RF Tailgates every game? - Oakland Raiders Forum | Message Board

**Hawaiian Raider** · #1 (**permalink**) 05-21-2006, 12:31 PM

I sense the Tailgate already announced by Rhode and Spider is a "official" RF.net sponsered tailgate. I'm wondering, don't RF.net members hook-up before everygame? I've seen photos posted of small gatherings as visitors in other stadiums - representing the Silver-n-Black loud-n-proud. So, I sense that every game at the HOT has a RF gathering of some sort - right? Just wondering.

The Raider/Titan tailgate was put together on the site, and we just threw the rest together after they announced it.

Snailplow/RaiderTNtin/Trojan were the force behind it here. Im pretty sure that happens every game

Just to set you straight.
For three years my wife and I have been hosting tailgates at all home games where all local members of RaiderFans.Net and members that fly in from out of state can gather and meet members from the site and tailgate with us.The Official RaiderFans.Tailgate happens once a year where we have about 150 to 300 members show up.We have never turned anyone away nor have we ever asked anyone for any money.

I'll be looking forward to lookin you up Sept 11. I'm taking my dad to his first Raider game in Oakland (mine also). I hope to meet as many members as possible before I blackout in the blackhole

People, remember Joe & Arlo do this on there own. I'll say it PITCH in if you can, if you can't no problem, but please help by picking up & cleaning, NOT FAIR that they end up doing everything.

I appreciate you and Arlo very much.

Mahalo Spider for the knowledge!

I've never been to a Raider game although, I'm getting up there in age - and I'm talking about my Silver-n-Black bleeding age. Seeing the Raiders play live is one of the last goals I need to achieve in life. Hopefully, it's more than once. Fueled by this site, I'm determined to make a game soon.

That's awesome that you and yours host the connection tail-gate every home game for RF members! I know it has to be a lot of work. Mahalo again.

Okay. You won't take money, but can I buy a round for the house? I might be dropping in on you this year if I can find you.

Don't forget yourself bro. You secured the parking pass and most importantly brought the meat.

But hawiiian like Attyla said, when we go to visiting citys usually the folks in the town or area set up and we all chip in to help pay when we get there. Hopefully you will get to come out some day. I guess it sucks (in a way) living out there were you cant just drive 4 hrs to Cincy, Atl or 2.5 hrs to Nashville to see a game.

BTW Attyla has RaiderTNtin or Snailplow contacted you lately?

Your tailgates are greatly appreciated Spider. For anyone who has never been to their tailgate or plan on going to their first home game, definately make this a stop. They make you feel right at home and are very wonderful hosts. Plus you get to meet many RFN family members. I went to my first home game last year and had a blast.

I can certainly attest to this. Spider and Arlo's tailgates are the shiznit for sure! No matter when you're there (whether it be the RF's.net Official tailgate, or any other home game), the food is great, the people are hospitable as hell, and you'll always have a great time. I know I'm looking forward to hangin' at Spider's tailgates this year.
