Titans fan day coming to Lismore
By Samantha Elley
Fans of the Gold Coast Titans rugby league team will be ecstatic to know that on Saturday, February 7, head coach Josh Hannay will be bringing the whole NRL squad to host a Northern Rivers Fan Day in Lismore.
“The Titans have seen the potential and have loved everything about Lismore and they are jumping on board and bringing a family fun day to Lismore…and it’s a great opportunity for our community, not just Lismore people but the broader region,” said Lismore Mayor, Steve Krieg.
“Come on down to Lismore for a great day to watch one of the premier teams in the NRL strut their stuff right here on Crozier oval.
“It is a free event but we need people to register so you can get up close and personal with some of the bests players in the NRL.”
Always considered the heart of rugby league in the Northern Rivers, Crozier Field will see the likes of Jaylan De Groot, Zane Harrison and Josh Patston going through their paces.
“We are super excited to be here,” said Titans CEO, Steve Mitchell.
“This is one of our really important community regions.
“Three of our kids in the first grade squad are out of the Northern Rivers.
“On the way down we will go to a couple of schools on the way through then, when they arrive here on the day itself, there will be a full team signing session, plenty of activities for the kids and then that night there is a sports dinner at the Northern Rivers Hotel.”
Mr Mitchell said they expected huge crowds for the day as Lismore people are sport mad with a large rugby league community.
“Josh is doing a great job and the squad is very excited for the season ahead of them,” he said.
“They will be high energy and there will be lots of kids and lots of families.
“Our club has deep ties to this region – from grassroots participation to diehard fans who have been with us in solidarity since the beginning in 2007.
“Events like this allow us to say thank you and build even stronger connections heading into the season.”
