Scott Penn

[Mitch]

Just wringing the water out of my jacket on my way home from Brookie and I just wanted to give Penn a rap.

There was deadset only diehards on the hill tonight and while he cops plenty, Scott was doing the rounds on the hill only happy to chat and thank those in attendance.

 

[The Wheel]

So was Tony Abbot

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Now that Tim's gone, he will have to do more of that stuff.

Did you ask him about the scoreboard? The rest of the ground? Did he just smile and wave and keep walking?

Seriously have to wonder how long they can keep putting money into it with crowds like that.

 

[Dan]

That's pretty good, he didnt have to do that, and to be honest it was sopping wet, I wouldn't have even wanted to go outside at all in that rain

 

[Chip and Chase]

Was Hugh there to acknowledge the #thankhugh round ??

Mate to be honest I spoke a bit of footy with him. He thanked us for coming out in the pouring rain and for that I give him credit.

come on realistically no stadium would have had any better crowds in those conditions on a Friday night

 

[Harvies elbow]

Other clubs would've bumped that crowd figure up to 6000 or 7000.
Anyway good on him getting out there.

Roosters would have had it at 7800.

Roosters would have had it at 7800.

and everyone dressed in brown paper bags

 

[Shoe1]

Good job Scott

 

[Class of 96]

Roosters would have had it at 7800.

With 2 heads for each body, I guess they count that as double.

Nice to see a personal touch like that. Tonight it was unforgiving on the hill. IN all my years of going to Brooky, I have never seen rain like that.

I remember my dad telling me of a game like that against Newtown in the late 70's, it was his first Rugby League match after moving from the UK and that is the moment and match where he fell in love with the Sea Eagles and Rugby League

 

[Snake]

The things is, clubs don't make money from gate taking anyway. As long as the game is making billions from sponsorship and TV rights, we'll be fine. The club operates at a loss to host the game, but get more than enough back from grants.

Goon on Penn for getting out there and connecting with the fans.

 

[Pittwater Legend]

That's a classy touch by Scott. Well done

 

[The Who]

Does he ever visit the Hill in decent weather? Tonight was only the second time I've wimped out and bought a seat in the Menzies-Fulton Stand. I would have like to ask Scott the real story behind Snake and Matai's medical clearance.

 

[ALinda]

Never thought Penn would lower himself but good on him, I'm impressed
And thanks for sharing it @Mitch

He was with Abbott in the Jane Try stand

Did you thank him and Tony for the wonderful grandstand on the hill which kept everyone out of the rain?
