the supporters of the more successful clubs, the last four weeks of the League football season represented the culmination of a year of fluctuating emotions.

  • 52026 Mission Melbourne Fact Sheet
    TRAVEL WITH CHRIS BROWN MELBOURNE UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCES Its travel with a twist this week as Amanda sends Chris on an unforgettable trip to Melbourne. It has been voted most livable city in the world two years running but that’s not why Chris is there. Armed with a list of challenges that Amanda has set, Chris makes his mark on the city courtesy of a graffiti art project and joins a training session with some of Melbourne’s fittest men, the St Kilda Saints. Then it’s off to Fitzroy’s famous Kodiak bar for a ‘Hot Wings Challenge’ against local competitive eating champion ‘Hungry Haddo’. It’s travel day that Chris will never forget! TRAM SESSIONS Tram Sessions, a not-for-porfit project is the creation of Sweden study-exchange students Nick Walberg and Carl Mamsten. Inspired by Black Cab Sessions in London and Take- Away Shows on La Blogotheque in Paris, both of which feature artists performing outside their typical comfort zone. Starting off in true guerrilla style with a 2010 pilot that roped in a friend as performer, the duo soon had the approval of Yarra Trams. But beyond the presentation and a simple idea that is so very ‘Melbourne’, Tram Sessions is about the Victorian capital in another, more specific way. Over the last five years, Melburnians have watched as an increasing number of inner city live music venues have closed their doors. The Trams Session’s Statement of Purpose: • to encourage the use of sustainable transport by letting Melbourne artists and bacnds perfor on city trams.

Times were tough; banks had gone broke, and many people had lost their jobs, their land and their life savings. In an obscure section of the Evelyn Observer Newspaper, on Friday, 30th June 1893, the following report appeared: DIAMOND CREEK v GREENSBOROUGH The first match played by the Greensborough Football Club, which has only lately been formed, took place on Saturday last (24th June) and resulted in a draw. The match was between teams representing Diamond Creek and Greensborough. Play commenced a few minutes after 3pm and was pretty fast throughout, with the Blue and Whites (Greensborough) doing their best to keep the ball going towards their opponent’s goal.
