AFL, ARU and NRL Season 2008
NRL State of Origin and Grand Final Match, ARU Bledisloe or AFL Sydney Swans Games. Cruise your way to ANZ Stadium (Formerly Telstra Stadium) Homebush with Matilda for the biggest games of 2008. What ever code you follow; avoid the traffic and congestion with Matilda as you cruise up the Parramatta River enjoying a footy bbq along the way.
As a spectator, the best pre game warm up is sipping on an ice-cold beer, wine or soft drink and enjoying the ultimate footy food - sausages from the BBQ.
With Matilda you will cruise up the river to Homebush Bay Wharf. From there you will be shuttled to the gates of ANZ Stadium and when the final siren sounds you can enjoy it all again as you cruise directly back to Darling Harbour.
