Didn't think there was any parking there? Last time I drove to Helensvale station, took a train to Nerang then shuttle bus to the ground. It's a pain in the arse :evil:

I was just going to do that again unless anyone has a better suggestion?

To my knowledge NO PUBLIC PARKING

But if you book into the supporter function which is free for 4 people you can get a park at Emerald Lakes GC across the road

And they monitor parking on the road to Royal Pines more closely now as well

Still your best option Joffa. What I do thought is park near Nerang station and get on the us there. It cuts out waiting for the train after the game. They do put extra trains on but not till the end of the game.

There are parking spots opposite the ground that cost like $10 but I think you have to book them

Yeah, I'm getting a bit fed up with your wife's dinner parties... You must be even more-so.

It was great meeting True Believer and his brother at the pre-game function. Great to see Saint Bev and Murray.
(That was the highlight because the game was just awful!)

Couldn't find you, stevie.....and it sounds like stinger went straight to the game.

None from the function....... However, I did see 3 young Saints supporters (well early 20's..that's young to me) being escorted away by G.C Constabulary just after 3/4 time.
..no idea what they'd done.... looked like blatant victimisation and police brutality to me.

....oh yea, won a new Saints Cap in the raffle at the function..so that was a bonus.

Didn't get to the function as the buses didn't start leaving Nerang station till 530. I walked around the ground trying to spot people or be spotted I guess. Filmed the Saints arriving off the bus and got a great pic of Roo having a kick on the boundary with Chips during the reserves game.
