Hard to disagree with that. Places filled with gaming and poker machines are awful. I remember once in about 1997 I was tripping hard on LSD and spent an hour or so wandering around Penrith Leagues Club. It was like walking through a maze of corpses. That was back when people would smoke cigarettes while they played. I don't understand the appeal of this kind of shithole at all.
I went there in 1991 a few weeks after the grand final to meet up with the current boyfriend of the time as he grew up out there and I did exactly that, wandering around like a lost sheep as we had no mobile phones back then..he was a big drinker..meet me at the bar..yeah right..which one? . The place needs it's own postcode..

Ha yeah. Can't remember the full details but it sounds better when I say it the way I did.
That's it, I asked if I can get in with my Roosters card as I thought all clubs accepted other clubs member cards. She said the Roosters card wont let me in and that I have to sign up to Souffs iuniors club if I wanted to get in. I just walked out.
She was a real grouch.
Tweed Heads let me in with my Roosters card when I went with my auntie and uncle. When I worked in the city, a few of us girls used to go to the NSW Leagues Club for lunch and we could use our Roosters and Panthers memberships to get in. Golly, life was so much more simple then. I really miss those days sometimes.

I have a neighbour (Roosters fan) whose best friend INSISTED on having her birthday there and she said she faked food poisoning to try and get out of it. That's how much she did not want to attend but she felt guilty for it and ended up going. We were playing them that night too in a semi final and she was feeling really uncomfortable about the whole thing.

Either you live within the 5 km radius or it might have been discount voucher day. The 5km rule may be more - 8 perhaps
They live in Souths territory. Maybe their fridge was stolen.
The funny thing, we lived in Paddington when i first grew up, just about 100 mtrs from the Sports Ground, they moved out at the end of 1970 and moved to Kingsford where they have lived since, i still have more of a connection to our Paddington residence than Kingsford, i hate Kingsford.

As long as you don't live with in 5km radius of the club you should be let in with reasonable ID ie licence etc.
Its funny though there was one time last year i was going to a function at the Marrickville Bowling club and i live well within the 5km radius, they weren't letting any walk ins into the club because of the big crowd expected, she asked if i had any other club memberships on me as i wasn't a member, i pulled out my Easts Leagues card and she let me and the person i was with straight in.

Maybe reciprocal arrangements between clubs or if outside the 5 km rule or the distance the club determines - meaning if you go to club and live within that radius you cant sign in as a temporary member - either have to have a member of that club sign you in or you have to join to be able to enter the club - it's a legislated requirement under the registered clubs act.

Yeah it is huge. I had lunch there with my parents about 3 years ago. There are some okay restaurants there now. Actually, I have to say it was pretty nice. I also recall purchasing tickets to a match at Panthers Stadium was considerably cheaper than Roosters home tickets.

Did they ask for your address though- may have thought you lived in the East when you showed your Easts Leagues Card.

She actually didn't ask but i had my photo ID out with my address on it and showed her before she asked if i had any other club memberships, she had a look at my photo ID but didn't say anything about my address on it.

Another thing I don’t like about clubs. Live close by but not a member and they make it difficult for you to get in. Isn’t life about being inclusive not exclusive?

I might lob up to Royal Sydney or NSW and tell them that. i could dream about getting on to NSW but I used to have a buddy whose father was a rich Centennial Park dentist. Dude didn't even play and he was membered up. Long waiting lists and then you will only get in if you have a connection.
