Premiership Cup Tour Continues...

[OldE]

Jeffers, Tuesday, Aussie Ange and myself headed down to the beach today, and it was alright. Suprisingly few people there. The line for Barry Hall signatures was at least twice as long as the others. Poor old McVeigh was sitting there with noone in line.

I had a nice time, though. I got a photo with the premiership cup, which was very exciting.

The tourist with the WEagles hat was none too pleased when he arrived to see what the deal was.
Safe to say he didn't stick around.

Serves him right, he's in Sydney. What was he expecting to see, Chris Judd??

Probably ruined the poor guy's trip.

He could have always gotten McVeigh's autograph!!

poor old mcveigh?
how about half the time both Ryno AND Sean also had empty lines??

it was lovely to see the boys though.
Baz was the only one of the 5 who've spoken to Tadhg. He says tiger's coping relatively well, in light of the situation.

THANKS FOR THAT j s!!! I only got the 2002 edition of the map and m7 then was still known as the phillip parkway.
I cant wait til tomorrow but i'm scared i'll get lost when i'm going there!

I went to the Blacktown one today, it was really good!! The players were really nice and it was funny when Crouchie said something like "Mickey is usually a smart guy but i dont understand why he allow Nic to give him directions and now they have no idea where they are." My feet are still hurting from walking to the park from the station and back.

So I don't have a right to be annoyed that after having bothered to turn up, SOME of the players couldn't be bothered taking it seriously? And that people at Bondi had the cup for 2+ hours last night while we got it for 30 MINUTES (maybe 40 if we're being generous)? Whether intentionally or not, there seems to be a message that the western fans certainly aren't as important than the eastern fans.

Where did I say you didn't have a right to be annoyed?

It just highlights the fact that people see things very differently to each other, right down to the attitude of the players.

Maybe after having read other people's reports from other venues, I was just expecting a bit more...

That's fair enough, just don't do a melb_swan012 and not join the club next year over it

We all have our own expectations of events, she hated the Melb family day, I quite enjoyed it. But then it was the first time since the GF that I had got together with a group of Swans supporters to enjoy the win
