Just drove past the Stadium - looked like a few cars there so hopefully they'll get some good numbers.

Just spoke to Feverish and looks like they have had a really good turn out.  Watch out for some more YF TV coming up...

just back from there, and I thought it was excellent.  Loads of kids having a good time, taking shots, getting autographs and getting their faces painted.  Even Feverish got his face done to make him look like a little dog.
 
Interviewed Mossy (he loves us) but not sure how it will come out.  We did it on the pitch and there was quite a few kids screaming all over the place.  Also, near the end the guy came booming over the PA to tell everyone that they were having fun (or something else pointless).  We'll see if it is worth posting.
 
Oh, Mossy = legend.

I spoke to Ross and he said  the support given from everyone in the fever zone really gives the team a lift,and he said they could hear what was going on. Just imagine what they will think once things have got them selves sorted and we know what each other is chanting.

From what he said they cant wait for the 26th,we may have made a rod for our own backs.But then again i did say he hadnt seen or heard anything yet.

yeah.  I quite enjoyed just sitting in the sun watching it all go on around me.

Wish I'd thought of taking the Junior News's Retro Ricki to get it signed.

Missed it! Was hoping to go but, like the preseason game against Sydney, I had to put lacrosse training first. And even then I was late...why do I drink on the nights before practice? :P

Took my boy along and he loved it. Good turn out.
 
Very impressed by all the players putting in the effort and looking enthusiastic about being there. Especially the Brazilians, Cleberson genuinely looked like he was enjoying himself and Daniel impressed my son when he smiled at him and gave him a wave.
 
Even Ricky and the CEO were there. Well done guys.
 
Hey, HN I thought the same thing after I got there. Although it is strange that my sons YF shirt is my size

Yeah the Powerade was only just dealing to my hangover and the big kids were stealing all the balls-
 
 Nah it was a fun day from staffing point of view too- i read this forum as a fan and as to garner feedback too- so next time: all smiles
 
Mossy did a great job, a model proffesional
 
Hang on- did you call me old? i like to think of it as experienced...

that was me - but there was also a mother of the boys (I assume) taking one at the same time - so if that wasn't you I would be very worried.
Plus I know the kids father, and I dont think he's responsible enough to have children to be fair.
