Great call Greenpoleffc

I was reading this topic, thinking the same thing

The game will be policed and security will be present

The area will be fenced off and all bags will be checked before entry

Eskies are not allowed however the club has got a liquour License for that day ;D

Other than that, enjoy the day, bring the family, get some autographs and photos verhead:

The Mariners said that they would bring the "Premiership Plate".

When asked if the Jets would be bringing their dunny seat the answer was, "We are not sure if we are allowed, it is at Cons house"

Silly of me to ask!!!

Yeah, all jokes aside, ill try to be on my best behaviour...

I would love to take the wife and kids, but I don't know whether its worth the risk. They have been enjoying going to games. If I take them there and there is violence, it will probably turn them off going to Bluetongue as well.

We're probably both joining as season ticket holders this year (as opposed to only me last year), so perhaps we're better off going to the meet and greets after the games at Bluetongue. Never been to one of them yet.

whose bringing the flares??

The runts, they like the pretty colours apparently. Given your love of flares maybe you should join them on the day 

unfortunately I'll be working that weekend.

Thats the one area where we have to be careful when repling with a tongue in cheek comment.

Mariners fans are not ageiest, (wow is that a word?) couldn't be, I'm not that smart.....anyway whether we are 7 or 77 we shouldn'tt think that we cannot turn up to a game in our own backyard because of comments made by our own supporters.

We turn away the new members and first timers to our sport.

Lawrie has been talking about how they are looking forward to having a quality hit-out leading up to the season, and would like this to be annual thing. Both camps are looking forward to it for that matter.

COME ON PEOPLE

Man, there are some pretty dumb posts around the forum (definitely not by you, Bex) but it's stuff like this that really gets me.

Posts like this implies that there will be so much trouble at the game that there will be collateral damage affecting people who aren't even looking for it! Based on what? What risk?

Perfectly sensible post by greenpole on page one but tbh I think we're past the point where those disclaimer posts are even necessary.

I agree with brett

thomas, who shall i get in contact with to oranise a ruck away from the ground and security??

i agree completely. The media seems to be watching us in this respect. Sure this game might not be as big as the grand final but still we should be cautious

Hmm try Newcastle Knights or ARL or John O'Neill

Gagging people from mentioning bad things in case the media latches onto it is NOT what I'm talking about.

Pulling people up for their own sake when they even consider there will be problems is what I'm talking about. Fact is: nothing 'risky' has or will go down.

Let's be real: Runts will bring max 30 to this game, probably less. Worst case scenario is that a situation somehow develops where one idiot hits another idiot. No use pretending that can't happen because it's happened before. We will obviously try to avoid this - that goes without saying (yet we still say it). But how that poses more of a risk to an innocent bystander and their family than going to an NRL match, going to the CCLC, or even attending a full term of school, is beyond me.
