We are getting lots of questions about a place to watch the Preliminary Final with fellow Raiders fans... if you're not at the Preliminary Final.

Canberra - We suggest West Belconnen Leagues Club unless anyone wants to organise an alternative GH Chapter location.

Brisbane - looking for a location.
Sydney - Star City Casino Sports Bar the suggested location.
Hunter - Wests Lambton Sports Bar the suggested location.
London - Walkabout (somewhere?)

I'm sure in Brisbane they'll be showing the game at the Broncos Leagues Club. They'd probably welcome a group of Raiders supporters.

GE is going to scope the pub out for us - if we spill out the front and across the road then so be it, I am sure they can fit 300 raiders fans though

Anyone who wants to thank me for organising this should also thank Steve as well - I like beer (not Carlton) and Steve drinks $500 a bottle wine, so maybe just a pint for me and a yarn eh, that would be great

I'm stuck in Phillip until 7pm and then will be looking to make a mad dash to a club. Thinking either Woden Tradies (convenient because I can walk across the road from the rink) or Weston Raiders. Guessing both would be packed, any recommendations for the better option?

Richmond club hotel is a big place but as bay 53 said earlier the design is a bit clustered. Im not sure upstairs would hold 300 but the entire pub would. There is a little courtyard out the back too for memory. Should be ok.

You haven't met me, does that make me a not fantastic person? Is that how logic works?

Does anyone know which bays are "ours"?

By the look of the AAMI park map it was Bay 9 and 78?

Are there plans to get the Viking Clap going?

Cheers TW.

Our seats in in Bay 78. Hopefully there is enough of us in there and the surrounding bays to have a sea of green.

Looking forward to coming to the pub on Saturday. They will easily fit everyone, I think pubs in Richmond are used to having big pre-football crowds!!

On the subject of other venues, I can certainly recommend the casino in Sydney. It screen there is like watching a game in a movie theatre.

I detest the Richmond Club Hotel. A squishy tight layout full of w@nkers with popped collars.
Having said that, I wouldn't miss this for all the tries in Rapana
