Farewell Parramatta Stadium - thanks for the memories..........

[forward pass]

With 10 to go I honestly thought we were going to win by the exact same margin as the first game there. Did the commentators mention that?

f**king Saints ruined it by scoring that try to make it 30-12. No sense of nostalgia those red and white bastards !

 

[strider]

Even the bunker could have come to the party and given the semi knock on try ... then just given the ball to kenny to kramp it up the last 8 minutes .... boooooo!

 

[forward pass]

I am going to put French's try from the Taka kick into my Parramatta Stadium memory basket !!!

Great thread. What it doesn't say mammaries ? Oh well, too late now.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

I like to give people the benefit of the doubt but I don't believe you ever thought it said mammaries.

This could well have been at Leichhardt Oval (folowing the 1986 mid-week Panasonic Cup Final), but since this thread is memory lane...

No idea why it came up in a google search for "parramatta eels cheerleaders"...

That's funny. I don't even remember us winning the Melbourne Cup.

That photo reminds me of heritage round a few weeks ago. They showed 80's footage of Graeme Hughes shampooing his hair in the shower and a journo shoving a microphone in his face.

IIRC ET sued a media organization because they inadvertently published him in the showers showing his wang.

No wonder we have post match pressers these days.

Yeah, ET successfully sued them for $200K.

$100K per inch.

Which he in turn gave to Paul Mellors wife.

Blokes with boats always get plenty of roots.

So just got a card/letter from the Eels thanking me for my membership and to make sure i don't miss the last ever home game at Parra stadium.
On top of that is says that the first 10,000 in get a limited edition pennant flag. I call bullshit on that as i got there an hour before kickoff and they had already stopped handing them out

I got a 7 metre boat, not that that implies anything

 

[Gary Gutful]

I've seen it Twiz. It's not 7m.

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

I have some awesome pics of the stadium. I'll post some when i get a chance.

That's just not true, Gary.

I bought a yacht around Christmas time cos I fell in love with the idea of bobbing gently on the harbour while enjoying a beer. I figured I'd learn how to sail by watching the America's Cup and some YouTube. To date I've had about three beers on it and surprisingly I still don't know how to sail. Great investment. I hope it's still afloat.

You're supposed to tie it off somewhere when you're not using it. That way you can find it again next time.
