A huge thanks go to Phil (Wild Thing), who was unable to attend a corporate enclosure at Sydney v Mariners at SFS last Sunday. Phil had won it, but was going to be away, so in a marvellous spirit of bonhomie, he offered it to Rosanna and I to use to reward those who helped with our recent working bee.
Needless to say, it was keenly accepted. The 12 who could make it were Alice Allan, Crowy and son, Recko, Howler, Blackbeard, Toe and (soon to be) Mrs Kathy Toe, Banker, Muzz Netheim, Mickledildo and Hat.
We travelled by train and in true Relics style had a few cold ones during the walk from Central to the SFS. We did the Relics proud, being first into the corporate area, first to open the eski (against policy but nobody told us about RSA!) and
last to leave the ground. There was even enough good red wine for Alice, Wheats and me to be content. The lady? security Nazi told us to be quiet when we were the only ones left in the stadium except for the unused players who were exercising. We were no where near as noisy as the Cove earlier, and the Mariners subs appreciated our encouragement. The food and drink were great, and lots of it. In the spirit of carmeraderie for which the Relics are widely known, we even all showered together on the way home !!
