maybe you should ask our opinions before announcing it
SAD was a result of a discussion betwen the marinators

He's taking the initiative and I fully support it. Top idea. I thought Jesus was a Pirate. Aren't the gospels Matthew, Luke, John and Blackbeard??

Settle.Great idea and Im sure people will get involved but for dedication days etc we just throw them out there and see what comes of them and collectively we make plans.Were big enough now that we have to plan things like banners and the Fanzine etc but more ideas are always welcome big fella

I personally don't think we should have too may dedication day type events! To have them less often is better in my opinion as they can quickly become boring and people will get less involved.
Still a good suggestion however don't get me wrong, but against bling I think we should just resume normal service!
Player days are a great idea, I think the team and Heffo really responded well on Sunday

I agree with DJ, Sydney should just be service as normal. Maybe at the Sydney game we could hand out fliers in and around bay 16 to tell people of the pirate day in the future, so non forumites know what's happening.
I hate to say it but when the Cove comes to town we have to be as cohesive as possible, cant have a few crazy pirates going in a different direction to the masses.
Great idea though, keep them coming!

when i first read: i thought he meant he was going to be working in a canteen, and i misread bandanas as bananas, so it made the next sentence: really quite funny. geez, i am tired.

we used to put on car (hot rod) cruise days for canteen, used to get a heap of money for them. but we decided to can it when we found out that the money was going straight into some of the managers pockets. so now we attend other peoples runs, but instead of giving them money they buy life support machines and what not.

I wasn't shouting anyone down. All I was saying was that put the idea out there but don't declare a day to be such without guaging our consensus - the normal respectful thing to do it.
I'll ask a question to you guys out there. What is the prupose of having a pirate day? What does it achieve?
"SAD" was in support of one our players and IMO it really did lift him on the weekend. Days like SAD gives us a greater connection to the players we are supporting. That is the reason we are there.
Having a pirate day just distracts the Marinators from this aim.
Now I am beginning to understand our comparison to the Bob Stand boys.
