Intra-Club game....CONFIRMED....5.00pm !!

[saintspremiers]

5pm is lousy for those who work on Fridays.. i really don't know how they're going to fit the numbers in when the stands are looking the way they are. Plus parking is always an issue, especially as it appears road works will be underway close by.
Looks like it could prevent me from going.

The stands have been closed to the public for a couple of years now in any case

I thought there were people in them last year??

Yes, they were...

The fans tore down the plastic tapes on the entrance to the stand..

The council (I believe), put them up a couple of years ago stating they were unsafe...

[esaint66]

Of course it's the same day as Australia vs. New Zoland one dayer

wow!

Carefactor??

The game will be almost over by 6pm! (cricket that is!)

Yeah with the Kiwi's getting up *giggles hopefully* !!

Descisions descisions ... Cricket or footy .... hmmmmm ....

[milney044]

when i mentioned stands i was refering not only to them but the ground area below as well. Nonetheless it does take a lot to keep me away from anything related to the Saints.. still, i won't be able to get there til late so the parking still stands as an issue.
Meh, i've been pretty lucky when it comes to intraclub games over the years so i should be able to handle one miss/ late arrival.

[Devilhead]

I just hope we can have a good win and get the season off to a great start

I assume some sandy players are coming down to help make up numbers? Helps that almost the full squad are fit....

Why not give the 2 scholarship players that we have available at the end of this season a crack at mixing it with the big boys that would test them out especially the new scholarship player who was picked up recently, him and Josh Duncan would see how hard the real comp is and give us a look at them play.

Duncan is in his 3rd year as a scholarship player and played for nsw in the state comp last year and will be 18 in June and the new scholarship boy Widmar is 18 in a few days

[saintspremiers]

You missed the point Fid.......it's all well and good for those on the spam list, but there is no excuse for it not to be on the Bigshyte Pond saints.com.au website.

Mind you, the spam email will have covered 95% of fans that are likely to attend!

I have been a member since '87 and a social club member since 92 my point was that a intra club game is 6days away the end of a era etc etc but the club cant post any info on it

surely if im a member of 50yrs or a ten yr kid the first place you would go too find out info on the club is the club web site

[Armoooo]

It is a fair dinkum disgrace, not a go at the current administration, just the website.

If my mate didn't pull out at the last minute on friday night we would have got to the game a week early, poor communication.

[saint66au]

One assumes that the Club convey the info they want uploaded to the site to BigPond..who then to the actual FTP upload or whatever.

So...either the Club are very tardy getting info to BigPond...or BigPond are very tardy altering the site

Either way, someone at the Club needs to bang heads together. Few things looks more unprofessional than an out of date or incomplete sports website..and the average fan would just think its all done by the Club

so its now monday night and its still not up, so does the club just not want too promote something that will get people down at the club spending money at the shop, in the bar and maybe even at the pokies or even god forbid sell some memberships but then again i didnt go too uni and do a marketing degree so what do i know

[Eastern]

Info about the intra-club game has been in both Herald-Sun & Age, on SEN and in the members e-mail. I'm guessing the club will crank it up even further later in the week but I'm not sure the club should be spending money promoting it. Those who want to go will know about it and make the necessary arrangements. The internet (incl this forum) is a fantastic source of information !!

Putting it on our own bloody website overrides all of the above though

Whoever's fault it is...its a poor effort

hows putting it on the club website spending money????

[saintspremiers]

I've tried to post something on Ask Archie.

It may be editied as I made mention of Saintsational being a lot more useful than the official website for info!!!
