Members nites?

[wehavethepassion]

at the G on friday nite (being a Colon Wood home game) the pies were advertising the third in a series of members nites for around $45 for a three course meal and players to be in attendance at the lexus centre which i think can hold a large number of punters.

Why can't we do the same? great way to get the members and players together?

After the unbelievably shitty "after season" drinks last season i've sworn never to go to another fundraiser again.

Not sure it is a fundraiser for Colon Wood rather more a way for members to connect with team.

Same thing, just classier.

They would parade around a couple of fringe players (we got warnock and peake last year) and the rest will have ____ed off home.

Why pay 50 bucks for a wank fest when we used to be able to hang out with other supporters in a pub, and chat to some of the players? In the environment of an actual game.

Just another scheme from Schwab to rip off the long suffering supporters.

I'd rather just use that money to go out on my own after a win, thank you very much.

a little off topic here, but does anyone know why the Doig Room has closed?? i heard a rumour that the club was changing it to a team store...
was great to enjoy a GOOD beer at half time so close to where we sit so im crossing my fingers that they are only renovating it.

Didn't someone get on the slop and abuse Cuddles and they closed it?

I don't regret a moment of it!

Who cares what Flogging-wood do?

@ $45 a head, there wouldn't be a big enough venue here. It's pretty good value.

Where was that one?

I went to the Doig at the Convention Centre last year and it was one of the best nights out I've had in Perth. Very impressive function

Nah what happened was the players used to go down after the game and "mingle" then someone got into Cuddles ear and basically called him a ____wit. I think that was in 2005. From that point the players didn't do anything like that

The members room was open last year? I haven't check this year

Was in the members bar on the north side of the ground. Warnock, Peake and someone else showed up. No Cuddles.

i called the club and the Doig Room is being turned into a team store
bugger!

 

[Belnakor]

We did need a better team store, but not at the expense of the better booze room.

yeah it doesnt make sense.. i think they would make more money from selling alcohol
(do the clubs get the profit from the bars??)
im just hoping the new stadium has a few decent bars/club rooms like the G!

 

[Lach72]

Do they serve full strength booze at the G?

Been a few years since I've been

I just want it to be a house of pain.. to the opposition instead of us.

It was Rove's Dad (which also makes him a relative of a Freo player) after Sav Rocca kicked a bag opposed to Scott Thornton and we lost by a small margin. Don't think he abused him, just asked why the hell was Thornton left on Rocca and security kicked him out and the powers that be decided to stop the post match function.

Thats if the human race hasn't involved to beings of energy by the time the stadium is built.

Rove dad? gold.

Thornton being left on players who kicked bags cost us at least 4-5 games purely on the basis of that match up. At least one a season, sometimes two.

How hard is it to get the spelling right in thread titles?

how hard is it for you to live with night being spelt as nite?

 

[Borry]

Freo did do the three course meal lunches before three Sunday afternoon matches a few years back.

The club also did the member gathering thingo at SFFC before and after home games in 2004, where they went by bus to the game and went back to have drinks etc.

Musn't have been much of a success given both have been canned.

 

[Belnakor]

I'd say it was just too much work for the people behind the scenes. We're making money now but there are still a bunch of morons on the admin side.
