So who's going to Sydney? I saw Rollins ticked tha poll as going, anyone else? can't wait, DD Jnr is staying with his nana, so I'll be on the loose!!! Was VERY **** INTERESTING last year, am looking forward to it again this year. I love away trips!

GweedsOSS · Wed Oct 03, 2007 5:09 pm

I am not going (never been away yet.....maybe one day)

Are you catching the bus Daydream?

Daydream · Wed Oct 03, 2007 5:43 pm

No I am not, I'm flying, and I think I have made a very stupid decision to go, cos I'm pretty damn broke.......uh oh....

so how was Sydney folks?

Daydream · Mon Oct 08, 2007 5:01 pm

i remember being deep in conversation with rollins at one point, but you reckon i can remember ANYTHING we were talking about? NUP! Apparently i had a couple of long chats with rob too, he had to remind me of that. I also feel very guilty about sexually harassing Seb (I pinched him on the arse twice).

didn't see that much of the game, was too busy watching Roma and tony farkin and Cigars doing their thing.....and jumping up and down like a lunatic, and singing my lungs out. got no voice today.

sounds like fun

Daydream · Mon Oct 08, 2007 6:09 pm

Away trips are always fun....

Rollins · Mon Oct 08, 2007 6:57 pm

Wasn't 100% fit & missed my flight back lol
Overall away support was disapointing.
From what i can remember DD was going nuts, Cigar & i think Roma took over most of my big flag waving responsibilities..

Daydream · Mon Oct 08, 2007 9:15 pm

THAT WAS YOUR FLAG!!!!! I was looking at it, thinking it looked familiar.....Bloody ripper that one is. Good job on bringing it, AND must have made you proud to have it flying high instead of tucked away in the back draped over seats. I saw Pete and Cigars both waving it, at one point or another, never saw Roma waving it, all i saw him doing was smiling and singing and clapping. He was grinning from ear to ear. I'm booking in this trip every year, but I'll save up for it properly next year. Might spend one year making up a massive flag especially for the trip.....LOL, it'd take me that long too!!!!!!!!

Next time book accom at the Captain Cook, they have GREAT rooms, 4 bed dorms, $25 per bed, and leave your banner/flag there, then you can cruise around all day without it, go to the CC before the game, pick it up just before everyone leaves and then drop it off after the game. i'm going to book there every Sydney away, great place to stay.

CLMV · Tue Oct 09, 2007 3:13 pm

That's good tip DD.
I'll try to remember that if ever I look like going to this fixture.

I take the CC is v close to the ground.

Daydream · Tue Oct 09, 2007 3:23 pm

Literally across the road. The "A" tag is the Captain cook hotel, the big round thing is Aussie Stadium.

Do you enter through the bar CC was full of scum after, was it not?

If others plan on bringing flags/standards up then i may go to the effort of replacing/repairing the pole for next time, i feel it's rather pointless otherwise.

Daydream · Tue Oct 16, 2007 12:29 am

But your flag was soooo GORGEOUS!!!! The entry into the CC was around the back/side bit, you didn't need to go through the bar to get to the accommodation bit, is a great place to stay, nice and clean, small rooms, but cheap, serves it's purpose.
