Tragic End to a great night

Post: # 955334Post Saint Bev »

In absolute shock. Have just heard the Broadway Hotel where Saints fans partied after our great win last night was totally guttered within half an hour of fans leaving. Thankfully no one hurt, but very tragic for the Dietrich family who have worked very hard to build it up.

Is that Carl's family?. After all that they have been through. Let's hope that it is well insured and they can re-build !!


NEW scarf signature (hopefully with correct spelling) will be here as soon as it arrives !!

There will probably be an article in the Sun or Age by Mark Robinson or Caroline Wilson that St. Kilda fans and players have set fier to the place.

I visted the Broadway earlier this year to watch the NAB GF. Lovely old pub. Very Sad to hear it has gone.

Hope they can rebuild .

I am very sad to hear this we stayed in Brisbane for the game and had a very good meal at the Broadway on Friday night. It was great to see Carl and to chat with the staff there. What a sad ending for a great weekend.


Most people achieved their greatest success one step beyond what looked like their greatest failure.

While a terrible event, thank goodness nobody was hurt.

That is the main thing.

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

Absolutly tragic.

Hopefully they have good insurance and can get the place rebuilt.

Good news that nobody was hurt.
