It is after all a home ground and it is their city.
Why do they need to make it to cater for opposition fans?
For every opposition fan who misses out there are Geelong fans who miss games at Etihad because they don't want to be arriving home at midnight from the football.
They have every right and they make far more money out of their 34,000 seat stadium than they would out of hosting the game at Etihad also.
There is simply no logic other than 'it is unfair that opposition supporters might not get a seat'.
Here is the thing.. Only 35,000 bothered to turn up to Etihad.
On a world scale, 34,000 is a very good sized stadium for a professional sports team and there is no way they should be restricted to only playing a couple of interstate teams a year there.
Let's play Collingwood, Essendon etc...there then. There's a reason those clubs don't play there, same reason we weren't playing those clubs at Princes Park in the end. Supporters have to be able to have the chance ti see their club. Cats already get 7 home games a year.
