All,
I am happy to confirm that we have come to an agreement with Countrylink regarding buses to away games and have secured coaches for each of our 7 away games in Sydney and have a tentative booking for the Newcastle away game. Countrylink are also going to put together a package for our game in Melbourne, which includes travel & accommodation, so we will see how we go with that one. The bus company we have secured has a 48 seater with a toilet and a 27 seater for games where we don’t get as many tourists. They will also be helping out the Sydney lads with their bookings (if required) and can arrange for the ‘beer on the way back’ policy to be allowed for their trips down the Hume.
I am ready to take expressions of interest and payments for the Wests Tigers away game in Round 1, to be played on Monday March 16th in Campbelltown. I will confirm the departure times a little closer to the event, but I would envisage a 2pm departure from Jolimont at this stage. Cost for the trip will be $55 per person, which includes your return travel and maybe a beer or two on the way home. If you are interested in attending our first game of the season 9and kicking it off in style I might add), send me an email and I will add you to the list.
Also for those who purchased Greenbay 72 memberships, we have just got word that the flags have arrived at Raiders HQ. So bring in your membership card/ID to collect them.
Additionally, the Socceroos are taking on Kuwait in an Asian Cup Qualifier at Canberra Stadium on Thursday March 5. We are putting together a little crew and making a group booking of tickets in the “home” end. Tickets are $25 each, and we will probably have a pre-game syrup somewhere as well. If you are interested in joining us, send me an email at kw@raidersarmy.com
Happy days,
KW
