Does anybody know what is going on in Sydney to welcome the boys home?

According to this, it is today:

Any news on a ticket-tape parade for our champions??? Gonna take an annual leave day off (or any other type of leave) to be there....

The 2005 parade was one of my highlights, but have heard nothing this time around.

I've heard it's Friday but no announcement from the club as yet.

They probably want to wait and see when the NRL Premiers want to do their parade thru Sydney streets....

Oh, hang on a minute....

Settle petals. 2005 was the first in 72 years. This is only, what, seven years later. the NRL don't get street parades, don't expect the AFL in sydney to get one either. Onward and upward to the CC Dinner. I have NO idea who is going to win anything anymore.

Would have thought it would have been announced by now (assuming we get one)? When was the 05 parade held?

**pirouette** · 1st October 2012, 09:12 PM

I'm pretty sure the '05 one was the Friday after the game, but I could be wrong

**ugg** · 1st October 2012, 09:19 PM

Friday is the Club Champion Dinner, would they do both events on the same day?

Agree. The 2005 win was 'unique' hence the street parade. Happily that victory is no longer an only child, with the downside that a street parade would likely not be under consideration this time around.

I agree with you Prims. It would b great to have a parade but I don't expect there to be one and surely if there were, we would have heard by now.
