Shark Fans Travelling to Melbourne (Round 8)

[luke_melb]

Will there be any sharkies fans travelling to Olympic Park in Round 8. Please don't make me the loan sharkies fan. I live in Melbourne and can't wait for the game.

 

[perth sharkie]

Surely there will be a few Melbourne-based Sharks in addition to those travelling down there.

 

[Macca]

I did that a few years back when we lost at the MCG. Not a bad trip but I'll be on duty this year. Bloody too cold down there anyway.

 

[blacktip-reefy]

hey might just try & get to that one.

 

[White Poiner]

see you wont be alone good old reefy will be there. :thumnn

 

[blacktip-reefy]

watch it with the old bit poinner

There is usually about 2 or 3 that travel down from the Army, foz usually attends and mermaid came along last year too. We usually get tickets to about halfway on the eastern side opposite the tunnel. It's a great laugh geeing up the storm fans and supporting the boys.

Do we know what day it is? AFL fans know prior to the season what day to travel but we mere NRL fans are kept in the dark as usual to appease channel nine. How the hell do you plan a trip to places like Melbourne without getting ripped off?

According to the NRL site the game day has not been appointed so if I want to book well ahead and get a good deal I will have to wait until someone decides what day it's on. Check out the draw:

I've done the Melbourne game a couple of times. With the cheap flight deals that are available Syd-Mel these days, it's pretty easy to do.

Since I'm going to Perth though, Melbourne might be off the agenda this year...

Apparently the Logies are on that weekend so anyone that plans on going had better checkout the accomodation situation. Even though I had a great time last year, I won't be going this to Melbourne this year but will be going to the Canberra game.

Sorry double post

Same same. I can afford it but my Mrs likes holidays that don't involve the NRL draw aswell so no Melbourne.

I have seen footy (NRL) at Olympic Park, The MCG and The Teltsra Dome down there though. So they are all ticked off.

I hope we get a game at Erricson next year cause I haven't seen footy in NZ yet.

How bout Brissy and Townsville Macca

 

[Shark]

Ssshhhhhh Uncle, he was taking his old man away to visit long lost relos, there was NO footy.... ;-)

 

[Alan Shore]

As a local I will be there as I have been every year from 2000 onwards.

There are always a group of Sharkies in the Eastern Stand (the one the TV sees), and last year I had alot of fun yelling out "Kimmorley is King" whenever he got the ball to coincide with the Bronx Cheer they would give him, even post-match when we won for the first time since 1999 last year I was grandstanding about that, best way to rile them all up.

Hope we have another good contingent this year.

 

[Macca]

:lol: Townsville might not happen due to work but Brissy I will make happen. Everyone should be there for the joy of meeting you Qld Sharks.

And the piss up at the Caxton before the game.
Hope its a sunday game again.

I guarantee a good night at Olympic. Also had a few good ones at ericcson Macca, it's a blinder of a trip and an awesome, if a little intimidating ground to watch footy at. The lack of wins we have shared there the past few years makes the wins even more enjoyable, I still remember vividly the pouring rain ( it always does) as Mitch knocked one over from the sideline to win there about 5 years ago !

Come on Mermaid, make the trip again this year, the cold beers at the pub opposite flinders street station, the walk across fed square, giving Molly Meldrum shit about following the storm, the nice walk down the river bank to Olympic and the half empty stand where every bit of support is heard by the sharky players.Last year Simmons of all people stood up two defenders to score a 40 metre effort and loved every minute of our cheering.

If you cannot make Melbourne, make townsville or brissy, the think you've met some good people in your life, the bunch of core supporters from QLD who follow the sharks and who take time out to come to a game are f**king incredible, better people you won't meet in a lifetime and oh how we danced last year when our boys gave the fancied broncos a touch up at ANZ. and oh how the secrurity tossers backed down when they realised we were serious when we said that there ain't no law against cheering for your side, no matter what the strung up prick bronco season seat holders behind us said thought !

 

[imasharkie]

What about the kaoraki, you forgot to mention it.
Beeker singing ahhh what was it, yes Queen
"crazy little thing called love"

and Beeker and Pierre classic rendition of
" jake the peg"

Bring on the Brissy game
and bring back the memories

 

[Mr Sharkie]

I am hoping to go to traditional graveyard Bruce Stadium to see us get the monkey off the back but the way you guys are talking it sounds like Melbourne is the go! Will have to check the prices, (and hope my bloody bonus gets paid on time!)
