100,000th fan - prize ideas

All going to plan this Friday's game against "The Coffee Club" Queensland Roar should see the milestone of the 100,000th spectator at a Phoenix A-League match.  What (legal) prize or prizes do people think the club should award to this lucky punter?  ("Legal" to make it clear that Robbie Kruse's head on a silver platter is not an option.)
 
My suggestion: a framed and signed picture of George Paladini.

Did the club get an entirely new strip with the Sony logos on it, or did they just print them onto the old shirts.

Because if they have the old shirts, they should get the entire teams strip all signed by them. That would be insane.

If the Stadium system runs like I think it does, the ticket counters count on the machines and on a server in a dark, lonely cupboard somewhere. They'll be timestamped, and it should be possible to get the seat number from that.

Something like that.

But knowing Ticketek, they wouldn't have a clue...

On reflection, for those of us in the prawn zone the ultimate prize would be a trip for two to Old Trafford (aka "Theatre of Dreams") to watch Man U ("Pride of the North") in the original prawn zone.  Escorted, of course, by the King of Prawns, Mr Roy Keane.

For those in the Prawn zone the prize could be a trip to the Fever Zone.

Its no longer a problem.

I see in the paper today the club has adopted my suggestion () and is giving the 100,000th supporter a Sony Blu-ray DVD player.  Unfortunately it won't be me as I have to be at the kids' school for something ().  No mention of dinner with Lonegunmen as part of the prize....

I think it's a great idea and the prize should reflect what it's like to be a true Phoenix supporter, therefore my vote would be for following multi-tiered prize, a prize that keeps on giving throughout the night.....

 

1)       A beer and burger at the BB

2)       Entry into the feverzone without having to show your ticket

3)     Incessant chants of �who are ya� on arrival, when first seated, whenever standing, talking, eating, drinking or going to the gents

4)     Throw beer over them

5)     Throw bottles at them

6)     And if the Phoenix don�t concede in the last 5 minutes give the winner a good kick in the bollocks so he knows what it feels like most weeks.

7)     Back to the BB for a final beer before a free �tandori taxi� home with a driver that doesn�t know the way.

 

Ahhhhhhh life as a Phoenix supporter, could you ask for anything more?

Sarcasm or cynicism? If that was the prize I'd still accept it. Only if I was given a taxi chit for the dodgy driver!!

I would describe DLB's suggestion as "deliberately, typically, provocative".

Does it come with a Blu-ray disc of George's training highlights?

Say the man who's just posted:
 
"Before we get upset by any further posting from the Queensland boys please remember this is the state of Australia where nine young men gang raping a 10 year old is considered acceptable.  Where the police hassle aborigines for the crime of being black.  Where corruption is endemic.  It's something like the redneck southern USA so don't expect the gene pool to throw up too many geniuses."

But you see there is all the difference in the world between baiting the opposition and having a go at your own forum and fans.  It really is that simple! Cantona forever2007-12-13 15:17:36
