Thursday night.

[middy]

Good old CC, gee they were some dark days. Let's hope we get a few of the well off businessmen on the sauce and have them outbidding each other!

Also noticed that the actual stig put on twitter that the videos for the night are hilarious and that Cotch puts in quite the performance.

Pretty sure for the general public to get an invite, you had to have made a minimum donation of $5000. Hence, Eddie McGuire and Mick Molloy will both have gotten an invite. Guessing a few will have donated the minimum and will hopefully donate more on the night.

Also, just received a "Certificate of Appreciation" from the FTF in the mail for my donation haha. Think I would've preferred the RFC didn't spend 4% of my donation mailing out a thank you back to me (yes, obviously it was either a ridiculously expensive letter or a rather pitiful donation)

Shit, now I have to hide the letter when it arrives cos my fiancee will kill me!

Good luck tonight, don't forget to keep topping up the glasses of those with the deepest pockets

 

[Groupie_]

Anyone from the forum going?

 

[smasha]

No.


Kate Cebrano is singing there tonight.

Would be an awesome night.

 

[peejay]

No.

Maybe she could get Travolta to chip in some dough.

He could become our celebrity USA ambassador.

We could re name the punt road oval - the scientology centre..... if the price was right.

Seriously i wonder if we get enough money for the billboards on the punt road brunton ave corner - must be close to the highest visability corner in Melb.

 

[telsor]

Are you meant to have an invite?
If you are call the club and they will email it to you

No...While I like to think I have and will continue to do my part, I'm not quite in that league as far as $$$ go.

WE need a big post atop Punt Road with a lit up animated Tiger roaring like the Skipping Girl Vinegar sign so people can see it all down Punt Road.

 

[Tigerland]

I'm hoping madtiger does a graph breaking down where the money comes from

Also remember Eddie McGuire saying he has a mate from Sydney coming down who is a very successful businessman and would be spending up quite big on the night.
Hopefully Clinton Casey makes a sizable contribution to help make up for the mistakes he made considering the man has more money then he can actually spend.

Not really a businessman but isn't Russel Crowe a Tiger fan.
I know he's mad on his South Sydney NRL that he pours money into. Maybe he could share the love with a differenet code.

 

[Groupie_]

Russel Crowe isnt even a member.

How about Steve Price or Livinia lol

Jeez I wish Crazy John Ilhan was still alive!

 

[Danog]

Somebody on 3AW apparently just said somebody had donated $1.5 million!

 

[Heisenberg_]

That is great news if true, look at it this way the dogs have a fund to knock off a $5 million debt and are aiming to raise 1 million this year for it.
If this is true we could see a domino effect happen and get the 6 million easy maybe even more.

 

[Rustof]

Have we said how much we aim to raise this year? If all 200 guests come tonight and donate the min $3000 that people are saying, though i'm sure plenty will chip in an extra 2k+ for the jumper name and other benefits. That would bring out tally to around 800k-1mil+ before we've even played a game.

 

[theflea]

the prez said on sen that they hope to get around 3m tonite.

 

[Greggy]

I walked past the new centre today and got a glimpse of a "Disco" lit room with a premiership cup in the middle.

 

[NQTIGER]

Apparently Dwayne Russell said on AW that ther would be 1 donation of 1.5 mill , that should give the fund a kick along.

They should have all 10 of them there we aint St kilda, did we get them back from the ANZ bank?

All 10 were in the room. Each with their own pedestal along the back.
No mention of a $1.5m donation at the night yet but they may be saving that announcement for later.

The current board and playing group have contributed $250k. If that $1.5m announcement is true then you'd think the night will get close to $4m

 

[_RT_]

Great effort so far, especially by the playing group kicking in $125k. Would be nice to see us crack the million mark before round 1.

 

[TOOs_Finest]

Gary March said earlier they were hoping to raise like $3mil tonight alone

 

[Tiger_Stripes]

If someone has truly donated 1.5 million I think I'll have a new hero.

Don't know about showing the current donation tally, people might lower their individual pledges if they think others will/have donated more.

 

[sante]

Which players? Or all of them, either way that is great
