R20 vs Adelaide | Sat 7 Mar | NOW 5:00pm | Bellevue Gardens Hotel

I'm pretty sure there was an adelaide defender in the middle outside the box. Doesn't matter though 2-0 win and 3 points. Love it.

BTW its definitely good Green with premature shirts off.

Does Baxters work the cake tin as well? Or we're they only at the rec to offer gourmet food?

I spoke to Hamish, the head of Baxter's today for a good 15 minutes. It was a good open honest discussion. Afterwards I emailed him my side of the story, and cc'ed David Dome at the Phoenix. I've heard from David too. They are going to work though all of the issues involved.

Good to hear Brandon this is not just swept aside. And good luck with healing and mending.

I want to know what the TAB would have offered for a can to go up in the air (Accidently as happened), get caught by a stiff breeze and land through a hole about 3 feet by 3 feet some 40 feet away and landing smack into a deep frier. That has to be some sort of miracle play there.

Chin up Brandon, it will get resloved in due course. imo once you guys apologised it should have finished. I can understand why the guy was angry but hey, such a flukey thing even he should have realised that.

Nobody came out of that situation well. I would imagine a can landing into a deep fat fryer would have been a pretty scary thing and outside caterers are not renowned for their patience and forgiveness. 

The second can was a mistake and might have lead to Brandon being removed from the ground if it had been spotted. Would he have been banned at Westpac?

We have always handled ourselves well in the YF even if sh*t-faced. We just need to remember to get the Security in ASAP as it's there job to sort this sh*t out. 

But we've all do stupid things, so lets hope this is the end of it.

The can landing in the deep fryer is not a confirmed incident. It's been repeated several times, but actually the only evidence we have from Patrick or AJ(?) above is that it didn't happened, but could have.

Anyway, it's being handled by the correct authorities so hopefully it'll get tidied up and everyone will get an outcome they can be satisfied with.

and hear should endeth the lesson..

I called into the Belle Vue yesterday evening and talked to one of the Bar Girls about her experience  over the three games.

She said that  they thoroughly enjoyed the Phoenix Supporters especially those who were in the Garden Bar.

They loved the humour and said that everyone was just great fun.

The Bellevue was a fantastic place to be at too. Great food and great staff.

If the Nix ever head back to the Hutt, I'd have no hesitation in going back to the Bellevue. It really was perfect for us.

that outside garden area is such a nice place to have a beer when it's sunny. Plus it had plenty of room for all of us.

Not me. I made no such comment, I didnt even know the incident had even occurred until yesterday (after reading this very thread).

Kudos to the staff at the Belle, nothing was any trouble. 

Great. Did you fudge her?

Silly comment!

So that would be a no then ..

There are no plans for the Bellevue to be shut down.

+1

Although Ive nearly lynched a few of them for the delay in serving or the piss poor quality of the burgers

It has the big screens for SKY?

I might have to give it a try for our "away" playoff(s)

Yep. It's the full deal.

I heard its changing ownership or re-branding or something?

Seems there are a number of stories doing the rounds. Hard to say which one is the closest to the truth.  I have heard 3/4 in the last 4 weeks and have no idea which is the closest to the truth.

Good read this

The property has been bought by the hospice and they have no plans to change  it from its current use.

Fudge I love this shark.  Anoraks for everyone!!

Fund raising for the Hospice?

The Hospice has purchased the freehold and there is a lease in place to the proprietor of The Belle Vue. The Hospice will be receiving a healthy income from the lease whilst it is in place.

Once the lease expires there maybe an option for the Hospice to take over the accommodation away from the main building and use it for relatives of patients who are from out of town. This would be consistent with other hotels/ motels owned by various Hospices around the country

The Hospice could then lease  the main building to operate as it does now. 

...just fading away.

Boooo

Just a bare memory now.

or to be precise, a bare memory of a black and yellow stripey on a late summer day in Hutt Valley
