Ok so anyone know a sorta vague plan of what theyre going to be doing on Saturday? Where theyre watching it...after the game ect>

Hi everyone,
I will be at Carnegies Bar in Singapore. Sg is 2 hours behind Melb so the game will start at 12.30.
The day is organised by the only footy team in Singapore (the wombats) and there will be beer, pies and even 2 StK players coming for the day.
I can't wait!
Cheers,
MArk

I'll be at the game cheering on the boys

If we win it'll be over to the premiership party at Rod Laver Arena,
there's also a player reception at Crown.
250 bucks tho!!!

Anyone going to Brunswick St on Sunday????

 

[Gabriel]

Hmmmmm either a few of the boys around at my place or the Story Bridge Hotel.

[Maverick]

If we win I will be going to the tennis centre that night, and Brunswick Street the next day.

 

[LIONS2001]

I'll be at the game, then off to Rod Laver arena if we win. Not sure after that. But I'll be at brunswick St. Oval win or lose on sunday.

 

[joshhem]

Well after getting over the fact that I'm not going to the game .....we're having heaps of ppl over our place and putting the match up on the projector....

GO LIONS!!!!!

 

[Olmy]

I'll be at the game, as well as at Melbourne Park for the after-match, if we win.

I'll definitely be at Brunswick St. Oval the following day as well.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Ditto to what Mavoso and Olmster have said.

 

[brizrider]

Will be down in Melbourne from Thursday for the game. Apart from the game anything on for Lions fans? I think Roar Deal are doing a live pod. Is there likely to be anything at BSO next day? Where's everyone not going watching from?

There’s no way you just bumped a 20 year old thread.

No need to reinvent the wheel! Also, every once in a while, it's fun to read posts from the first few rounds of 2001 when apparently the Lions list was in need of a complete overhaul

I love that there’s still a few familiar names in this thread

You never made it to the tennis centre, Mav!!

 

[knaf]

Will they be a Brunswick Street this year?

 

[Maverick]

Yes…I was there. 2001 GF win I was there at the tennis centre. Players turned up very late but that was ok.

22 years ago, hard to believe.

I was there with the misses.

I remember there being a few in the seating area, but nearly everyone was on the floor.

It was great. I couldn’t believe we’d beaten the bombers.
