As long as the league is being played in the warmer months, I just can’t see matches being scheduled for before 5pm. Theres too much risk of it being dangerously hot at 3pm in any city on any date after the league kicks off.
5pm is a bit of a shitty slot too. Not ideal for TV viewers through dinner time and even with more food options in the stadium, when i consider all the options in a 5km radius around the stadium, its hardly the sort of grub I want to fork out for.
What, like every single cuisine under the sun?
Just my least favourite cuisine, grub a la bain marie. Its usually dry, luke warm, not fresh (cooked from a frozen) therefore making it over priced. If I’m paying for food, im not buying second rate.
Agreed.
Stadium needs more Chiko Rolls. I’m not impressed with these “gourmet sausage rolls and pies” and fancy dancy tomato sauces. If it ain’t a Mrs Mac (,thats piping hot on the outside and practically frozen in the middle), I’m taking it back.
So eat before / after. You’ve literally highlighted a 5km radius, right at your fingertips. Which was my original point.
Plenty of the stadium options are actually very good (when they are open).
I’m more talking the family friendliness of a 5pm ko time. I do it eat before or after. Kids though, are a bit more difficult.
They probably would also relish the opportunity to eat stadium food.
Coincidentally the missus just sent me this from today’s social feed. We finally made footy scran (but fuck Hemmes still).
Those pizzas are great.
Never tried one as they always look like too much dough.
Edit: by dough I mean pizza base. But being a Hemmes joint, dough meaning moolah also works.
Hehe I did see that this morning whilst on my morning bog fb scroll.
It’s more of a foccaccia but still probably the best thing in the stadium.
Super rugby draw released (runs 14Feb thru June for finals)
https://super.rugby/superrugby/documents/media-files/super-rugby-pacific-match-schedule-2025/
Only clash weekend is our second last game against Auckland where the Tahs play the night before. Otherwise we’ve got 1-2wks of ground recovery.
Think the NRL draw comes out mid- November.
I was just going over the first matches of the season and it looks like the team will be accumulating the frequent flyer points. Sydney to Hiroshima to Auckland to Brisbane to Sydney. Within a 20 day time frame.
Ha, the Hiroshima game is on my Birthday.
Interesting.
Don’t suppose you wanna tell us your mothers maiden name and the name of your first pet?
Braun and Blondi
HT in a friendly against the jets. Up 2-1. Goals to Lolly and Klimala.
Edit: full strength 11 as well.
