Definitely call the membership dept - we have received our original memberships - and since then have decided to upgrade - and have received them as well - there are only 11 business days until the first game - best make that call!!!!!

Cards were sent first - in single letter . Then you get paraphanalia

reminder if you are driving to Ballarat don't panic and take the first exit- Continue Right toward Adelaide and take exit 3- A300
You will then cross an round about where exit left takes you to Midlands Golf club ( above where the writing Invermay Park is ) where you can park and ride
or continue through round about and traffic lights to find Stadium on your right.
711 Creswick rd if you looking on GPS.

I can understand why someone would panic if they thought they were heading toward Adelaide.

Absolutely - if you see people jumping from a moving vehicle ahead of you, those people have seen the signs for Adelaide and panicked - don't do that!! You'll know if you're getting dangerously close to Adelaide as you will start to feel unusually sleepy......

Geesus. Poor Adelaide if people are scared to miss Ballarat for it.

went there to see Roos first game? and Hamills ?

went there to see Roos first game? and Hamills ?

Me and me dad went to that match. Ive mentioned this before. One of my greatest days as a Saints supporter.

We blew a radiator hose five minutes out of town on our way home to the bayside. We got out to have a look and with bonnet up and emergency lignts flashing, we thought we were doomed for a very late return home.

Then this dusty, tired looking, old XD falcon pulls up with a young blond headed fella sticking his head out the passenger door window saying 'Everything alright'.

Nick Riewoldt was the passenger with Kosi doing the driving. They offered us a lift home and took us all the way to Chelsea Heights, a few suberbs passed where they we staying, we couldn't believe our luck or how down to earth they were.

In the midst of the conversation as we were thanking them Nick says, 'I saw the jumper and just couldn't drive passed'.

[Life Long Saint]

Just FYI that Footscray and Sanringham VFL teams are playing the curtain raiser before this game. That starts at 12:30pm I think.
So, don't be scared to get there early to see the magoos.
