Re: Who was there? - Round 21, 1997, Whitten Oval, Saturday August 23, Western Bulldogs vs West Coast Eagles
One of my strangest ever games. I ran into one of my cousins before the game. He said he'd bought a couple of joints with him and we should go for a toke
Anyway it was wet so we had to find a dry spot that was out of the way. We asked one of the caterers if we could quickly use the back of a catering truck. The deal was he'd have a quick puff and then get out and shut the rear door of the van until we banged on the door to let us out. Long story short he saw a policeman walking towards him and got an attack of paranoia (it was my cuz's primo homegrown gear) so he ran away leaving us locked in the van. The police officer heard us banging on the back door and opened it himself. We were lucky enough to be able to talk our way out of the "funny smell" that hit him when he opened the back of the van but while we were doing it we missed the start of the game.
Luckily enough the fight didn't start until we had staggered back to our spot in the crowd.
