Christmas Fans' Training Night
4:26 PM Tue 4 December, 2007

Come and watch the Tigers train in one of their last sessions before the Christmas break on Friday, December 14 starting at 3.30pm!

Junior supporters can take part in a footy clinic run by our Connex Tigers in Schools coaches between 3.30pm to 4pm.

There will be a chance to purchase 2008 memberships and merchandise from the Tiger Den and enjoy a sausage or two at the AFG sausage sizzle.

Players will be available for a short time after training for autographs and photographs, followed by a special appearance from Santa Claus and Tiger Stripes.

Parking is available at Yarra Park through Gate 7, Brunton Avenue entrance (normal fees apply).

Please note: There is no parking available from Punt Road entrances.

IIRC last year players were still mingling with fans and signing autographs at 6.30pm so they obviously cut it back yesterday. Perhaps the heat had a lot to do with it being a shorter fans night.

they had run a time trial earlier around the tan so training was always gonna be light and short.

i guess fan night was an afterthought.

Whilst training is important, that would be disappointing if true.
Plenty of fans want to know more about the new faces at the club.

That's right Magic. Training Night and Family Day are basically the only two days a year most supporters especially kids can get up close with their heroes. It's not like the VFL days where you could run out onto the ground after a game every Saturday arvo.

oops - sounds like a bit of a puss poor effort (in Kiwi).
Must admit I drove past abot 6:30 and was taken aback it was all empty.
Not good tiggys not good.
If you want to train , train - If you want to advertise a fans day then treat it as such.

Then again I wasn't there, so wtf would I know  :santa

Well everyone who went and was there all the time still seemed very pleased with it all.

Jack,

Which bit didn't I make clear  ::) ;D

Not happy that i got there and it was over. I thought I made that bit clear. I couldn't get there any earlier because I was at work. Fortunately I don't have kids because if I did they would have been disappointed.

It (the flyer) said it started at 3.30pm didn't say what time it was going to finish.


Well everyone who went and was there all the time still seemed very pleased with it all.

I am sure they were and that's great  - I am sure it was fantastic but for those people who couldn't get there early because of this pesky thing called work it was disppointing that by 6.00pm it was over.

Trying to get to Punt Road oval in peek hour traffic isn't the easiet thing in the world

As I said earleir in the week

Another non family friendly time for those of us who actually work for a livin >:(

Knowing my luck it will be over by the time I get there :P

See last comment - I was right

It started at 3.30 and obviously only went for 2 hours tops.

It really should've begun at 5pm so people could get there after work. Even the media ignored it yet Carlton, Hawthorn and North's ones were reported on.

I reckon 3 years ago, when Casey and Miller had the tiger executive group on the balcony entertaining guests etc It at least went till 7 and there were thousands there.
That was the night the players pushed the Combi Van around the oval

If they want a lot of people to show up then they should hold on a weekend.

Yes I remember that one Jackie

If they want a lot of people to show up then they should hold on a weekend.

For too much logic there.

I appreciate that cricket gets played at punt Road in summer, but surely they could have organised it better than 3.30pm on a Friday afternoon

Gourdis is a big lad. Barring injury there's no reason why he shouldn't debut next year.
