Hey
I have a Capn's m'ship and am sorry to say I haven't used it yet,
I have no one who will go with me! Can anyone tell me what the go is with the after match thingie?

After the game, one of the food courts on the ground level, is taken over by Collingwood members.

Presumably (as I have never been to one either) a couple of the club's officials and a couple of the players will make an appearance. At least one official will make a speech. Joffa (or someone else from the cheersquad) will sing the song.

Probably will not be any freebies available. Then people head off to getting something to eat, some to Rocca's restaurant. The rest go home.

Geez, maybe I should have left the response to someone else.

Rule 1. Barrack for Collingwood
Rule 2. See rule 1.
Rule 3. There is no rule 3.

CARN DE PIES!

yeh i too have a social club membership.
it says exclusive access to aftermatch functions and special events with players and staff, and also access to the social club facilities during home games.
I purchased the ticket more to do with the fact that you are guaranteed all finals tickets at cost.
I havent actually used the functions and social club part and dont exactly know where, or what this entitles.
So is it just as Greg says?

Mike - Missy's post came up as unregistered on my computer the other day. Seems alright now.

Speaking of After-match functions ... I wish they'd get a decent P.A.

I've been to three of these events so far this year and I haven't heard a damn thing each time. In a large room full of people you simply can't get away with a pissy little P.A. and a couple of tiny speakers.

And as much as you tell people to be quiet, there will always be the chatterboxes and people talking on their phones and people who are in high spirits after watching us win. They've gotta stop trying to do the sound system "on the cheap". What's the point hanging around for an hour or so after the game just to hear some inaudible mumbling from a few players.

At the very least they could train the guys in a bit of microphone technique. Or get a sound engineer who can pull a half-way passable vocal sound. It's not rocket science.
