    Social Club?

    Hey all I am headed over for the game on Sunday and hold a membership with social club benefits and was just looking for some more info on what exactly that involves. It mentions there is something on in the victory room at Telstra dome?

    Any info would be really appreciated. There is absolutely no information on the club website.

    The Victory room is on the ground floor. It is mainly just a bar with a big screen etc.
    It might be an idea if those of us from WOOF with social club memberships pop in before the game for a drink and a chat.

    I usually rush out the door after the game, but I think you can go in there afterwards? Can someone confirm or deny this?

      I took the SC upgrade last season. I like it, a comfortable environment, value for money with a good feed, proper cutlery, no half-cold overpriced crap. They have players interviewed, and a big screen of the ground. I think it's good. Never tried after a game. Not sure if it's open then.

        How long before the game starts do you get there?

          Try to get there about an hour before. Messed up last week, got there late, but yeah, usually about an hour. Nice relaxing way to start the day, before the madness begins!

            It's open after the game if we have won (thus the Victory Room). After a victory a couple of players and sometimes Rocket himself swing by to talk to the members (from the stage) and answer a few questions and sign a few autographs. This normally happens 20-30 minutes after the end of the game (after the players have their post-match address from the coach and shower and change).

            Sometimes Smorgo drops by as well. It's usually just your usual q + a but there are sometimes some good insights to be had re: injuries and training loads.

              Thanks for that. I intend to get along before the game for a beer (or a water depending on how the night before goes ) would be keen to catch up with any other forumites that are around.

                I think Coon Dog has a WOOF sign that he can put up so we know where to find you all - doesn't have to be pre arranged - just whoever rocks up.

                  I did have, but sadly I don't anymore. Also, TCP plays footy on Sunday & won't finish until about 1.45pm so I won't be there until about 1/4 time.

                  If we had something like a WOOF cap it may be easier to identify one another.

                          That's where I've seen that style of beard before. It was on sale to all of the women in the stoning scene of "The Life of Brian""

                              Re: Social Club?

                              Thought Id resurrect this one because I have a general social club query.

                              Is anyone dropping their social club next year? If we/you had the mindset of not making Top 4/Grand Final in the ends it's a (roughly) $100 donation to the club, not something I am too bothered about.

                              But besides the entry to the social club pre and after the game & grand final tickets it seems non-beneficial. There was a big event last year (or early this year?) which was very open (even without social club you could have gotten in) and could have been handled a lot better.

                              Why isn't there more social club events on? Would be nice to do that Herald Sun Panel Night every 6 months or so (we did one a couple years ago and it was brilliant) - but I know that would be involve Herald Sun participating aswell..
