I'm surprised you can hear them from that far away.
I know bongo's are loud, but fair dinkum, that's stretching it a bit I'd say.

And it would be an event in Hay, hey?;-)

 

[Parra Guru]

Did anyone have bongo drums at the game on Friday? Couldn't hear any...

The BGA section seemed very quiet, however it will improve I reckon

Yep...Even better than watching the bowsers click up when a big Transport is filling up.....
That attracts a huge crowd - usually on Friday nights.....

Among other things in an email from the club:

There has been a change in the procedures for displaying your Membership Card for 2010. It is now required that Members present their Membership Card when reentering their seating area. Parramatta Eels recommends hole-punching your Membership Card and displaying it with your 2010 Member lanyard. This is to ensure that the only legitimate patrons enter each area.

 

[Hellsy]

Oh what F*CKING BULLSH*T.
I thought these new people were meant to make our lives easier and more enjoyable when going to the footy.
Kiss my arse Stadium.

 

[MarkInTheStands]

ahhhh Hellsy,

Don't hold back, Tell us what you really think.

 

[Hellsy]

Seriously. Is anyone happy with this bullsh*t new rule?
Faaaarrrrrrrkkkkkkkkkk me.

And by the way, thanks for letting us know before Round 1....... maybe lots of people complained this week and they remembered they hadn't actually told us.

 

[MarkInTheStands]

If only other ushers were then at the top of the stairs to actually direct people to there seats.

I can see the benefits of directing those from Bay 28 down to walk around to the other set of stairs or from bay 23 up to the first set of stairs but enforcing it with double ticket checks is a bit rich and has the potential to cause blockages in the main thoroughfares

 

[Hellsy]

It doesn't make sense does it??????
The woman checked us at the bottom of the stairs, but once I am at the top I could sit wherever the f*ck I like.

This is close on the dumbest and moronic move I have seen the *new board make (*if it is the board decision that is)

 

[MarkInTheStands]

Either way who ever made the decision, the club must have know about it and known about it from a long way out because even in the September advertising of the Memberships the Lanyard is mentioned.

Yet we have to wait till a few days before game two to find out why.

When the packs came in to the BGA store, it was pointed out to me that no card holders were added to the packs and the cards didn't come with holes.

going by last week they have taken this into consideration and have slowed beverage sales to one every 5 mins to allow for tickets to be checked on the way back to your seat. They can not sell the next beer until the previous customer is in their seat. :sarcasm:

if anyone would like any plastic card sleaves, let me know, I can get 1000's of them.

 

[Hellsy]

Same goes for their food service bae, "we'll put a basket of hot chips down for every 5 people that sit in their seats" seems to be the theory

 

[Parra Steve]

Wasnt paying too much attention on friday, Am i right in saying that the staff at the top of the stairs have now been relocated to the bottom? or do we still have someone at the top of the stairs?

 

[bartman]

That's right Steve, relocated to the bottom, and checking every ticket, every time (including toilet, food, bar) someone goes up the stairs.

And yet there is no-one at the top of the stairs to guide people to their correct seats, or ensure people are sitting in their correct bays etc. :roll:.

I really can't see the point of it in the stand areas - once you get in the gate with your ticket, you're a paying customer. These attendants should be at the top of the stairs to assist and settle and seating disputes, rather than at the bottom acting like a second turnstyle...

if it ain't broke, don't fix it. In my opinion as a member, our Board should use all its avenues to get this ridiculous rule changed/fixed - whether it was one of their own doing, or whether it is one that they (by their email) seem to be endorsing.

Oh and Mickdo... you can't post from club emails this year [-X :lol:
