Hindy and Burts last game.

[forward pass]

The crowd (Eels section anyway) was awesome, apart from a few sooks who left with ten minutes to go. I really can't understand that, Hindy and Burt's last ten minutes in the NRL and you leave because we are losing.

They dont leave because they are losing - they leave because it can be a nightmare to get out of that joint. I don't get it either - but you wouldn't turn up in the first place if you were worried about losing.

This!

i have no idea - but i find that exceptionally hard to believe ... i realise there is an actual rebel store on the eastern side, but on the west there were 2 stalls that are effectively just little simple sheds and they very much appear to have parra staff ..... perhaps you have to pay rebel to get the stall, but i find it hard to believe rebel run them

Yeah they have merch rights for the stadium that is why club vans are parked outside.

If you buy something there on Credit card it comes up as Rebel Sport.

I think it only happened like 2 years ago, before that all those sheds were run by Playbill.

Getting out of the stadium is easy, getting out of P1 that is a little harder, because without fail some special case goes back to his car and gets to the gates before realizing he hasn't paid, then all hell breaks loose.

That is why I love being a member of the stadium, I can go back to the members lounge, sit down have a drink, talk about the game with friends, and then when I get to P1, I can almost always drive out with no issue.

P3,4 and 5 is also a nightmare - walk out of the stadium , wait and line up for a bus to ur carpark, get on, get off, pay for parking then line up to get out of the car park. The place is a f**king nightmare

Happy to say it. 'Lay Down' Sowie is by far the biggest sook in the NRL. With Billy Slater still here that says a lot. Dragons fans must love a bloke who turns up to play in the last game if the season.

Yeah , he was hiding on the wing in defence as usual when he took that tap in from Burt for the intercept try . Our boys really downed tools after that one.

I doubt that. As I said before, would those same people have left if we were winning or the game was in the balance? If so, I understand. But somehow I don't think they would have.

I parked in P3, stayed for the on field presentation, walked to P3 and drove out without issue. It was a ghost town at 9:05.

Why the hell would you line up to pay? Pre-pay at that place, it might cost you $4 more but it is worth it to walk straight to the car.

Was P4 and P3 in use on Sunday? I pre-book parking at P1 so I don't know. Had to park at P4 Saturday night for the Dogs game, because of a concert on a Allphones, the Giants at the showgrounds, and roller derby at the State Sports Centre. . . .but Olympic Park is a white elephant.

Yeah I purchase P1 parking at Ticketek Westfields in the city. Cost is about $20 and you can buy the parking ticket weeks ahead if need be.

went to buy the stubbie holders at the bga shop on friday and none were available due to a shipment not arriving maybe this had something to do with the lack of shirts there

Better planning needed then. There's no point in the shirts arriving now, they'll just end up having to sell them off for half price.

Which is the price they should have been charging in the first place.

Yeh I parked in p4. Not a bad lineup to get out or pay after the match as everyone prepaid before

I think it all depends?

Bentley needed to borrow $5k from Poore to get the shipment over here, but apparently Ozzie still hasn't paid him back?

[bartman]

I wonder what they're going to do with the spare Hindy arses? I only saw one being worn/waved in the bay I was in...

Maybe some will be included in next season's ticketed members free merchandise :sarcasm:?

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Hopefully someone gave one to Kearney.
