Supporter Groups for Interstate Matches

[45HG 1,559]

I'd like to set up a thread so we can post where we'll be watching interstate matches, or for interstate fans to let people know where they'll be watching matches.

I think it'd be good to have groups of fans getting together to watch the interstate matches, a good way of meeting people and following the boys with a few likeminded fans.

I know the club does this at Bentleigh/Leighoak, so that's one venue.

A group of fans, the mini-ox squad, usually go to the St Kilda Bowls club.

Myself and a few other guys will be watching at the Recreational Hotel (a pub/restaurant) on Queen's Parade which serves some pretty good food too.

I think this is a great suggestion. I am Treasurer of the Canberra Demons, and I hope we could use this thread to post advance notice of any after game functions for those travelling interstate as well.

I also believe Brisbanites venture to the Pineapple to watch the games as well, though this may need confirmation.

I'd love if we could set up designated places where fans could watch.

Another great spot for sport is the Charles Dickens Tavern on Collins St.

Indeed, this is now where I'll be watching the game tomorrow.

If anyone else have places they watch the games at, feel free to add the details in this thread so we can watch our boys play in numbers

Queenslanders have this annoying habit of not wanting to attend these sort of things very often. I have tried numerous times to set up days like this and get perhaps 4 or 5 if I am lucky!! Am currently working on a plan to get "game day hosts" throughout Qld. Working like this.. find a hotel that has foxtel/austar and let me know. I will put it up on the website which is about to launch in the next week and then people can contact this person. So we need volunteers willing to be at the venue most weeks if not all, and that will be willing to field calls from supporters in the area.

Not sure if it will work but if any queenslanders know of a pub ( and yes the Pineapple does play games) and would like to be part of the new plan, then please PM me and we can work something out.

Doesnt matter where in Qld - it just needs a "leader" and paytv as thats where we seem to be featured 95% or more of the season.

good work demondeb keep persisting. I would imagine it would be great to sit amongst fellow supporters and cheer on the team together and enjoy a meal etc. I am fortunate enough to see it on foxtel for interstate matches. But when i get the chance i will enjoy this alternative. even with the family.
