Any word on after match function?

[brett]

When we win the grand final, it would definitely worth the $50 cab ride to Mingara from Gosford.

That's how much I paid for a cab from Mingara to Woodport after the V1 Mariners Medal Dinner.

All these little components are worth it...but it's turning out to be an expensive day!

Return train Gosford to Central: $16 (is that right)
3 beers at the KB and a bit of lunch: $24
Match ticket: $50
One token beer in the ground or a pie: $5
Your part in a bottle of champagne or round of shots in the KB: $5
Dodgy kebab at Central: $7
Alicia's cab to Mingers with a friend (there are better ways surely!): $25
(running total: $132)
Marinators Club membership for the right tickets, CCM membership, strip and banners you made thrown in: $$$
Doing Grand Final Day in style and celebrating with half the Central Coast afterwards? Expensive...but priceless.

Word on the street is that public transport is included in the ticket price??

P.S.  Where ever this post match ends up being, I hope they have enough booze and are open 24 hours.

I really dont think that the Minga's courtesy bus could deal with the volume of people who'll want to get from Tuggerah station to their club for this Post GF Function, ESPECSH IF WE WIN!

Mariners FC/Minga's should look to get at least x2 buses of the school variety. Most definately the one which is completely covered in the club colours & logo, and run them alternately from the station to the club. i.e as one bus is dropping people off at Minga's the other is already at Tuggerah train station picking up the next lot, they pass each other on the way there/back.

I dont think both the Mingara Recreation Club or The Mariners FC could handle the bad publicity if someone was hit by a car trying to walk from the station to get to this function at this time of night and vice versa when the party's over and fans's are left to do the same, walk, to get back to the station for a lack of taxi's.

I think I'll be going to the Leagues Club after match celebrations. That is if it doesn't go extra time & penalties. Both venues close at midnight and after travel time etc it wouldn't be worth it.

Getting to mingers is going to be too difficult and getting home a nightmare. I'll get off the train at Gosford and walk across the road to party on at the leaguesy seeing as they have helped so much throughout the season. I think they will put on something in the Scenic Lounge or similar.

seeing as we're taking over the cove why dont we take over Sydney's post game function venue and take over Star City

Yeah that would be great, mainly because I've booked a room there as insurance against the jesters being in the grandfinal.

I'd love it to be anywhere in Sydney, due to my travel plans, but I expect the Coast is most likely for many reasons listed above.

Star City would suit me, but they are the "family" club and would probably want to allow U18's.

Wherever it is I will work something out as long as i can get a day or 2 notice.... no f**k it, i'd sort things out somehow.

The post match function will be at Mingara it has been confirmed..............more details will be released by the club on Monday.

Someone suggested a Sydney function - and someone else also mentioned to me off list - so:

For those of us who live there, work or study there early morning, or are flying out early - how long does the KB stay open? Anywhere else (not StarCity)?

i didn't go to the coast last time - what with having no work on monday etc. i'm very much considering going up to mingers, though i've really got no idea how i'm going to get there!

Just wait for the details on Monday Dibo, I'm sure the club have planned something to help people get there

I'm hoping for:

Full time celebrations at the ground
Singing all the way to the KB, another round of celebrations
Singing all the way to Central
Catching a planned Yellow Express train to whatever station is nearest Mingara
Shuttle bus from the station to Mingara - massive celebrations with players/officials, etc. lasting late (hopefully not just for Mingara and Mariners members - Marinators members too)
After that, who knows - a park bench somewhere? Who cares!

Somehow I've got to get back to a train station, but I suspect that might be difficult without forking out megabucks for a cab.

You really are from Newcastle aren't you?

I wonder if Paul O'Grady is driving to the post match function

 

[Wheresdadspants?]

If anyone lives in sydney like I do and wants to go to the post match you can stay at my dads house if you like. I will be going to the coast after the match no matter what and am gonna crash there. Plenty of room and lots of beer in the fridge.haha. Haven't told him yet but he never has a say in it plus just bought his ticket for him so there won't be any complaints.

 

[Part_Timer]
