I am.
Would like to know how many of us are planning to head north and where we'll be pre-game.
Also to the Q'land based Tiges who'll be there.
I can't wait.
Thinking the Pineapple before the game.

Im lucky enough to be up there for work at the right time. Where is the best option for a beer before the game (and after depending on how we go)?

Ill be there. Been a few years since we played up here.

Have a new GF these days and whenever anyone mentions sport to her she says Go Tigers, even if its ****ing netball. She joined me at Jupiters today to watch us and is getting infected with tiger fever.

She will be there too :thumbsu:

Been to a few Tiger games at the Gabba and always a decent crowd.

Remember when we beat them the year we were 9 and 2 before Browny did his leg (05?) and on the train back to the Coast it was full of Tigers. Mustve outnumbered Lions 2-1.

Oh I remember standing on the station so full of hope :(


'Oh we're from Tigerland' rang through the streets of Brisbane that night. And on the trains south.

If anyone is heading up to Brisbane, or anywhere else for that matter, at around noon (I fly out at around 2pm) on Thursday, I have two Virgin Loiunge passes to give away fro free.
That includes Lions fans.
You don't need to be travelling Virgin either. Just PM me and the free Crownies are yours.

I'm booked on the Qantas flight Auckland to Brisvegas on Friday arvo. Staying at the Stamford Plaza with the team, or that's were the club have booked anyways. I was at the Brisbane game a few years back when Richo was slotting them from everywhere and Voss handballed back to goal for Brownie to pick up the crumb ang goal. Happy days!

1st trip to the Gabba - fly in on Sat arvo, and bringing a few brisbanites to the proper aussie rules. spewing JBrown isnt playing- meaningless win without him!

should be half a chance, but our 2 wins were pretty ordinary - v wcrabble and depeted power. will be bloody good to see how we match with a good side - not as good as StK but still a top 8 side...

For sure ... can't wait - been a few years since we played up here... hopefully Jack can kick another bag on the lions non-existent back line.

Pineapple before the game is the place to be ... short walk to the ground.

Absolutely pumped to the max!

As a Queensland based Tigers supporter, it's been far too long between trips to the Gabba. The GF is a passionate Lions supporter and will be there with me on the night, so can't wait to sit in the stands with the yellow and black and get amongst it.

I've got the club song on the iPod for the trip in the car their and certainly pumping for the trip home.

Car'n Tigers, eat em alive!!!!!!!!

Im in Sec 17, the Captain's Licenced area ;)

That's the cheersquad end isnt it?


And yeah its definitely been too long between drinks for us up here. Think the last game was just before Browny did his Leg... I remember Finals were looking on the cards. What a train trip home that was. While finals wont be on the cards, hoping for a similar train ride home.


* Actually recall us getting done by Adelaide recently at Cararra. Almost forgot it because I was so ****ing drunk.
