PALMYRA LEADS RUGBY COMMUNITY INTO BRAVE NEW WORLD

[travelling_gerry]

Beer will still be available at the bar with the payment by vCash.

Take a harder stance with the idiots that have caused the problem, don't spoil it for the average punter who enjoys a coule of beers at a rugby game. Sorry but this is really nonsense. Or is it an early April fool & I've been sucked in??

Hook, line and sinker Fulvio.....I'll drink to that

[TOCC]

Yes noble, but surely if there were issues they could have just limited the alcohol served to light alcohol and no spirits, or alternatively enforced the gimme rule of 'reserve the right to refuse service to intoxicated patrons'.

[brokendown gunfighter]

the baits off the hook & they are still biting!

[shasta]

This is starting to rival the AFL grand final ticket scam.....well a little anyway.

[WF1964]

Live in the area, never heard of the Melville Courier....

[GIGS20]

It's one of the smaller papers, delivered to a select group of elite residents in the area. Probably has a subscription of less than 2000. But known to break the big local stories very quickly. Unfortunately, at times, has been found to miss the mark in some of it's articles.

It has NEVER been forced to print a retraction though!

[GIGS20]

I guess this means all your French players will be going to Neddies now Fulv.

Actually neddies are doing the drink safe thing, aren't they?

How about Cott.......nah, they'd never get a game with all the Force players there.... the whole season in the bar........still getting paid........yeah, that's where they'll end up!

[Rucking Good]

What is the world coming to - Saturday afternoon watching rugby with not a beer in sight - no wonder non of the Force players want to be there. Hymns and a blessing at halftime though by a guest Hillsong minister will be the highlight though.

[palitu]

would joondalup ancients be allowed their port at half time?

[fulvio sammut]

Not at Tompkins, it seems ...

[fulvio sammut]

the baits off the hook & they are still biting!

Not only that, but they're leaping into the boat!!

[GIGS20]

Even hints that a 'small, exclusive local paper' might have made it all up didn't help.

[GIGS20]

I'm apoplectic at this short-sighted and draconian decision from the purported intelligentsia from Tompkins. It appears that they're dragging the club from their rightful place as knuckle dragging alcoholics into the realms of knuckle dragging tetotallerdom.

How the he'll are they going to attract players to their junior club now.....we all know they only played there for mad Monday!
