SPECIAL OFFER FOR SATURDAY NIGHT'S CLASH
16 July 2008
The Mitsubishi Electric Bulldogs will throw open the gates to anyone with a New Zealand, Samoan, Tongan or Fijian passport by offering them free entry to Saturday nights 7.30pm clash with the New Zealand Warriors at ANZ Stadium.
The initiative has been prompted by discussions between Chief Executive Officer Mr Todd Greenberg with star second rower Sonny Bill Williams who expressed a desire to see the Club join him in becoming a leader in its relations of people from New Zealand, Samoan, Tongan or Fijian back grounds.
As most people are aware Sonny Bill has some strong thoughts on the need to look at fresh ways to recognise the involvement of the various communities in our game and on Saturday night well be starting that process, Mr Greenberg said.
Our match against the New Zealand Warriors seems the right time to take this first small step and celebrate the important role played by Pacific Island and Maori players and their families in our Club across all levels.
Well be offering free entry to anyone who arrives at our game with a New Zealand, Samoan, Tongan or Fijian passport in hand and we think theyll have a great night.
Williams says he expects plenty of people from those communities to make the most of the opportunity.
Its a terrific thing for the Club to do and I know it will be appreciated by so many people, Williams said.
Going to the footy is a great night out for the family and Id like to encourage as many people as possible to take up the offer.
Passports will need to be shown at Gate B of ANZ Stadium for entry.
