Where are you sitting Andy? I'm in Bay 14 but friends would like me to move and sit with them, which I think I will do. I can always sit somewhere different every week and make special guest appearances in different bays..I can be a utility fan...

It did come out a bit OTT didn't it, my apologies it wasn't my intention, just a bit rushed.

Not a problem Big Arty.

But it does appear at times to me that there's alot of people complaining about CH9 or FOX, ...

My comment was more observation than complaint as I'm well aware that ...

... but the fact is that they've just pumped $1b into the game & my point was that it doesn't come without a cost.

... they've made quite an investment in the game. However, surely there are other ways to recoup their investment in the game other than scheduling matches on Thursday and Monday nights? Two on a Friday, three on a Saturday and three on a Sunday?

Personally I love the fact that I'll have footy on my telly from Thursday to Monday (mind you my wife is not so keen on this), the only thing that would make me happier is if they had a mid-week comp to be played on Tues & Weds nights too!!

On this I suggest we agree to disagree.
Oh and GO EASTS.

ROFLMFAO that's the most polite rebuttal I believe I've ever seen maaaaaaaaaaaaate.

Brilliant.

Hahahahaha, I'm simply not interested in carrying on in here because after all, we are all Roosters supporters maaaaaaaate.

Should I throw in the seemingly obligatory "fark souffs" here Captain Backwards, you know, just to confirm my Rooster supporter credentials?

[TheLoneRooster]

I've had the good fortune of meeting TLR mate, he's a smooth mo-fo. Good with the ladies and polite aswell.

I'm thinking of swapping sides.

LMAO. You're a funny bugger stsae.

Due to my work the only games I can generally watch/attend are Monday nights.

Haven't looked at the draw in too much detail but I doubt we'll have too many of those this season.

[rooster_booster]

Only the first 5 weeks have Thursday night games I believe and its a helluva a lot better than a 2nd delayed game on the Friday night IMO.

Good luck driving out of the city, then driving back to the city, then leaving again. Most people wake up around 6am to go to work the next day, people are not going to sacrifice work for a footy game.

Oh yes they are!
Well not sacrifice as such, but;
People have made arrangements for this game
..annual leave day, rostered day off, called in a day owed to them by other staff for whom they did favours..etc


For one night, most people can exist on 4-5 hours sleep.

I sit in 14 too. I would be nice to meet you at a game.

Testament to the drawing power of SBW, I'll be going with the following five people:

• An Eels supporter
• A Sea Eagles supporter
• A Warriors supporter
• An Essendon supporter

and last and certainly least ...

• a vermin supporter

The only reason the other four are going is because it is SBW's debut (they hope).

I'm freakin' pump(ed).

I can understand the NRL having Thursday nights for the first month or so. I was originally planning to have Thurs and Fri off when the draw came out but a change of jobs has meant I'll just have to suck it up, survive on limited sleep and go to work the next day. I couldn't really expect a day off second week into the position.

At least I work in the city, but the later 8.05pm start and train trip home out west after the game will make it a late night. So I will either be tired and happy or tired and bloody cranky at work on Friday. The bosses should be hoping for a Chooks win!

I remember last year the DragQueens played the Ferral Druggos at Ferralville Stadium. Now that must have been a real pain the backside for the DragQueen fans - from down south to Newcastle is a couple of hours at least. each way.

I sit in 14 too. I would be nice to meet you at a game.

I promise I will come and say hello. Tones, John from the chicken shop and Cannon all speak highly of you so that is good enough for me.

Good luck with your new job NC and I hope you enjoy it. We do have some odd scheduling this year. I work with a Warriors fan who is looking forward to coming to our June game but it's 6.30pm start on a Sunday. If it were that time the previous weekend being the Queen's Birthday, I could understand. And we drew the short straw on Easter Monday getting the night game right before going back to work after 4 days off but I guess someone has to play then. We'll have excellent chances of winning those games so I will not complain..
