Whose got their tickets?

Isn't 2012 supposed to be the apocalypse? I'm sure the game will be scheduled for the night it starts.

2010: One of the coldest Perth nights on record.
2011: Freak once-in-ten-year rain storm.
2012: Hailstorm? Snow?! Tornado?!

I made a similar comment to my mates at the game.

My jacket was waterproof for maybe 20-30 mins and the water just kept comming down

Few of my Fumbleball mates were there as well, not sitting with our group but I caught up with them at half time

Now I know why we had torrential rain...... Jason, you jinxed us!

Great that we've sold 17K+, nice weather and we may get a good walk up

Tsk, tsk!

Mine lasted about 5mins. I realised that night why they call it a spray jacket ... because anything heavier than a light mist of rain is too much for it to handle. My jacket and pants made from this material. I was soaked to the bone before the end of the WA vs BARLA game (and I only got there with 20mins to go!). My shoes were the first to fill up with water (literally, I moved my feet inside my shoes and could feel the water around my feet), and when I stood up to cheer a Souths try, all the water which had built up inside my pants gushed out the bottom of my pants legs like two taps had been turned on. The first time I didn't know this was the case, so was surprised to see so much water gushing out!

It was very uncomfortable that night, but I wasn't tempted to leave. It's a night I'll never forget!

Thats the spirit!

I think most were in the same boat. I could squeeze the sleeves on my jacket and water came pouring out, same with my jeans.

Was good fun though

Wonder if the NRL and the Clubs can be talked into 4 games next year

I sincerely doubt it.

2 games is possible; 3 games if lucky.

Well done to everyone over in the West, a great job by the WARL and the Red Army.

 

[Perth Red]

Cheers, certainly got the outcome in terms of crowd and message to the NRL we were hoping for.

Red Army memberships have been coming in as well so that is a positive and we got lots of good positive feedback from fans on the night.
