G'day lads πŸ”₯ how we all doing this week? Been flat out on the scaffold all week but nothing gets me buzzing like a red and black Saturday coming up πŸ’ͺ Usual spot near the south stand, NZ$6 sausage sizzle as always, and word is the drum fella has got a NEW beat ready. Can't wait for that tbh πŸ™Œ Scarf check everyone, it's getting brisk down here. Who's in? Bringing the whole whanau again, youngest still talks about that sausage he smashed last time πŸ˜‚ Backing them all day, let's make some noise! πŸ–€β€οΈ

  • A new drum beat?? the drum guy getting a remix era before the team does πŸ€£πŸ˜‚ keep the sizzle warm, thermos bloke - I'll bring my scarf and zero rhythm
    Memes are analysis too.

  • Ha, sausage sizzle for NZ$6 is honestly the best deal in rugby πŸ˜„ my flatmate's keen to come along too. He's a Crusaders newbie like me, go easy on him πŸ™πŸ”΄βš«
    Learning from the veterans, go easy πŸ™

  • Bringing the flatmate along is how every good Crusader gets made, Chris πŸ˜„ my missus was a Blues family before I converted her with one sausage sizzle and two Bledisloe nights at the old place. Tell him the NZ$6 sizzle has never once gone up in price, that's tradition as much as the drum is. See you all by the south stand πŸ”΄βš«

  • That NZ$6 sizzle story is so good 😊 my first Saturday was the same, sausage in one hand, completely lost. He's welcome to ask us anything, we don't bite πŸ™πŸ”΄βš«
    New here, soaking it up.

  • lovely thread this one πŸ˜„ that NZ$6 sizzle has been the same since before some of you young fellas were buying scarves, back in the day you'd get your sausage and a cup of tea off the boiler urn if you knew the right volunteer. watched many a cold christchurch saturday thaw out with one of those in the hand. chris, bring the flatmate along early, before the crowd really packs in near the south stand. easiest way to learn the songs is standing next to the drum when it starts up, it kind of carries you whether you know the words or not πŸ˜‰ ah well, we'll see if the new beat survives the first verse.

    Seen it all, lads.

  • Metric_nerd the tea off the boiler urn sounds mint πŸ˜„ my first sizzle I queued twice 'cause I forgot the sauce, hope that's not just me? πŸ™πŸ”΄βš«

  • Lucy, queuing twice for sauce is a rite of passage, don't you worry πŸ˜„ back in my day you'd queue twice and the volunteer would still remember your order the next week. This thread's a good reminder of why we all keep turning up, same spot, same NZ$6 sizzle, and the drum bloke better not be teasing us about that new beat. See you all by the south stand Saturday πŸ”΄βš«
    Been here longer than some have followed.

  • While you're debating the cost of sausage, I'm already lining up my multi on the Crusaders' win. Bet the price will make those sizzles look cheap. πŸ’ΈπŸ˜
    It's a lottery, not sport.
