RFC Family Day 2014 - Feb 16th @ Punt Rd

[RFC_Official]

Can someone explain to me the logic behind "Fans are being encouraged to register their details via the form below."

What's the point exactly, what's the benefit 

Some folks just decide on the day to turn up so why the need to or "encouragement" to register?

Lost on me I'm afraid

Hoping to get an idea on the numbers coming. The first year we held it back here we had more numbers than we expected.

[1980 I Was There]

I went to the fireworks that were outside the MCG on new years eve.
We got off at Jolimont and walked down to Punt rd oval to have a look, which was a long walk.

Is getting off at Jolimont station the easiest way to get to the family day or is it easier to go into flinders st and get onto another train there.
Can't remember the way, it's been thirty years since I went past the jolimont station to anywhere else.

We are coming from the south morang line.

Jolimont is a shorter walk than West Richmond station imo

[Penelope]

yeah, but richmond station is closer than both

Jolimont to the Punt Road Oval is not a long walk.

But if there is a reason that walking is a problem (old age or with young kids etc) then stay on the train and get off at Flinders St Station and catch a train to Richmond which is across the road from the PRO.

Not on the Doreen line though

[Penelope]

you do know you can a train right into the city and change lines?

That takes ages. Some people can't bear the extra 20 mins sitting down. Think about others for once instead of just yourself.

[1980 I Was There]

Yeah looks like a bit of hard work going into the city and swapping trains and then having to do the same to get back home.

I got three little Tiger cubs, well not too little, but I reckon the little buggers can hoof it from jolimont.

Cheers for the help guys

two choices, walk the distance or take the time.
pretty simple really.

If they cant bear to sit down the extra twenty, nor bear the extra 10 minute walk,then what?

perhaps you could think of others and drive him in?

That sounds like a lot of fun.

I'm going to buy the kids a small Tigers footy from rebel sports, gonna take that to get a few signatures on it.

Thanks for the thought 

[1980 I Was There]

Does anybody know what players are going to be there.

Last time I saw any kind of footy player appearances was up in QLD.
My daughter was doing auskick and they said a couple of brissy lions players were coming to pay a visit.

Trouble was, the two players that turned up, weren't anybody special, in fact I didn't even know who they were and they signed my daughters cap, knobs .

Every player on the list will be there and some former players TBD.

Yeah they'll be fine, only about 500 metres or so from Jolimont to the ground
