The Melbourne Cricket Club can confirm that the start time for the Round 24 AFL match between Richmond and the Gold Coast SUNS on Saturday, August 24 has been moved back to a 3:20pm start (from the original 2:10pm start time).
The change in match start time is due to a scheduling change for the Hawthorn vs North Melbourne match at UTAS Stadium in Launceston, which has been brought forward to an earlier start time on Saturday due to circumstances outside the AFL’s control.As a result of this change to the match start time, the Members’ Reserve Gate 2 opening time will be pushed back to 1:30pm.
There will be no changes to Yarra Park parking opening hours for accessibility and accredited passholders. Please note that general public parking is not available in Yarra Park for this match.
