    Where was the aftre match

    Last nite was - after the final game where was the after match function, got to the back of the Noble and nothing but bewildered members wondering why the After match as part of your membership is no more. Ruined a good nite

    There hasn't been an aftermatch following a night game all season. But no end of season bash this year was a bit sad!

        They removed yet another nice thing for the members, and now they make you trail out to Kings Cross. On a Saturday Night. Not bloody likely. Complain

          There was an invitation only function to honour the 3 retirees.

            Nope. Nothin' at the Club either. Just some old drunks playing pokies and 2 screens of English soccer and one of Rugby League. Quite a few arrive expecting "something" but no cigar (at least while i was there).

              There was an announcement at the ground saying there would be no after match function but I only heard it once and it was during the warm up along with the warning about balls travelling over the boundary fences (the wording of which never fails to amuse me), so easy to miss.

                Missed both announcements. 2nd one would have been helpful given the number of OOBOTFs. It would have been nice to repeat the first one after the match - but maybe they were a bit embarrassed. Poor form!

                  I was a bewildered member but at least I got to see that fabulous view of the SCG.

                    Function at the Chairmans Club in the VT Stand - all the players and legends about. First time I've bothered going to the after match this year so a little surprised it wasn't in the Noble per previous occasions.

                      We were lucky enough to be watching the game from the Chairman's function, quite a few past players were there for the day and just about all the players were there after the game.
                      It was nice to see Barry Hall after the game, he was looking quite relaxed and smiling and happily chatting with everyone. For those on that side of the ground, was he in there with the other past players to see the players run out? We couldn't see who was there from where we were sitting.

                      I've uploaded some photos that JS has taken over the last couple of months for those who are interested

                          We went to the x in hope of an aftermatch, but there was nothing on.

                          Very disappointed.
                          Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
                          Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

                            Were members allowed in at the Chairmans Club?

                              We were there with a club sponsor.
                              I'm not sure if any member can buy a ticket to the Chairmans club aftermatch or if the tickets are only available to sponsors and coterie (sp?) groups etc. it isn't a 'free' aftermatch
