Did anyone make it into this promotion? or heard whether they're in? (again, I'm useless - can't reproduce the storm alert from yesterday, sorry!)

I personally thought that they should have called the Bai Stand, and our pom pom brigade from the Eastern Stand and asked us to be involved  ;D ;D. How can their promotion be effective without us?? (We haven't heard back yet :()

It's not until next Tuesday.

As far as I am concerned, Channel Nein can kiss my arse.  I'm seriously thinking of picketing the entrance to the graveyard next week.  Pity it'd mean taking time off work since I'm on night shifts next week.

Cheers to everyone that got picked! Look forward to seeing you all in whatever form this promo appears in!

Someone needs to channel Bunnies and TC for us, meaning I want to hear a 5 minute long "STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORM!" and "Get 'em onside ref! They've been doin' it all night!"

Do we know what the promo is for?
Will it be for a new program, advertisement or just a fluffy news story?

Knowing nine it will be two hours of staged footage from which they'll take 30 seconds of filler that make the fans look stupid or inane.
This will most likely become a throw away bit at the end of the news.
"Meanwhile in Melbourne - Storm fans are finally getting a taste for rugby league" Blah Blah Blah.

Yes I am cynical - No I will NEVER trust channel stitch up  ;-)

I hope they will supply you with hot drinks and blankets, cause I'm guessing it's going to get a little chilly.

I know it's the same as matches, but at least you're taking your mind off it by watching the game and carrying on.

You could always play 'let's pretend' and watch an imaginary game  ;-) :lol:

Think back to when you were a kid - imagination is a wonderful thing  :D

If that fails, take a bottle of 'special' coke with you  ;-)
