    Whilst in Melbourne

    In Melbourne at present, went to the basketball and found perhaps the only Out of Towner Force supporter in Melbourne

    Gave him the whole force website (left the business cards behind)

    Went to a pub to watch the Glory game and this Waratah fan said he is about to switch to becoming a Force noob with his brother, they live in Sydney.

    Mr Egan is converting many of the Eastern States to the mighty Force



    They took the website, so if you are browsing the forum say gday.

    Proudly supporting the whole force forum

    No worries guys.

    Told the Sydney noobs about the plans of Exile's as well. They may come on at a later date...they want to come to Perth sometime. So I suggested they come over for a Force game.

    Perhaps you could ask TWF management for a retainer or for expenses, while you go on your round-the-country member recruitment campaign

    I should...

    Gotta promote the Force and by getting them to join the forum, it is beneficial to retain eastern states supporters particularly those in Melbourne.

    The Whole Force will be a great outlet for these people.

    I wonder how many of the eastern states supporters think Force will be a force in 2007??

    I'm another OOT Force member in Melbourne as of this year (though not the one you met at the b'ball). Haven't received the membership pack yet. hopefully it's not too far away.

    At this stage I'm planning on heading over to Perth in 2008 to see a game or two. In the meantime there's the (now annual) trial game in Melbourne v the Crusaders @ MC Labour Park on Jan 19. Last year there were about 10,000 @ Olympic Park for the trial game, mostly ex-pat Kiwis (heaps of mad Canterbury fans, surprise, surprise).

    I was at Olympic Park last year, the urinals in the corporate section have a head high window so you can watch while making room for more beer. That's the kind of vision I hope our planner havbe when building us a new ground!

    Went to a pub in Brisbane, "The Regatta" I think, where the men's urinals are a full wall sheet of one way mirror looking out over the restaurant/beer garden!
    Takes a bit of getting used to I must say, especially when chicks in the know look "at you" and laugh as they walk past outside
    Second best I reckon is the Little Creatures one in Freo, looking out over the brewery.
    Sorry, back to topic.......
