Message: [QUOTE="Huge, post: 2535160, member: 1992"] As I've written before I was at the first GF in 1992. I had queued for hours to buy tickets, bad seating tickets (obstructed views ) early one morning at a shopping centre. They sold out as I breasted the counter but I convinced a scalper kid to sell me two for a massive $300 for the pair. My buddy was flying in from Townsville so I had to get some no matter what the cost, he simply said earlier he had faith in me so I couldn't let him down. He'd already booked and paid for the flight without even knowing we had them ! The night before we got on the #iss and woke the day of the game sick as dogs but headed for the game. At the gates we encountered scalpers with handfuls of good tickets they couldn't unload and were selling them at face value, $42.50 from memory ! The seats we had were behind the dead ball line and pretty crap but amazingly they turned out to be sensational in the second half. We were facing the Broncos who came at us all second half which is when the Broncos did the bulk of their scoring. The try to Cann was right into our faces followed up by the brilliant 90 metre try to Renouf. It was then that I understood how fluent Renouf was. Following that Cann scored again, again straight into us. If he kept going my mate and I would have had to tackle him ! I didn't realise it at the time but we were there on an historic day and until Alzheimer's gets me Ill remember it. Of course I can still look at the admission ticket if I need a memory prompt !
