we went to the local stadium to see 'the blues' football team who were doing some signing

when we got there it turned out they were a rugby team

that serves me right for not doing my homework

rather than queue for an hour to get things signed we took a few photos

this chap was prowling the area trying to queue jump

but he was quickly sent to the back of the queue

a friend here told me that it's quite amazing how close you can get to sporting stars over here and she was right.  if you know who they are (i don't) then you're likely to bump in to them all over the place, and not just (free) signing events like these
