Why wouldn't they hold it in Brisbane?

Not good.

Carlton people on the Gold Coast too...great venue...wish I could go.

Hope they run a shuttle bus for the hour long trip to the Gabba.

I've walked some fairly long distances after a few brews, but I think wandering from Southport to the Gabba is pushing the friendship a little.

Not sure they've thought this one through.

And yes, I'm sure there are CFC fans on the GC, but if they're that keen, I imagine they'd want to attend the game.

"I had to eat"

Apologies for making things so difficult to understand.

We thought it was quite self evident that the function was in surfers and the game in brisbane, since there is a three hour gap between the end of the function and the start of the game anyone could wander over to the game by car, taxi, waterski or helicopter with plenty of time to spare.

Indeed many of the speakers and guests at the function will be attending the game, so keep an eye out for Southby, Rhys-Jones, Buckley and Perovic at the game as well.

We will attempt to make things much clearer in further correspondence so that those unable to understand can comprehend the message as well as the other members of the carlton supporting community.

So there's no shuttle bus?

Yes, in fact there will be a bus that will take people from the gold coast to the game, it will leave at approximately 4:30pm and arrive at the Gabba at about 6pm.

The bus will wait at the game and after the game patrons can again board the bus back to the gold coast.

I hope this answers your query, if there are any more questions please let me know.

You better get busy then verbs and purchase a ticket!

Looking less likely. Would have to catch a train to Robina at about 10.00am and then a bus to Southport to get the shuttle back to Brisbane in time for the game at 6pm.

The information sent to Qld members was pretty clear. Also suggested that you could watch the game at Southport if you couldn't get tickets to the match (or ended up too plastered to attend, ha ha). Can't make this one due to other arrangements but will plan to attend something similar if held again the next time the Blues play up here

Good one Lowey_47!

The Spirit of Carlton always attempt to look after local fans all around the country, we look forward to the next time you attend one of our functions.

First I've heard of it. I definitely would buy a ticket if it was at the Port Office.
