Marvel Stadium

You fly on your holidays? Well aren’t you a rich snob!

I’m lucky to go camping where I have to drive.

‘Camping’?
‘Camping’??
That’s how I live everyday, you posh wanka

Edit. Oh come on how is d ick and p iss filtered.

Well…would you prefer it raw?

For about the last 7 years yes we do.
On long haul flights to Europe getting some solid sleep on a flat bed is essential.
Most of it is paid with FF points from credit cards, flybuys etc as no way on earth we could afford to pay out of our own pockets. Being flexible with dates and booking on the hop is essential aswell as many airlines offer absolute steals at certain times

Don’t back-peddle now, you had all the plebs green with envy.

That’s not a back-peddle - that’s a double-down, mate.
Paid for it with FF points indeed…hahahahaha

I work in the entertainment business and our Marketing Director sent out an email about it this morning, with everyone replying saying how great it is. I feel like going on a rant about how and why its ■■■■■■, but I’m not too sure that’s a good idea.

I am curious about why they are saying it’s great. Can you elaborate please. Genuinely interested in why it would be great. As in preferable to something else? The money that changed hands? What specifically is great about it?

“A garage. A garage!”
“What do you call it?”
“A car-hole”

I caught an Aeroflot flight from Frankfurt to Moscow once. There were about 6 passengers on the ■■■■■■ old 737, my girlfriend and I and 4 massive Russian dudes who smashed vodka and chain smoked the whole way through the flight.

Hahaha, I flew in an ex-Soviet Antonov cargo plane where the crew were wearing singlets, shorts and sandals whilst smoking. And don’t get me started on the ex-Soviet helicopter crews the UN always used to contract to. The pilots used to mix windscreen wiper fluid and anti-freeze into their drinks because they couldn’t get hold of any vodka. I always feared they would suddenly go blind mid-flight. Life is pretty cheap in ol’ mother Russia.

I would have replied with “I only fly commercial airlines when the private jet is have the gold-plated stripper pole buffed”.

Should of called it Iron man 3.

[Deckham]

So - the big question. We’d be Daredevil, right? There’s Deadpool I guess - but that may not be the right choice. Also - with JoeDan & Hooker kicking for goal, Daredevil seems appropriate.

[FuriousGeorge]

Don’t pretend we’re not going to be labelled Captain America.

[Deckham]

Don’t pretend we’re not going to be labelled Captain America.

Red white & blue - would be Dogs.

[SplitRound]

You’ve seen our midfield right? Clearly Ant Man.

[simmo41]

Look, whether or not you think the movies are good, or they’re rubbish, surely we can all agree that having the advertising be a part of the match day experience is going to be extremely annoying regardless?

Yeah. Bring back HILLE’S HOME EXTENSIONS

Fantastic Four, used to be highly regarded but have been a laughing stock for years after a few misguided attempts to turn it all around.

[efc1robbo]

Ok time to go full nerd discussion. Which superhero would Essendon be?

[westozziebomber]

So you can’t have a dart up the top level when it’s only 15k?

[Bomb_Doe]

Iron Manington

wtf do you think we’ve been talking about??

[Scintilla]

Great as in branding for Marvel. Marketing-wise it is a very smart move to be able to talk and sell directly to the tens of thousands of people (many of which are in their core demographic) every week, let alone the impact of having the stadium named after their business.

As a Marketer, I have to agree - but the footy fan inside of me just sees it as a corporate vomit.

Well we had it tough. We used to have to get up out of the shoebox at twelve o’clock at night, and LICK the road clean with our tongues. We had half a handful of freezing cold gravel, worked twenty-four hours a day at the mill for fourpence every six years, and when we got home, our Dad would slice us in two with a bread knife.
