We sometimes forget our Alto accommodation Richmond is just next to the action of the AFL grand Final. The favourite team Collingwood train just down the road at Gosch’s Paddock in Richmond. You can step onto the number 70 tram at the street corner and it is just a few minutes from your accommodation Richmond to Gosch’s Paddock and another few more to the MCG.
The controversy this week was whether Collingwood would train at the MCG or at the Paddock, given the last time they trained before a final they attracted 20,000 people. While you can still stroll down from your Richmond accommodation at Alto, what would happen if 40,000 people watch training on Wednesday and Friday? There may be chaos! In the event, there was a well behaved 20,000 people who stood around the ground and watched their team.
If you are staying at Alto accommodation Richmond and want to keep away from the football – you can walk over the Yarra to the Botanic Gardens, one of the many leafy places within walking distance of Alto accommodation Richmond.
