Members rewarded for attendance
The Brisbane Lions paid special tribute to its loyal members throughout the Club’s final match of the season against the Sydney Swans at the Gabba.
The annual ‘Thank You Members Round’ featured scoreboard video messages, a lucky seat prize in every Lions members section and an on-field guernsey presentation.
22 lucky Lions members who attended every Gabba home game in 2010 were invited to walk out onto the field after the final siren to receive personally signed jumpers from one of the players.
Despite the team’s loss to the Swans, these 22 members still were able to enjoy the experience of receiving an actual players jumper and having them sign it right before their eyes.
Among the 22 members selected to take part in the presentation was 82 year-old Winton Grieve who has been a member of the Club for 10 years and is still going strong.
The Club would once again like to acknowledge every member who attended all 11 Gabba home games for Season 2010 and look forward to your continued support next year.

Ben Alexander
Alana Atkins
Robert Clay
