Sunny Days at Perth Oval?

Well the Punctual Football Fan decided to venture down as he is a ticket holder to watch Perth Glory play against Adelaide United. As per usual the standard of the game was stop start and choppy with moments of class matched with moments of pure frustration. I don't normally sample the delights of Perth Oval, known as nib Stadium as the prices for the food and drink is ridiculously high, incredibly poor value and the proportions are a farce.
However PFF didn't eat that day due to cricket in the morning so he bought a hot dog and a bottle of coke for 15 dollars. The drink was 5 dollars! Can you believe that? What high-way robbery! I guess Tony Sage has to make his money some how and the contractor food vendors also need to make a profit too.

The hot dog wasn't too bad but for 10 dollars? perhaps 5 dollars too much i think. Even though you got large portions at Caversham, and not the "best" least you got value for money in their combo deals they had to offer the public. Perth went a goal down and pegged it back to finish the game at 1-1. Not bad but against quality sides that are higher on the table.

This is not good if you want to try and push for a play off spot. The viewing from the eastern grandstand also known as the "Jack Marks Stand" is a brilliant place to watch the game. I have to commend the Department of Sport and Recreation for getting this completed. Now to get the next stage underway and rebuild the western stand and bring this venue into the modern world of sport.
