Thanks Wedgie, what's a Season Complimentary Ticket Holder?

My guess would be media passes, sponsors passes, club official passes, etc.

Finals are not included on player/official season passes.....


For clubs involved they must get a pass only valid each week of the games they play

Thanks Wedgie, what's a Season Complimentary Ticket Holder?

Someone who has a ticket that says "you're looking hot, like a sunrise!" to them on a regular basis.

[MightyEagles]

That's for the Info Wedgie, esp. the info about what to do for the draw.

[Dutchy]

Crowd will be interesting, hope they draw a good crowd however with 4 of the bottom 5 drawing teams playing it might be time to borrow more tarps from Port Power!

[Booney]

Will be lucky to break 10,000.

[topsywaldron]

Will be lucky to break 10,000.

If they get 8,000 I'll be amazed.

[JK]

8,211, unless the missus cracks the shits and I dont go, in which case it'll be 8,210

[Wedgie]

Be lucky if they get 6k there IMHO. I certainly wouldnt be bothering if North werent there.

[fish]

Should be a few Norwood supporters there checking out the opposition I expect.

[fish]
