Clap politely for any meat and potatoes hit up of 8 metres or more by a prop who lands on their front. Wingers need to beat a tackle for a clap. Halves, centres and second rowers earn an "oooh" if they poke their nose through.

Expect flat periods from the crowd, something that never used to happen pre 2005 but has become a thing since the ground has attracted more casual fans.
 
Here’s a tip: enter from the Glover st entrance. There’s something quite spiritual as you walk up the incline, over the rise, and there she is - the 8th wonder in all her glory!! Special moment imo.

Yeah, good call. It's just appears before you at once.

Then try it on Sunday mate. I love it. You come over the hill and it’s just majestic
 
@NT_Tiger WHAT do you have against dogs that you suggest they are as useless as Woods?
 
@Yossarian the 440 gets you closer but it can be a slow trip (lots of stops). I prefer a quick trip (no stops from CBD to Victor Rd then a walk.
Also The pubs are better up the 500’s end of Balmain Rd , imo .

Vats va funniest fing I've ever seen :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:
 
Quite sad really.

Had a guy (not the same one) going on last year at LO against the Cowboys yelling out every 5 secs - "We remember Coffs Harbour Thurston".

Funny the first few times but after that.......

@shiretiger geez two cans of light beer at a time. Sounds like they are wanting to limit people getting bloated. Might be better off just with the Leichhardt special 12 inch hot dog on a 6 inch bun. No drinks.

Almost always been my point of entry, sort of like a tradesman entrance and belonging to the hill.
