Re: Gold Coast v Saints..Queens B/Day weekend
We were in the Victory Room last night and Bruce Eva encouraged everyone to go to the pre match function that Saint Bev has mentioned here.Saint Bev wrote:Don't know where you live Stevie, I live in Varsity Lakes and it was 10 last Sat night, a chilly one though. Most nights are around 15, day temps are around 22.
Just letting everyone know that there will be an open training session on Friday the 8th, 3.30 at Metricon. Players will be available for autographs after + there may be a bbq (awaiting confirmation).
Also on Saturday there will be a Cocktail Party party prior to the game at the Pines Hotel, starting at 2.00pm. Tickets will include bus to the ground, bookings through St Kilda.
NOTE - there will be NO post match functions.
For anyone buying tickets, we are sitting in Section 108 row c
Will post confirmed details as soon as I know.
Guest speaker will be Geoff "Joffa" Cunningham.
Us older Sainters would get a kick out of that

Re: Gold Coast v Saints..Queens B/Day weekend
Looking forward to meeting a few of you guys at Metricon next Saturday!
Thought I'd post a picture of me so you can yell out when you see me!

I'm second from the left with no shoes on. Its an old photo - I don't smoke anymore and have no hair! Also sadly, two of me mates have died...
I also wouldn't be seen dead in purple these days...
This was taken when me and the lads were heading over to the 7/11 to get a pie before the footy...
See you at the game!!

Does anyone know of a bar inside the ground to drink..o are they all "take back to your seat" types?
Were in 206 by the way..under cover which might been a good thing looking at the forecast..

Re: Gold Coast v Saints..Queens B/Day weekend
Was up at the Gold Coast in 2008 for the North Melbourne game, (The stadium appears to be a wee bit better now
) It was great to see the boys get a win. I had a great old time at the bar called Liars I think! (named after an ex-coach of ours?
) You'll have a great old time folks, wish I was with you! GO SAINTS!!!!

"Another storied win in Robert Harvey's career. They say he is the embodiment of their motto of strength through loyalty, and on the day he became just the tenth man to play 350 league games the saints reward him with a seemingly impossible victory."

Heaps of bars there mate. You can take beers to your seat as long as you are in a wet area. A couple of bars have seats and tables for bigger mingling.saint66au wrote:Whoops sorry for doubling up on threads...didnt see that this one had been bumped

Not really anything like that under scoreboard, that area is like some seats with standing behind.saint66au wrote:Cool thanks..just been doing some web browsing..that Light tower bar is right near our seats but only for GC Members it appearsstevie wrote:Heaps of bars there mate.

Theres a bar and lawn area at the Southern end behind the stands. they have live music pre game and comfy bean bags to flop in. Heaps of bars around the ground and food stalls, coffee, etc. i always take in rolls and water and snacks for the kids and buy a couple of coffees later.

I am staying at the Royal Pines golf course. Is that where the cocktail party is? Anyway look forward to seeing you all there. In case you dont know what I look like. I am a little overweight, look part greek and will have a huge smile on my face because of the salary I earn. Come over and say hello.

Re: Gold Coast v Saints..Queens B/Day weekend
Couple of quick questions for those in the know. We are in section 212 - any bars near there that aren't for GC members?
Anyone know what's happening re training (do we have a session at Metricon on the Friday)? Am up there for work this week, and can knock off early if necessary on the Friday PM if there's a training session.

We will have a training session as we always train a day before the game. If they let people go they will probably announce it later this week.
