family day?

[iron mike]

hi there

can anyone confirm if there is a family day on at arden street tonight?

i cant believe the lack of publicity!

your help is muc appreciated.

 

[Malibu]

Certainly is Iron Mike.

The boys are training first, probably as I write this post and the family day goes from 4:30pm to 7:30pm.

 

[iron mike]

thanks malibu

but i cant believe the lack of publicity

our club definitely needs some lessons on promoting events!

do you think many people will go malibu?

 

[Gonzo]

I'll be there!!

Leaving work at about 4.30 - be there about 5.00!!!

Keep an eye out for a guy with a 99 Premiers polo top, fawn pants and a goatee - come and say hi!!

Cheers

Gonzo

 

[Malibu]

Yep, I'll be there at about 4:30. I think they'll get a quarter of what they get from when they used to hold it on a Sunday.

I don't know how many that equates to though, I'm guessing 1000 people would be an inflated figure.

I agree about the lack of publicity, I had a grumble about it on the official Roos forum in hope that someone from the club will read it.

 

[iron mike]

with the BEWARE campaign

and a need to attract new members,

we dont seem to be doing much to attract crowds.

who do they think we are? the bombers?

we dont have a guaranteed 30000 members like they do!

if this is the way the sydney thing was run, no wonder it failed!

 

[Malibu]

Spidey,

I looked for the footy **** blonde hair after the jumper presentation but couldn't find you. I had the photos for ya too!

Ricky was standing behind us in the group photo and offered to put 35eye up on his shoulders.

Fearing for her life, 35eye politely declined.

 

[Spidergirl~RiCkChiCk]

ahhh damn i woulda killed youz hahaha!
yeh we left after we got a photo of Ricky being presented on stage.
Did youz see all the new photos i got mine signed by Ricky!
Was a fukin better family day than the

I'm still getting over that one. Luckily Ricky found a child to hold up after I rejected his kind offer.

Just a case of the wrong blonde in the right place at the right time, I suppose.

Where exactly were you btw?

I would have happily stepped aside for you to jump on Ricky.

 

[Spidergirl~RiCkChiCk]

aww lol very kind of u!

um well we were up the bak hopefully not in the photo coz i dont think its wise for me to be seen in the media again with yet another team! I was holding bak my mate from ripping shannons shorts off lol! ay how typical was it of Calthorpe not to be up there hahhahha!

Did you see the picture of Ricky in the Herald Sun on Saturday? Trying to drum up more support for the club.

[The invisible mullet]

Sounds like it was a great day - the newspaper said there were 7500 people there.

 

[Gonzo]

One paper said 7500 and the other said 2000

My guess was that it was somewhere in between!

Keka did a great job as MC, Denis and Andrew Carter spoke well, kudos to all those who forked out for the signed t shirts (I was standing next to a guy that bought 2!) Duck's went for $750 BTW
Good to see Tim Rogers wandering about as well - putting his money where his mouth is!

One last thing I woke this morning to reports that a couple of North guys had bought back the shares from Carlton - just a pity it wasn't released to the crowd last night as it would have got a huge reaction!!!

Cheers

7500... on a monday afternoon and no publicity...

Shite imagine if they had of promoted it better and had it on a Saturday afternoon... someone would have died in the crush... Iron Mike wake up to yourself... if you are a member you would have been advised a couple of weeks ago...

Hey, Gonzo, I was standing right in front of that guy with the big MO too! I was with 3 other girlies.

I turned around at looked at the MO guy when they were auctioning Duck's t-shirt, hoping that he'd put in a $1000 bid.

Mal - you had a prime possy when the guys came up into the crowd then!

PS he wasn't happy when he thought he had to pay $250 rather than $200 eh?

Cheers

Gonzo

 

[Malibu]

Yeah, I was stepping on Simmo's toes, I had Bomber Hilton on one side and Boomer on the other and I think the other 2 Corey's were near me too.

Yeah, that guy kept on saying "I said $200, I said $200 !" hehehehe

hey rooboy

of course i am a member.

i have been so for many years.

but i work too.

and if i had been given notice even on the frontpage of this website, i could have arranged for some time off.

but i am rapt so many fans showed up. i am also rapt that someone reported the club is approaching 20000 members!

 

[Rooboy 96]

So didn't you get a notice about two weeks ago??? I did...

 

[Redd]

No notice here either Rooboy, only from you guys on this board.
I think the 2000 figure was more realistic, after all the grounds not that big

 

[Spidergirl~RiCkChiCk]

aw my god yes 'back seat of a taxi' u mean that spunky one from near the back page ahh its already up on the wall mate

I turned around at looked at the MO guy (Woodson) when they were auctioning Duck's
t-shirt, hoping that he'd put in a $1000 bid.

....can't trust Keka, he stung me twice !!
Nevermind, I have one to be framed with most of the senior squad's autograph's minus Jess Sinclair, Petrie, Pratt and Simmo (doh !!)
while the other has front & back autographs
which will be handy when I wash my car.
