Hi all,
Some on here may have been aware of Rabbit's situation. Some may not. I will let him explain it to you if he feels comfortable enough. He & his family also wanted to share some stories with you about his time being a St.Kilda supporter.
I had mentioned a few weeks ago that I was working with the club to try and put this all together for one of our own here on BigFooty & that sharing this experience with the rest of us is something that Rabbit was happy to do as well. In a year of disappointments & frustration, this surely will give everyone a much needed boost I reckon!
A bit of backstory:
I received a PM from gringo2011 about 6 weeks ago. Gringo let me in on the situation & with my contacts at the club, Gringo was hoping that I could speak with the club to see if there's anything we could do for a fellow Sainter.
After speaking with Gringo I let him know that I would be more than happy to help out...almost felt obliged to in the end given the circumstances, & then got in touch with Rabbit soon after to get his thoughts.
So we got talking through PM about what this experience would look like. I grabbed some details off of Rabbit & spoke with the club directly.
Despite what's happened this year, you cannot fault the club's commitment to it's members & supporters, & after telling them of Rabbit's situation they were more than happy to help us out.
SO WHAT IS HAPPENING IS...
Along with a personalised video message from Tom Hickey (Rabbit if you are OK with it I can post it here), Rabbit will receive half a dozen medallion club tickets for himself & his family to attend our final home game of the season vs North Melbourne next Sunday afternoon, along with change-room, post game access to meet the players.
Wanted to give a BIG thank you to Matt Finnis, his assistant Kerry & Tom Hickey for their support here - would not have been possible without them.
So proud of the way they've been able to facilitate this for a long time Saints fan.
Enjoy the day Rabbit & report back with pictures, stories & updates for us!
If you all would like to leave messages of support feel free to do so here.
All the best mate
