The Brisbane Lions should be no strangers to Etihad Stadium – particularly considering this Sunday will mark the Club’s fourth visit to the Docklands venue in their past six matches.

The Lions faced Collingwood and Carlton at Etihad Stadium in final two rounds of their victorious NAB Cup campaign, before returning a couple of weeks later for their forgettable season-opener against the Western Bulldogs.

North Melbourne will host the Lions this Sunday, with both teams eager to turn around relatively poor starts to the 2013 season.

Victorian-based Lions fans will get the added bonus of witnessing history as both Sam Docherty and Marco Paparone line up for the first AFL matches of their career.

A healthy collection of past Fitzroy, Bears and Brisbane Lions past players – including inaugural Hall of Fame inductees Kevin Murray and Bill Stephen – will also be in attendance on Sunday evening as part of the Club’s annual Past Players & Officials Reunion.

Lions members heading to the match are advised to take note of the following important information:

Membership Queries / Ticket Collection
A Lions Membership Supervisor will be on site at the AFL Ticket Collection window (near Gate 5 at Etihad Stadium) for any membership questions or enquiries from 3.30pm until bounce. Please direct any of your match day questions here, as there won’t be a marquee positioned on the Bourke Street footbridge as normal.

FREE postage for Victoria-based members
Due to the unavailability of the Lions Shop marquee at Etihad Stadium this Sunday, all Victorian members will receive FREE postage from Thursday 19 April until 11pm Monday 22 April.

Simply redeem your $15 Lions Shop voucher online and your free postage will be automatically applied – so visit www.lionsshop.com.au now!

The Lions Shop will be back on site at Etihad Stadium before the team’s clash against Essendon if you’d prefer to wait and redeem your voucher in person (there will also be some exciting NEW merchandise available on the day).
