Shute Shield 2017

Hopefully that might mean that Channel 7 will put more resources into the production.

SRU gets the gate.
Norths get the catering & bar takings is my understanding.

Let's hope that there might be some sort of plan to make this the permanent home for Grand Final day.

In years gone past the North Sydney Council kept the bar and catering takings. Happy to be corrected about current arrangements.

 

[Done that]

Norths won the rights to host the game, as I understand it. I would assume that they would keep the takings. But I sit to be corrected.

No, not Norths Rugby Club , but North Sydney Council who paid the SRU for the rights. The SRU also get the gate takings. Money from the bar & food etc. goes to North Sydney Council. North Sydney Council also pay for the overheads, e.g. security staff etc.

As an aside, does anyone know what has become of the secret that is the Catchpole medal?

Catchpole Medal Dinner is on Tuesday night this week.

 

[Flavio]

Was a great afternoon, however the catering was a fuck*ng disgrace. 45 minutes to get a beer, last year there were can bars but apparently these arent allowed anymore and they got hit with 30k of fines.

I like the idea of having a fenced off area with food etc

For a stadium that sits idle for most of the year it's always going to be a massive struggle to feed and hydrate one off crowds of 16000.

Any visibility on Channel 7 ratings for the game yet? Watched it on TV and was a terrific advertisement for rugby. Hopefully plenty of other non rugby types happened you flick it on.

 

[Araluenian]

Did we ever get an official crowd figure for Saturday? All the reports just seemed to say "around 20,000".

 

[southsider]

How was the car parking? I know concord isn't flash but I'd imagine north Sydney would be far worse?

People actually talking about rugby at work: Shute shield!

I do but on what i saw - which was way short of the whole season - he might have scored enough at other times: how many games did he miss?

I don't exactly know how many - thought possibly 4-5?

 

[Rugby Addict]

Adams and Miller should both do well.

Smokie - Paula Balakana (Gordon) - very difficult for a winger to win such an award but he was outstanding all year - 22 tries for the year.

Too many I agree.
Hmmm.
At the risk of seeming like a Norths supporter what I saw of Duffy until Saturday was pretty impressive.

Ok - well its pretty clear I dont know anything about this and going on the last few weeks of form is not a sound approach.
Did you think the celebrations of a certain club's colts after Sunday's games was slightly over the top? The ABs werent as keen on themselves after RWC2015.

I think the Randwick 3rd Colts were pretty pleased with themselves
