ANZ members bar

[Gronk]

you can get there quicker by walking accross the arena, come on I dare you to..:badgrin:

Sounds like you're in charge of the snipers. :shock:

Well done Sherlock. :lol:

no worries - if there's anything else you need to know, give me a yell :thumn

I think it is a little disappointing that the players were not available after the game last week. Indeed if there was ever an event to celebrate with the fans, surely it was this one. A sunday afternoon, in an area that is "Members Only" you could even set up a membership stall at the foot of the stairs, to sell some of those new $40 memberships.

But the club management knows best i guess.

I am quite sure all you need to be is a Blue and Gold army member last year to get access, so I would have thought the same, but I didn't get a look at the game day credentials sheets to verify

In saying that I was also disappointed at the ANZ gold members bar, in that the cafe section was closed almost as soon as the whistle went, if not before, that area is supposed to be open for another 30 minutes for members to sit down and relax and talk about the game while the vast majority of fans leave the stadium.

I know it worked a treat at the Warratahs this weekend. Hell we even had a 2 man band playing in the members cafe for an hour or more after that game offically finished. Having said that I lost all interest in the game about 15 minutes in.

Yeah I mean even if it were only 5-6 players each game on a rotational basis, similar to the Red V functions, they would definitely get a good turn out each week.

Yeah but if I say something like that these days, I am anti-establishment and "putting in the slipper". It is for others to comment and work on now.

I like PG's idea of having 5-6 players.

Do one after each game and rotate the players.

I reckon you'll get decent turnouts - escpecially on 5.30 saturday and sunday games. 7.30 kick offs might rule out kids.

Either that, or you just do one or two a year and everyone fronts up and you cant move

why would we be mugs, I would think the person doing marketing would be the only mug.

come to think of it, they kept the bbq a secret until the last minute, good way to keep the numbers down, don't tell anyone it's on .:sarcasm:

Knowing people who were involved in the Roosters in years gone by, I often attended post match functions at Roosters Leagues. The players would all be there, and usually the Coach and Captain would say a few words, then the game Ball would be awarded to a player, and he'd say a few words.
The players would then be free to mingle with fans, have 1 or 2 beers if they wanted then leave. As an outsider, I thought this was a great chance for the fans to at least congratulate or commiserate with the team, and to at least maintain that connection off the field.

seemed to work a treat from what I heard - the BBQ was overflowing. ;-)

We should be due for an after match function at Parra as well, either all or partial Eels players would be nice as well.
F*ck ANZ, sh*t hole of a place to get to and from easily. I prefer to just go home after being there. I'll be lucky to even make kick-off as it is.

I could be wrong but it seemed that from the very few times I've attended Red V functions that the South Coast based players or Illawarra juniors (Creagh, Cooper etc) would attend the WIN Stadium functions and the Saints juniors or purchases (Young, Gasnier, Ennis at the time etc) would do the Jubilee ones. It could work if they have half the roster do ANZ and the other half do the post match functions at Parra Leagues.
Pretty sure people would be happy to at least have a few players mingling than none at all! It does seem like a waste.

It would also be easier to manage numbers wise IMO.

If you're only having one or 2 events, EVERYONE will go. If you spread it out you probably get more managable (because ppl know if they cant make it there's always next game) numbers and hence more enjoyable events

 

[Hellsy]

Totally agree, and it could be mixed with the Toyota Cup kids and the injured/suspended top graders as well as a few guys who took the field.
