OOPS, wrong mongrel, take two, Andrew ****ing Peackock, they all look the same to me.

Don't forget that Peter Costello is a fanatical Essendon fan.

I console myself with the thought that so is Joan Kirner.

And you should sleep extra well with the knowledge that it's not Joan Kirner who is running Essendon.

Ports was Fos Williams. Altho, obviously not anymore. I dunno who the new no.1 ticket holder is

And would that be because Joan makes you look half decent ?

As for the Saints and Elle - you were embarrased?

Embarrassed probably wasn't the right word to use. It was just a cheap publicity stunt that did nothing for the club but further highlight the party atmosphere of the club at the time. I have nothing at all against Elle, she's a great.......errrr......ambassador for Western Australia.

C'mon this is the Saints! Of course they were embarrased, Elle wansnt blond enough for them! If it had been Claudia Schiffer maybe that would have been okay!

Better answer!

BTW,has Molly Meldrum ever been number 1 ticketholder at Stkilda ? If not,he should be.He's always plugging the club in interviews.

At least Daryl has always barracked for Geelong,unlike Flick Kennett [remember her ?].

Not sure if he's ever been our number 1 ticketholder but he just received life membership of the footy club at the AGM in December. You've mentioned Ivy Moyle from time to time, you'll be pleased she received life membership as well - for defending St Kilda on talkback radio no doubt.

Our number 1 ticketholder is John Moran I think.

Back in the early 90s when her star was on the rise, Bronwyn Bishop tried to get the Roos #1 ticket. Thankfully, North told her to get stuffed.

The current #1 ticket holders for the Roos are Simon Crean and Singrid Thornton.

How bloody embarassing are those two ****ers??????

True Mark,

Tommy Sherrin was one of the most underrated figures in Collingwoods history. It has been something of a tradition that a presidents relations get the high tickets at Collingwood.

119 here.

He was alos the president who held the Pies back in the 60s when they should have been more progressive.

I was the number 1 member for Port in 1997.

Victorian based Member that is !!!!


The missus bought me a membership and happened (without knowing it) to be there on the 1st morning of the 1st day of sales. Sure enough my ticket arrived number 00001.

A tad optimistic having 5 digits for Victorian Members I feel !

anyway.....


oh and btw....I post this as a useless piece of trivia....not in anyway trying to demonstrate my extensive network at the club, or the fact that my grandfather once poured a beer for Russell Ebert.

Fair call but that wasn't his wife's fault. I am happy to look after our own, even if some of the best intentions may sometimes be misguided in application.

Mind you, Sainter, I'd take Elle!

and ive got Irenes numbe rone season ticket in my collection, she was picked to take on the AFL as they needed someone with no assets in case they lost the case and costs were awarded against her, sorry to spoil the fairy tale

 

[Docker_Brat]

How fat is Daryl Somers these days? He's managed to out do Eddie.

Although.. he did look like more of a player than most on the Geelong list.

OK, here is my embarrasing No 1 ticket holder: at Sturt we had Malcolm Fraser for a time. Very embarrasing.

And I once had a beer poured FOR ME by Greg Phillips. No great achievement, given that Greg was the owner of the pub

But I have to concede, you've outdone me with your ticket number. I'm only 6757 at Collingwood ... a bit of a Johnny-come-lately ...

... but I'm working on it.

 

[Satay Mat]

must have been some tussle to wrench it from his clasp then Alf !!??

Satay

As long as John Farnham is not our Number 1 ticket holder, I'll be happy.

If he ever does I'll consider becoming a Carlton Supporter... or I'll hang myself.

Lets hope North announce Farnsie as #1 ticketholder next week.

Freo had Luc Longley for a time. Not embarassing at all!

In fact, our ex No.1 ticket holder could beat up all your pathetic ex No.1 ticket holders - so there!

Was Carmen Lawrence ever #1 ticketholder at Freo ?

errr, ummm, well if she was I have successfully repressed the memory of it.

Anyway, Carmine would be pretty handy in a stoush too. She's a stayer!

 

[Yianni]

Maybe the Number 1 ticketholder should be the person who has been a member for the longest.

That way, it could reward a lifetime commitment and support of the club, rather than some unrelated celebrity.

Just an idea!

 

[Collo]

Ernie Dingo was #1 member at West Coast at a time in the 90's...

I don't think they come any worse than that.

 

[GoEagles]

Collo - why was Ernie Dingo bad? He's a WA boy, loves his footy and I believe is related to Chris Lewis. I can think of far worse people to be our #1 Ticket Holder.

I agree, Ernie is a top bloke, he has played footy, loves footy & is Lewis' cousin, I hope the reason you think he was an unfit No. 1 ticket holder isn't because of his race.

I am sure it is for his stupid name......it should have been George!
