Waratahs 2015

[Richo]

What I like about ANZ is the speed of beer queues -- even at the final, it was pretty quick to get a drink. The SFS has 20 minute queues on a regular basis, which I think is unacceptable. I understand why it happens, but I do think the Waratahs need to get that shit sorted out fast.

Speaking to some casual fans at the Rebels game this year (25-30 minute beer queue, well under 20k at the stadium), they said that it was a crap night out because it was so slow to get a drink -- they enjoyed the game, but saw no point in watching it live if you spend 25% of the match buying your round.

And back in '88 when people went to the footy they got FULL strength beer and drank a fuckload. So why the hell was it never given capacity to do this?

Go back to selling cans I say. Quicker.

Should be a good season

No cans is meant to be about public safety -- can't chuck cups and hurt someone. But there is never any argy bargy at Tahs games, so what does it matter?

Fuck it. Let's move back to Concord and piss everyone off equally.

If you have that as your end, play at Sydney Uni No 1 Oval. You'd get 85K a game.........being pissed off.

Fucking bogans in league. There's your issue.

It would, however, feel like home for most of the team.

Back in the day, I worked in the food and beer kiosks at Brookvale Oval, North Sydney Oval (when the Bears were still an ARL team) and Concord Oval. North Sydney Oval wasn't so bad but at Brookvale Oval it was sometimes hard to find a girl over 18 with a full set of teeth. Having seen the crowd at close range for a few years, it boggled me how the club came to be called silver tails. It certainly wasn't because of the supporters.

The highlight of Concord Oval was watching the Irish team train there during the 1994 tour. Instead of stocking the food and beer kiosks on a weekday, we watched the Irish forwards train. Even then Keith Wood looked hard as, but was actually quite pleasant.

League mythos. Need someone to hate, and think anyone living near the beach is rich like the Eastern suburbs south of the harbour.

You ever been to Coogee? Home of the Eastern Brown and Tatted Bogan.

Or the Shire? Home of the subspecies - Southern Cross Tatted Bogan.

Manly to Dee Why is essentially the Bogan part of the North Shore a block away from the beach

As is Maroubra through Matraville & Pagewood/Hillsdale in the Eastern Suburbs; and Cronulla down in the shire

 

[BPC]

Fixed.

Of course, homo hobbitus boganus australis.

Don't tell North Shorians that's part of the north shore. Its the Northern Beaches, completely separate....

Apparently all the staff were at the SCG for some other sport. Crap excuse but that's what they told me during the wait

As you inferred, the club itself had a load of money. There was a period (~80s?) where they would continually buy the best talent available from all around the country. Hence why they were hated and other supporters people celebrated Manly not winning during that period (and after, fans of other teams have long memories).

Problem is that the Tahs have very little control over this stuff - it's all the SCG Trust and the guys they've franchised out to that run the catering places.

I hope that the tenants of the SFS band together and get something done, because the amount of money they pay to rent the venue, plus the money you pay for the food / drink, makes you wonder why the service and quality of said food / drink is so shockingly bad.

Yeah, and that makes four fifths of fuck all difference to everyone waiting.

Absolutely. But the only way to influence things for the better is to hammer the Tahs over it on member surveys and via email after games. That gives them data they can take to both the other tenants and the Trust.
