Shame on you Roosters

[Tom Shines]

Geez, Wheelsy. You must've been the only Bunnies fan in existence not at the game tonight. Looked like a big turnout from Chooks fans too (won't stop the idiots from b!tching however).

In my defense, I did finish work at 5:00, thus not allowing me to attend the game. And really after that performance, I'm glad I didn't go.
It's alright, we'll win our next four now...

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

lucky you, the bitch hates me... wheres the gold works for me.

where's the gold is the only machine in the club that is guarenteed occupied when i walk in

they had an old school one similiar to where's the gold that pays out like you wouldn't believe then they got rid of it for another sh*tty mr cashman

haha turn this into the official poker machine thread :crazy:

 

[Tom Shines]

And of course as a Souths fan, by "work" I meant playing the choppers.

Mate, you don't have to defend yourself. I was actually commenting on how good the turnout was - for both sides. I'd been planning on going to this game since Round 1, but the unexpected $400 emergency plumbing bill mid-week really hit the finances bad at the wrong time, and after reviewing the bank account this morning, I decided I really shouldn't be blowing my grocery money at the footy.

It's a shame. Was proud of the boys to get up, despite the efforts of the ref.

I've got a question for you, Ink - did the Tigers play any Monday night footy this year? Don't stress yourself, I'll answer it for you. I believe the Tigers played two home games and one away on a Monday night. Now given this, how come the following has been on the Balmain Leagues Club website all season:

Get to TIGERS every Monday the only place to watch Monday Night Footy.
Enjoy Members Special prices on Cascade Light
- Schooners for only $2.20 -
and from 6.30pm every Monday night review the round, have some fun with mates and win prizes with Steve ‘Blocker’ Roach and Andrew Moore’s Monday Night Jibber

Now, if I read that with the same bias that you have interpreted the Easts Leagues Club info, then I can determine that they are telling me that, even if the Tigers are playing a home game on a Monday night, the "only place to watch Monday Night Footy" is at the Tigers Leagues Club. What's the f^cking difference? I'll be interested to hear your spin on this.

LOL...Balmain Leagues struggles for every cent it gets.

The PL team is merged. BRET/Balmain promote Balmain mainly...Wests Tigers promote Wests Tigers. Quite simple really.

Wests Tigers on the other hand promoted their home Mon nite games this year, didnt bother too much with the interstate one, they rarely do.

WESTS TIGERS KEEN TO RE-WRITE HISTORY AGAINST EELS By Wayne Cousins
Wests Tigers Media Officer

Wests Tigers will be looking to re-write the history books against Parramatta Eels at Telstra Stadium on Monday, June 4.

The two clubs have clashed 15 times with Parramatta holding a 10-4 win record. One match was drawn.

At Telstra Stadium, Parramatta holds a 3-0 win record.

Re-writing chapters is not new to the Wests Tigers after overcoming history to win in Auckland and Penrith in the past fortnight.

Earlier this season, Wests Tigers lost 22-20 to Parramatta in golden point in a game they were unlucky not to win.

A big crowd is expected at Telstra Stadiumwith Wests Tigers hoping to break the Monday Night Football crowd record for 2007 of 24,127, set in round one for the clash between the Roosters and the Rabbitohs......etc etc

Next...

Nice of you to put a Benji side-step on it.

The Balmain Leagues Club stated that the club was the "only place" to watch Monday night footy, not at the ground or anywhere else, and this was for home games. The point you were contesting was that Easts Leagues Club was advertising the same for this away game. So, Balmain Leagues are allowed to try and get customers in the door, even if it means taking them away from the ground at a home game, but Easts Leagues have absolutely no right to try and get their own customers in to watch an away game?

If you're happy with that double standard, then I'll leave this debate alone, but surely even you can see the issue I have with your bitching and moaning on this one.

 

[innsaneink]

Balmain is not Wests Tigers

No difference to West Ryde Bowling club doing the same.


Two completely different entities.

I just showed you WTs promoting their Mon games....show me the Roosters advising where and when to buy tix, to get there early...etc etc.

Yes, announce your departure....code for "I'm outta here= I got nothin"

Dude, the first part of that page is the same every week. It's the second part (the part you are referring to) that changes each week due to the game being different every week - surely you can work that out...

 

[innsaneink]

Still waiting....

Ive shown you Wests Tigers promos for our Mon niters.

Yes, and the Kro Bar is at Easts Leagues Club, not at the SFS. You may think this is completely different, but let's break it down to it's simplest form:

- Balmain Leagues Club (yes, I know it's not Wests Tigers) have advertised to get people into the club to watch footy (btw, don't get hung up on the Monday night thing - I was only using that as an example).

- Eastern Suburbs Leagues Club (also, not Sydney Roosters) have advertised to get people into the club to watch footy.

Looks very much the same to me. The only difference I see is that the advertising was done via the Roosters website, but it's still just an ad to get people through the door.

Now, the examples you showed of WTs promoting their games was of home games, but I did see examples of promotion for away games also - to their credit. If you really want examples of similar Roosters promotion (I would have thought you'd have this in your Roosters fan mail archives):

Roosters v Cowboys – this Saturday night
Tuesday, June 5, 2007


The Roosters take on the Cowboys this Saturday night at Aussie Stadium.

In the absence of Origin stars Minichiello, Anasta and Myles, the Roosters will be fielding a team of young guns mixed in with the experience of Craig Fitzgibbon, Craig Wing, Danny Nutley and Joel Monaghan.

20 year old Danny Williams will be making his NRL debut, alongside other Roosters young guns Mitch Pearce, Mitchell Aubusson, Shaun Kenny-Dowall and Setaimata Sa.

With the Cowboys struggling to score points without their superstar half back and QLD representative player, Thurston, this is a game where the Roosters young guns can stamp their intentions with a strong performance.

Below is all the information you need to get to the game:

TICKETS

Sydney Gameday is the cheapest place in Sydney to buy your tickets with no Ticketek booking fees charged. Located in Bondi Junction Mall, Sydney Gameday is open from 10am to 5pm.

Alternatively, tickets can be purchased online from Ticketek by clicking here.

TRANSPORT

Easts Leagues Club will run the Jim Beam Express free shuttle bus to Aussie Stadium every half an hour from 5.15pm until kick off. Buses will then transport supporters back to the club at the conclusion of the game.

Eastgate Shopping Centre’s Carpark will be open for fans to gain cheap parking and take advantage of the free bus shuttle service to and from the game.

I still don't really understand your gripe. Heaven forbid our Leagues Club would want to take advantage of a rugby league game to bring revenue into the club.

Sorry to make you wait so long. Obviously I don't spend enough time during the season bookmarking all my links to use in forum debates at a later date.

family day was great if only we had more sunday arvo games

LOL...you look like you do OK

Nah. As the saying goes - Google is my friend.

So are my examples satisfactory? Can we put an end to the argument that the Roosters do nothing to promote attendance to games?

 

[Fairfax]

Besides, i've taken my family to Easts v Souths games and the drunken toothless rabble are foul mouthed and violent. To see what these people have been saying in response to Fa'alogo's king hit is typical. The bloke gets binned and the give him a standing ovation... Why would you want your family exposed to that sort of nonsense?

 

[Southernsaint]

Why should Easts promote an opposing team's home game for no monetary reward of their own??

You're clutching at straws...
