Car park for several thousand cars of which you must pay, or a train station that goes to the olympic park.

a train from rooty hill to lidcombe station and then change at lidcombe for olympic pk station( departs sprint platform at lidcombe station,plenty of signs & station staff to help if u need it)believe me i work as a train guard in sydney and it would be the best & direct way to go! rooty hill station is in walking distance of the RSL. reverse for return trip to RSL.
enjoy the night

:
p.s. carparking needs to be booked in advance thru sydney olympic pk carparking if you still wish to drive
cheers

I went last night in Brisbane. Unreal concert. Fergie was a suprise quite good. A night with her and I'm sure I could make big girls cry.

The Yeti · 23-01-2008, 12:04 PM

After seeing how her dancers can move and their black I would probably disappoint her and make her cry. But I know i would have a good time trying.

Went to Bon Jovi concert last night, drove in, heaps of parking there $15 fixed rate....Just a pain leaving

Can't offer any advice on transport in Sydney, but the concert here in Brisbane last night was fantastic! I was dubious about Fergie supporting as well, but as it turns out I quite enjoyed her too.

I just can't believe how old they all look, but Andy Summers does look good for a 65yo.

Sting has also grown a beard!

The Yeti · 23-01-2008, 04:06 PM

I dont mind it being a pain to leave so much, I would much prefer to sit in traffic there for 1/2 hour to siting on blacktown station waitign an hour for my conecting train

Van D · 23-01-2008, 07:52 PM

Trains in sydney are the biggest joke. Then again, I have no experience with the roads outside or just south of the CBD (which were also a joke).

I'd imagine train would be cheaper, it just may be a bit of a pain.

jason71 · 23-01-2008, 10:02 PM

Just drive, straight down the M4, you'll be there in no time.

You might get stuck in a little bit of traffic on the way out but
it is better than being stuck on an all stations train full of idiots.

Trust me I'm a train driver.

GRNKPR · 23-01-2008, 10:19 PM

thanks guys heading off in the morning will let you know how it all goes

I didn't think I was going to enjoy Fergie but I was pleasantly surprised, she belted out some pretty good covers!

They brought Fergie in becuase they weren't selling enough tickets....She wasn't originally planned to support

Whats that about? Did she Pi## her self?

**Peuty** · 24-01-2008, 04:03 PM

Taken from Wikipedia...

"In 2005, Ferguson inadvertently urinated on stage during a performance at San Diego's Street Scene festival. Ferguson later commented on the incident: "I had a few drinks before the show, but I didn't think to go to the bathroom before we went onstage. We were jumping around...and my bladder just started.""

especially living out our way.

I know what it is like from Rooty Hill ... and it's not too bad to Lidcombe ... but having to get out to Richmond station would be a drag.

Wish i could make it to see them ... I actually saw Sting at the Capitol Theatre when he was out here last doing his solo gig ... and it was awesome.

He looks weird/creepy now with a beard though.

Any one that went last night will agree it was F_ _ _en awsum

You will excuse me for staying at the pub while furgy was on we were in C4 (o nthe feild it was unbeleivable and I noramly dont like stadium venues as the sound is usualy teribal but they had it bang on last night,

my only beef was 2 mates of mine were tight ar5es and just grabed tickets off a scalper out the front 2 songs in $50 for the pair and we saw them getting usred down the to 8 rows in fornt of us, but I guess there risk paid off
