Meh. I can't find my voice sitting on my own. There is some spare time between knocking off work and the start of the game so I guess it's a great opportunity to get the lawns and stuff in
Take a blow up Dad with you..
Maybe rent a Dad...
LOL
He's actually more upset than me. He moved back down here from Brisbane just last year to see more footy. The bloke bleeds Richmond. He used to run the supporters club in Brisbane. In one year ('99 I think?) he got together with the other supporters clubs up there to put on a family day sort of thing, with stalls, rides, other crap, and get people to buy interstate memberships for their clubs. It was a pretty big hit, but due to the council they couldn't do it the next year. Even that year (remember it's a rugby town) the council kept throwing down things to try and stop it. They ended up saying it couldn't go ahead without a $5000 fee for insurance. After contacting all the clubs for a hand, it was only St. Kilda that came to the call. And for that, when Brisbane representatives came down to the event they were told to bugger off. They in turn told their players not to turn up. But Leppa and a few others came anyway and said "don't tell anyone we're here!"
. Leppa volunteered to go into the dunking machine and they made a killing off everyone young and old wanting a shot at putting the big ranga in the drink.
But ending the cool story... he's spewing. Moved here to watch the Tigers and his missus gets crook. She had another operation last week and starts chemo soon, so hopefully there is some light and he'll be able to get to some regular games.
