Maybe, just maybe she does know how to sing it correctly and the game against Heart was the last straw.



Yeah, because fans of 80's synth-pop are always really staunch "don't f**k with me" types.



Showing my age here, but aren't they all men and is this not a "  flock of seagulls"  Eeek.  I wonder if they cringe when showing their kids this photo.

Really? Is any one really that irritated that the savings value of your membership has been decreased?
Don't we become members of the club first and foremost because we f**king love it and want it to succeed?!

13,000 to this game as well.

It makes me laugh that all the lads are saying they need a big crowd blah blah, but when people actually turn up they play like steaming piles of cow sh*t.

and they wonder why the casuals don't turn up every week.....

Were you at the last home game? It was 3-1, could have been more. There was also 13k at that game too. But sure, make things up.

Allegedly

Closer to home there was the Chinese New Year celebrations with some big crowds there at Frank Kitts  Park when we came past prior to the game.

Btw, I think it is great the marketing we have been seeing for these Nix games this year. Good to see we have gone back to Adshel Posters around town too. (If Adshel could change the posters to the next game before the crowds are streaming out that could be good too!.....)
David Dome must be flat tack making all this good stuff happen.Well done David. Two 13,000 crowds in a row is impressive

They were taking your details, and you would be contacted for next year's season ticket offer, and you could win a free season's ticket.

I see cold toasts crowd against Adelaide was reported as 1723. Certainly did not look that many or sound that many. Maybe they are confusing croud gigures with the number of Pies Clive eats!

Maybe included stadium workers,cleaners,catering staff, groundsmen, train drivers and railworkers at the station, repairmen,tradespeople, pedestrians and multiple vehicle drivers coming and going in the vicinity of Skilled Park over the course of the game....did a plane fly over??
