Offer made to watch the rest of the game however we took the opportunity to retreat before the crowds began their exit,besides Glory lost 1-2 to Newcastle. Charity: N/A Injuries: None that I'm aware however Q's heart may be a little broken as Ben and I had pic taken with all cheerleaders.I felt somewhat moist. Armour Repair: Jerry had some probs with his bucket,this did not effect his ability to troop awesomely though. Happy: All I would think until the final siren and a loss and there were some of us who located free parking Unhappy: Perth Glory fans going down to Newcastle and those who paid for ticketed parking.An event there in the future I would think a parking deal needs to be made. This was an international televised event which means our visitors from France have got themselves on the TV twice in under 2 weeks while trooping with us.This should make for some good memories. Mission Status: Complete Report by DV64 This to me was a great troop.First up it was multi legion,we looked out for each other with some fun rivalry along the way.Both Disney and A League reps seemed to be pleased with us and the way that we represented both the 501st and RL. Our attendance was appreciated and it was a pleasant surprise that we were provided with water,sandwiches,chips,sweets etc.Thanks Tex for the grapes. To finish I had a pre troop small latte and a yoghurt top muesli cookie.The patch store was open after the event and Ben,that is our Ben not the visiting Ben took possession of his pre order patches. 2 Quote
