Ground Announcement at 3pm

$2.5-Million when they are going to spend more than $1-Billion on sporting grounds in the west.
Big deal! What will that pay for? A couple of new coffee carts?
Politicians are not serious about creating a modern stadium on the northside of Sydney. Patching up Brookie is not the answer.

Sadly you are 100% right.

Dude, you are always welcome to sit on my quilted rug on the hill. 🙂

Thanks, but The Hill is the next Manly icon to go 🙁

On a positive note, it should yield some nice topsoil for the playing surface for several years to come.

I can't give you an estimate right now, I'm too busy playing ultimate frisbee.

Are you also on the ground throwing a boomerang with steve and walking around the hill selling fresh peanuts?

Wish i was there today

 

[tookey]

At least we didn't lose today

Those were the days.

I sold cornettos for one game in about 1982. Terrible job. Hard to watch the game while trying to flog the ice creams at twice the price of shops.

My mate got busted for selling lemonade and cola cans out of the esky box (worn at the waist with a strap going over one's head). He had bought them at a supermarket for about 80c and was getting $1.50 for them.

The bloke who had the concession kept most of the money. I was about 13 years old.

Yep, apparently the Penns found footage from the 90s of somebody on the hill with a Toovey banner, so they have ordered that it must go.

Hang on I'll ask Zorba

Hey why were you even talking to that fat ****?

 

[Wombat64]

Our stadium is one of the ****test in the comp. Sitting in the family hill has the ****test view especially if ur sitting at the bottom of it. And you got to pay like double to go sit on the seats with a good view. The most annoying thing is the titans who have halve the number of members and fans than us have one of the best stadiums in the comp. How does that work?

I love Brooky. Always have. Always will. So many good memories.

Those were the days, steve was a good friend of my family. i used to sit front row in the southern stand and help throw the shredded newspaper from garbage bags every time manly
scored.

Ever get a chance to go to Singapore & a free evening - Go do the raffles upstairs in the long bar. Peanut in the shell heaven. Drinks are pricey but hell your worth it...

 

[DYEagle]

Does this mean the seats will be extra soft?

Yes... a bit like our defence this year.

Was that the little guy with a missing hand? He used to say peanuts in the shell or sugar coated 20 cents peanuts

 

[skull61]

Get ya double on the main game $20 for 20c

I don't remember the missing hand part. I do remember the man of Southern European origin that used to sell the peanuts (I think he was the peanuts man).
