Public Transport - Northern Beaches bus services for NRL semi-final?

OK as we are the home Semi team for Saturday’s NRL Semi (against the Sharks) are the NRL confirming transport options for the Northern Beaches (Sydney/STA buses) as they did last year and in previous years?

See article below.

One of the major problems with Allianz/Moore Park is a good direct (fast) public transport option from the Northern Beaches as parking is a complete nightmare. You pay to park in a car park and then get stuck in that car park for an hour after the game!!

The Semi Final is NOT listed as an event on Friday :huh:

So we will need to pay for a Supporters Bus again

The NRL is a joke. Not only will nothing be done to get fans to the game from Manly/Warringah and Cronulla/Sutherland areas, but being Sydney's only game for the weekend, the NRL should be getting free/additional public transport arranged right across all of Sydney & encouraging all RL fans no matter who they support to come to the game.

Swans and AFL did it on Saturday night.

They sometimes take a day or two to work out on demand or public opinion !! So emailing/calling and tweeting to the NRL will help …!!!

They ran these buses in 2011 for the game against Brisbane (Manly v’s Brisbane at Allianz/SFS).

Also the same in 2012 for the game against Nth Qld ((Manly v’s Nth Qld at Allianz/SFS).

So they surely must do the same in 2013???

Just making final confirmation on the buses now.

All things going to plan FREE buses will run from the Leagues Club to Moore Park commencing 4pm on FRiday.

Hopefully they will be running a return leg as well back to the club for post match celebration!

Your bus will be heading straight back to the Cronulla sharks trophy room where you will be sipping champagne coolies through a straw with the rest of your sharkies buddies
