Please vote on where you want the pre-game get together to be.
Then...
Write a post in this thread to let me know you're coming.
And I...
Will message everyone the confirmed venue next Monday
If you're not coming please dont vote on this poll.
The Details:
Date: Saturday 31st May
Game: Collingwood V West Coast
Time: 11:30 (ish)
Kick off: 14:10
Game venue: MCG
RSVP By Posting: Monday 26th May
Hopefully we can work out the finer points in this thread. Also the idea behind me emailing you the details is so we dont get gate crashed, however unlikely that may be at a secured venue. Please RSVP by next Monday so I can book some tables. Feel free to bring a friend or two, but please let me know so I can count them in for any bookings.
Ta! :)
Cant we just sit in a park drinking goon?
$7-$8 pints these days are just not worth it
But I think transport would be the best

Well I have a Gooon, a wagooon that is and being WCE the car park would not be packed. Only problem would be the are we allowed to drink in Yarra Park?

I'm sure if we had a BBQ going we would be allowed to have a drink or 2. As long as we act mature and responsibly. Hmm...that counts me out

Okay I've called the Lexus and they've told me they don't book tables. So that we can find each other Opti has offered to wear a pink spandex jump suit... whats that?... you havent? *sigh*
Okay, to find the group please announce yourself at the bar as the one of the big footy group and we'll get them to point the way.
If you're the first one there, please grab a table and let the bar staff know where you're sitting.
So
I'll be there from 12:00 and will head to the ground about 13:30.
If you're not sure of where the lexus centre is its @
The cnr Olympic Blvd & Batman Ave, Olympic Park, Melbourne. Its a short walk from fed square and richmond station.
I hope that covers everything.
See you all then.
Go Pies!

I dotn think ill make the lexus centre as i finish work at 12 now, but i will be at the game so if you guye let me know where you are sitting i will come an visit qtr or half time what ever.
It could be worse it took some begging but i got out of the arvo shift
Sorry I couldn't make it, how did it go?
Hi Tess
Wasn't the most successful turn out with just myself, Pongo and one of his mates however it was still a great day.
I got down there at 12 and incidently bumped into Chris Dawes who is a massive bloke. We had a few beers before getting to the game about 10 mins before the first bounce. Optimax came up to say hello but he was sitting with his family on the bottom deck of the Olympic while we were up high.
All in all it was good to put some faces to people who post on here and obviously a great game (with beers)!!! I think we will definitely try it again. Next time though we will have to organise some repercussions for no shows such as permanent red cards or something lol!
