Here's a vitally important question: Do we have a scorboard yet? Or are we relying on the big screen coverage for scores again?

The last time I was at the stadium was something like '94/'95 I think. It was a Knights/Manly game and just watching the Harragon/Carroll match-up was awesome. The crowd was so alive. I've heard that it's being lacking that intensity for a while but I haven't been there to witness it myself. Here's hoping my return to the ground marks a return to "audience participation" so to speak.
Here's a question to Roopy or anyone else that's watched a lot of lower grade Knights over the years. I remember the day I was at the Knights/Manly game, in Reserve Grade (I think) was a player I knew well from my younger days of Little Athletics - Chad Stephenson. He must have been playing in the centres or on the wing because he was tall and he could run fast. I remember racing against him in the country champs 100m and the best I could manage was about a 12.1, and he must have run close to a sub 11sec, all this at about the age of 14/15. Anyway, I didn't even know he was playing with the Knights so it was a shock to see him on the field. I never did get to a lower grade Knights game for a while after that and I never saw him again. He didn't look like he did much on the day, he only seemed to be there for his speed - kinda like a Shane Whereat. Does anyone remember him and know where he went from there?

but the 12 hours is the two trips up there, it takes about 3- 3 and a half hours to get to newcaslte from down where i live so its not that far, im pretty used to driving there now as i make sure i get to a few home games every year ;-)
