Rams versus Brisvegas @ Parramatta, Fri 3rd Oct

[Pfitzy]

This will be the first (and last) Friday night game of the comp, played in a league heartland with no other sport on to speak of.

This week could actually be a big one for NRC, with no game scheduled for Sunday either in what is a smart move.

The Rams have two games left and will have to win both with a flourish in order to have any hope of the finals. Can't see them doing it on Friday against a Brisbane City side who have only lost to the Rising.

Weather forecast is sunny low 20s the rest of the week after a very warm Tuesday, but it might get a bit dewy.

Should be entertaining regardless.

 

[Dctarget]

Do we have a livestream?

 

[RugbyReg]

Quade to get half a game. Hopefully should help the crowd too.

8:00pm kickoff. How 'bout a few beers and a feed at the Bavarian Bier Café starting at, say, 6:00?

For those ooh-ing and aah-ing, sign up for a Rams membership to get half price ($10) tickets.

You're in luck! The project I was going to launch Tuesday has slipped by a week (fucking vendors) so I'm now able to attend.

What's the parking situation like around the stadium?

Very much considering making the trek out.

 

[Pfitzy]

Its called a "train" and you take it to a "station", and then the only parking you need to do is your arse on a chair at the BBC.

But if you're game, the pool next door usually has a few spots - supposedly a 2 hour limit but fuck those guys. The walk from train to Bavarian is pretty easy though, and the walk from there to the stadium is a doddle.

 

[barbarian]

Not all of us live in areas serviced by trains

Will examine my options.

 

[Pfitzy]

You're a fucking bum! You could take all day to walk there or take 20 buses you lollygagger!

 

[barbarian]

Mate you don't understand life on the A-list. So many competing offers, so many different Friday night events. I'll tell you the same thing I told Kanye- I'll do my best, mate.

 

[Pfitzy]

i didn't know Kanye was gay.

 

[barbarian]

Which proves my point- you don't understand life on the A-list.

Very much considering making the trek out.

For the likely turnout, you should be able to park at Parramatta Stadium or the Parra Leagues Club car park next door. You're not actually meant to park in the Leagues Club car park but we did it for the first Rams home game without issue.

Is Gill out injured? White (13) out too by the looks.

 

[RugbyReg]

Gill being rested

 

[Wilson]

Turner not there either, another injury or just playing it safe?
