Sydney game pre match meet up

[Demongirl35 1,044]

Hi all!

I’m heading up to Sydney for round 0 and wondering who else on here is going too?

There’s no organised pre match meet up as demon army will be busy getting everything ready and nsw demons not being able to do so either being a Thursday night.

I’d love to organise a meet up place with any other demon fans going up during the day and have a few pre game drinks if anyone Is interested :)

Myself and 25 mates from Torquay starting at the London Hotel in Paddington.

Approx 23 minute walk to the SCG.

How many pubs you Pass????😁

Thanks for initiating the question. It warms my heart to think of Melbourne supporters flooding into Sydney for the match. 
Typically there would be an event beforehand, but not the case for this Thursday night fixture. 

Considering the location, there are not a heap of options on the southern and western sides of the SCG. The best one is Watson's in the Entertainment Quarter. Otherwise, the numerous Paddington pubs Bat and Ball, Captain Cook, etc. on-route from the north and east. 

All options will likely be crawling with plucky Swans supporters wearing #4 (Grundy) jumpers...

This match must be close to sold out. The DA gets an allocation from the opposition at away games, this varies with each team. The Swans have already asked us to finalise our numbers soon which means they’ll ask for unused tickets and that usually signals a sellout.

Smart move 👍🏽 Don’t forget… we don’t sit behind the goals at the SCG. We’re just around from the goals, in the pocket. ♥️💙

I hear ya. I was concussed last year by an Izak Rankine ball to the head. I wasn’t knocked unconscious but I had double-vision for a few minutes. It’s why I call Bay M3 the Bay of Carnage. 😁

Sounds good, we'll sort something out!

I'm sitting in the Melbourne area, but not via Demon Army, but I have a feeling it's the same place.

[leave it to deever 17,511]

[danielE288 778]

Weel done to those who are travelling for the game, never been to the SCG but seems like a great place to watch footy.

[BrisbaneDemon 1,572]

I’m heading down from Brisbane for the game, I always try and get to the first game of the year.  Never been to the SCG before.  Keen for any suggestions for decent pubs close to the ground, I’ll be waiting on a swans supporter to finish work so I’ll be drinking solo somewhere 🤣

Members of the Demon Army who aren’t involved in pregame setting up will be at Watson’s EQ, as well as after the match along with those who stay back to pack up who’ll be there a little later.

If you do decide to go, don’t worry about not knowing anyone there. You’ll be warmly welcomed by an awesome bunch of crazy beautiful Dees diehards. 

[danielE288 778]

I might do that
