The Saints have a new partnership with the iconic Sea Baths in the club's spiritual home, St Kilda.

this came from my email.

The St Kilda Sea Baths is now our official venue for watching interstate games.

GREAT MOVE by the Saints, gives our fans a gathering point and somewhere decent to eat and drink.

Some great discounts on membership and prices too.

(What's that? Archie organised something else? But I thought he ruined the club ...)

Sounds like a fantastic way to watch the game, anyone know whether they have the sound up or is it just picture??

Probably just the picture. Hate when that happens.

Oh I do like to be beside the sea baths
Oh I do like to be beside the sea
Down near the junction past the football ground
That's where the saints like to hang around

So let's give three cheers for old St.Kilda
For premiers this year we will be
Although it's not yet in the bag
we have hopes to win the flag
beside the sea baths, beside the sea.

I don't want to put a dampener on this, but I wonder how many other clubs have this partnership?

I've seen the Chickengates, the Dorks, the Blue Baggers and even the Filth using this venue.

We are the ONLY club mentioned on their website and they are only promoting our games.

Good news

maybe you can do a semi live feed back to SS

Republica goes wireless. Free for the people.
No...not a free old radio, but free internet for all customers at Republica. As good as your office might be, does it have a view of the beach and a Barista?

they are advertising OTHER games - ie ANZAC day- but have listed Saints games.

Legendary, how's he feeling about the new gig he's landed at FFA?

BringBackMadDog · Thu 23 Apr 2009 5:20pm

Are there any other Forumites planning to attend?? Be great to meet a few of you and put faces to nicks

iwantmeseats · Thu 23 Apr 2009 5:56pm

On their facebook advertisement it says 8.30pm so i'm assuming it the channel 7 coverage

Ripper Kozif!
It will be lost on many , but to put a few youngies in the picture
this is based on what was our old club song before changing to "Oh When the Saints Come Marching In"
Well done very clever and bought a smile to this old farts face!

fantastic effort by the club

gotta love the sea baths

saint66au · Post: # 728681Post **saint66au** » Thu 23 Apr 2009 8:38pm

I think the venue has taken the start times from the AFL fixture rather than the TV guide..and assumed that tomorrow night will be shown live (which all the other games are...but tomorrow night absolutely WONT be

)

Absolutely wonderful work by the Club..theyve even made the hippy happy

Looking forward to heading down there for the remainder of the Interstate games.

saintspremiers · Thu 23 Apr 2009 10:46pm

I wonder if this spells the end of telecasting from the crappy Social Club??

Shame tomorrow night isn't live.

...still waiting on word of any venue that is showing it live through a dodgy feed.

Please PM me!!!

If there are ZERO venues getting a live feed, the farking AFL and Channel 7 have done a great job screwing all us supporters.

Well done Dimwit, I hope you don't allow this again in the new contract.

Fantastic news! And the boys can chow down on some healthy food at Soulmama Vegetarian Cafe after a swim

evertonfc · Post: # 728840Post **evertonfc** » Fri 24 Apr 2009 2:06am

It's great to see the club finally doing some networking with St Kilda the suburb.

And before anyone mentions, yes, it's proof they read this site closely. It might not be the last we see of the club re-forging links with the suburb...

Good work SS posters, well done to the club for taking action.

Post-work swim at the baths, pre-game drinks at The Saint, back to the baths for the game, back to The Saint to continue the fun...

What's wrong with the social club? The worn rippled carpet, the stale beer smell, the dodgy circa 1970's curtains and the substandard projector with even worse sound....good times.

Not sure evertonfc ... I know it was a tough call to leave the Saints because he is so passionate ... and many of the decisions he has made on and off the field are now bearing fruit, and he won't be around to take credit.

But it was basically a dream job and not the sort of opportunity he would get again ... I haven't heard at this stage how it's going ...
