Footy is back on the Gold Coast and if that’s not reason enough for you to get down to Metricon Stadium this Saturday night, here are ten reasons why you don’t want to miss our first home game of the season.

4. MEMBER GIVEAWAYS AND REVAMPED MEMBERS LIGHT TOWER BAR

Where would we be without our members! So to acknowledge their support, we will be giving away a number of giveaways to those members in attendance. This includes the opportunity for a junior member to run out with the team, raise the flag, participate in a guard of honour on-field and WIN the Huawei match ball at the end of the game.

We have also revamped the Members Light Tower Bar for our 11-Game members (over 18 years) making it the perfect meeting point for members before, during and after all of our home games!

5. GOLD COASTER BOBBY ALU PERFORMING LIVE IN THE LIPTON ICE TEA CHILL ZONE

Bobby Alu, an accomplished songwriter & travelling musician born on the Gold Coast will be performing pre-game and half time on the Lipton Ice Tea Chill Zone sound stage. 

Be sure to expect a fresh, simple sound from a band that grooves like Withers, moves like Marley, charms like Harper but smooth like Fat Freddys.

6. FINAL SIREN ENTERTAINMENT

To thank those for coming to the game, our players will finish the game by handing out signed footy’s to those lined up along the fence line around the ground.

Then after the second final siren, everyone can test out their own skills by being allowed to participate in the United Petroleum Kick-to-Kick on the main field (weather depending).
