Are you looking for a home away from home this season? A place where you can scream and barrack for the Gold Coast SUNS amongst other fanatical supporters?
Here is your solution. The Mackenzie’s Sports Bar at the Southport Sharks Football Club will be hosting every single away fixture LIVE this season to provide loyal SUNS fans with a place to gather and watch Gold Coast games away from Metricon Stadium.
As the club’s Patron Partner, the Southport Sharks contribute greatly to not only the Gold Coast SUNS, but the wider Gold Coast football community as well.
Don’t just watch the boys on the TV when they play away from home, experience the game day atmosphere at the Mackenzie’s Sports Bar.
Southport Sharks favourite son Rory Thompson, who had a burger named after him at the venue, applauded the Sunscreamers supporters group for their ongoing support of the football club.
“Because we’re a new club we obviously don’t have the long term support of other clubs,” Thompson told SUNS TV at the Sunscreamers night at the Mackenzie’s Sports Bar.
“For them to start that up and just be as passionate as they are and come down to away games and get us up down there - they’re a big part of our group.”
SUNS spearhead Charlie Dixon, a north Queensland native, believes a meeting spot such as this is a great way to experience the game during away fixtures.
“Southport always put on a good show for us and anyone who’s apart of us. I can imagine it being an unreal game day experience being away from the game,” Dixon told SUNS TV.
“Especially being in Queensland and being rugby league (heartland), it’s good having somewhere where people can go and watch the game amongst AFL fans and be able to cheer on us.”
Mackenzie’s Sports Bar will reward dual members through exclusive food and beverage offers at the venue on away matches, including the ENORMOUS new ‘Rory Burger’ and lattice fries for just $13.50, and Carlton Draught schooners for $5.
All GC SUNS members over the age of 18 are entitled to a FREE Southport Sharks membership, which can be redeemed by simply presenting your GC SUNS membership card to the front reception desk at Southport Sharks.
