Re: Round 5 vs Gold Coast

I'm not sure what the rules are around here regarding this kind of thing but there's a dude that's been streaming Friday night's games on Justin.tv.  I watched it the last two weeks and it was perfect.  The channel's been different the past two weeks so I'm assuming it will change again - but I can ...

Re: Round 12 and 13 dates released.

I wish the Bulldogs game was at night - it means we have to keep waiting to see AAMI Park glowing purple.

Re: Crowd for Friday

Hopefully any first-timers that may have been put off because of queues will come back for the Broncos game at AAMI Park.

Re: Crowd for Friday

Yeah, the membership tent was a bit ridiculous.  I must have stood there for at least half an hour.  I was going to give up and leave after a little while but I figured it would probably be the same next time so I just kept waiting.  They should have had an express line just for people collecting ca...

Re: Etihad seating arrangments

I get the impression that the seating allocation for Etihad was fairly random.

Re: Gameday attire?

In my opinion, the only thing any of us needs to know regarding fashion is that purple is the new black.

Re: Round 4 Good Friday game

I love it when large groups of opposition supporters (Dragons, Manly) start off rowdy and then suddenly get very quiet for the rest of the game.

Re: Gameday attire?

Usually jeans and that year's polo shirt.  Once the club releases the new hoodie for sale I'll probably wear that all the time.

I'll just die if I run into someone wearing the same thing as me.  I'd have to go home and change.

Re: Something to get us riled up for Friday

There's no sense in getting riled up about something like this.  There's always going to be people hating on the Storm no matter what we do.  It's just unfortunate that some of them have an outlet and an audience.

Re: Crowd for Friday

I think between 25,000 to 30,000 is realistic.  40,000 would be amazing but I highly doubt it will happen.  Although, that said - with no other sport on that day, plenty of people out and about in the city and free GA admission for kids with a paying adult might push it into the 30s.  I'm hoping the...

Re: Seating allocation

Got my membership package today.  Very happy with my seats for the Etihad games - very disappointed with the member's pin, though.  Really, if that's the effort they put into it, what's the point?  Last year's pin was classy - and it didn't look like it cost two cents to make.  At least the lanyard ...

Re: The Matty Johns Show

I thought the show was weak and I didn't find the so-called "comedy" segments funny at all.  There wasn't enough talk about the teams and I didn't like how they crammed three or four games worth of tips together at the end.  I did like the segment with players at an audience member's house...

Re: Seating allocation

When I called about allocation this morning, I also asked when I can expect the tickets for the Etihad games.  The woman told me that it should be either today (Monday - and they didn't come) or tomorrow and that if I didn't receive them by Thursday at the latest, I should call straight away so they...

Re: Seating allocation

I just got off the phone with the membership department.  It turns out that Bay 7 is completely full - the woman I spoke to offered to hold my request to be moved in case someone else asked to be moved out of that area.  I asked her to check Bay 5 instead and she found a seat there - almost identica...
