Before this was going to be at ANZ. Any idea why they moved it?

 

[innsaneink]

Dont know, there is nothing at ANZ on the 29th

 

[Juro]

I'm tossing up whether to go to the game on Saturday or the members' day on Sunday. Saturday is winning at the moment…

I really would love to get a photo with Farah but theres no mention of photo opps….I recall in the past theyve been very strict on just what happens at these do's recently

I'd rather go to a post match presso at Wests

 

[Sabre]

Is this a sign that when Concord closes down the club will move to Leichhardt.

 

[innsaneink]

No

 

[Juro]

Did anyone here go? Anything worth reporting?

 

[Sincas]

probably the worst organised one I have been to. Players came out 40 minutes after the gates opened and people queued in a huge line for over an hour to get to the signing table. it was never going to get done in time so the players walked along the line signing really quickly to get to everyone.

my main mission was to get Patty to sign a couple of 2005 items and he wasn't on the signing table at the end so that was a waste of time. got farah to sign an Origin jersey to go with other Tiger greats in Benny, Blocker, Brasher, Siro and Garry Jack so that was good.

they really need to organise these better in future. get the players out on time, have a couple of different signing tables.

the kids looked like they had fun with the activities on offer though

not much decent adult merchandise on sale this year either.

The Cowboys did a massive signing at the Laurie Spina Cup and ended up staying over 40 minutes longer signing around 900 kids signatures

They were only supposed to get one signature but kids had 8-9 signatures

My younger fella got JT's on his footy card and is just over the moon

Yep I was there with my son and about 200-500 others…this is the 4th Members day I have been to and I agree with Siccas it was by far the poorest organised and run..apart from autographs which you had to queue for over 1 hour for there was little else on offer...The 2011 members day where Sheens was interviewed, there was a sausage sizzle and many adult and kids activities was well organised and run...there has been a steady decline since....it will take a lot to get me back next year...

 

[innsaneink]

Shame to hear it was a poor affair somewhat….

....but geez a top effort from the players only what 15 hours after that epic performance the nite before....I reckon they could be excused if they didnt seem all their...the ones that played at least


 

[Gazman]

This was my first one I attended and was surprised at the way it was organised with long queue and not a lot of extra activities but getting to meet the players after that great win the night before made up for it

 

[Juro]

I went to my first one last year. It was at Concord Oval, and because of heavy rain, we weren't allowed on the field. Instead, all the players were seated under the stadium. Queued for a long time for my signatures and a 5 second chat with the players. Pretty underwhelming.

Surely they can do more than that!

 

[fulleightyminutes]

I went to my first. My son liked the 'pass the ball' and 'kick a goal' and it's always a blast to get to walk onto Leichhardt but it was pretty underwhelming. I don't know what I expected but perhaps more of a family day than just a huge queue to get things signed. We left around 12 and the players hadn't arrived yet but queue was enormous.

 

[innsaneink]

I went to one in 2005the day after we hammered the dogs, it was at ANZ but outside the stadium sort of between it and the station, reconfigured a bit different now I think.

They had players all over the place, a few on different tables here and there, lots of activities and stalls…it was relaxed and was even able to sit down opposite Heighno & Whatuira while having a bit to eat and able to chat away to them, it was a good vibe and good day but I really havent bothered since more for kids imo

Boy some people are really hard to impress. Went with my two boys they had a blast kicking the footy and meeting their favourite players. Players were excellent signing anything we had for them to sign. Ok there were queues and when they realized that not everyone was going to get to the signing table they arranged for the players to go down the line.
