Accomadtion for Grand Final in Sydney

[Simon the Crowdie]

Hotel in Potts Point, 5-10 mins walk to Kings X, drink at The Crest - eat at The Bourbon, (a great Steak) train from Kings X to Central (or even Town Hall) central to Lidcombe, Lidcome to Syd Oly Prk (or direct from Central to Syd Oly Prk) depending on time of Travel.

Just booked a room at the George St Hotel. It's a backpacker pub I think. $57 for a single room, but I don't plan on spending much time in it so I don't care. It's only a five-minute walk to Central Station and I've been to the actual pub before and it's a ripper. Just booked frequent flyer point flights - going up at 10am Sunday, coming back 1.15pm Monday.
So regardless of whether we make it or not, I'm there.

Making a "long Weekend" of it, Flying up 0945 Friday ( happily drunk by 3pm) and flying back 1015 Tuesday

Staying put in Melbourne that weekend. Every time I've been to a game in Sydney we've lost.

[Simon the Crowdie]

it used to be like that on the Bus Trips, i think i have only 4 victories on the Bus trips, Tigers 2000 (made the finals),  Panthers and 2 @ Canberra (ok not exactly Sydney). Adult fun before the 2006 GF may have cost us the Game, so I held off the Adult fun until after the game (it and I paid)

Call me an atheist non-superstitious vanilla dude, but doesn't the physical training, mental preparation and motivation of the players of both sides, and the eyesight of the referee, decide the outcome of a game?

Go, don't go, bed each other, bed a player, bed the whole team, do whatever, just support our boys FFS!

[Surandy]

Mrpc, the real reason I'm not going is financial but shhh! I don't like to let others know my real reason.

[CaptainKlutz]

Dunno if I'll go.

I'll leave it to the last minute again I 'spose.

I'll always support the Storm though

[steaming stormer]

tickets booked, flights and accom next on the list

[nacho]

for those interested in either novotel or ibis in homebush  dont worry about it, go for the sherraton its cheaper! 

but being a guest at the novotel or ibis is good as u get vip access to the storm afterparty

[storm_rhinos]

how about this year we have a storm night at a pub in Sydney somewhere?

how about this year we have a storm night at a pub in Sydney somewhere?

I have no doubt there will be an announcement made about where everyone can meet on the Sat nite.

[mrpc]

After last year's after party debacle, how about we organise our own after party?

[storm_rhinos]

debacle?? I enjoyed the after party heaps - being rather smashed after 12 hours at the bar kinda helped though....

how about this year we have a storm night at a pub in Sydney somewhere?

I nominate The Crest Hotel in Kings Cross, as it is more or less Centrally Located, close to Trains, Taxis just outside

Be it Saturday Arvo/Night and/or Sunday night after the Game...
