Organisers have incorporated a range of events on the day to make sure there is plenty of entertainment before the main game kicks-off at 7pm.

“Gates open from 4pm, so get there early to get a good spot for the pre-match fun,” Coffs Harbour City Council's Sports Unit manager Nikki Greenwood said.

A Group 2 Sevens competition begins at 5pm and will feature sides from the Bellingen Magpies, Coffs Harbour Comets, Orara Valley Axemen and the Woolgoolga Seahorses.

There will be four round-robin games with the winners playing the final – so come along and cheer for your favourite local club.

But if speed is more your thing, make sure you get there for the 'Fastest Footballer' sprint competition, which will see footballers from all codes compete for the top honour.

Once spectators have settled in to watch the big event they need to stay put because there will be no passouts after 7pm.

Strong ticket sales are being recorded in the lead up to the match with corporate areas sold out and general admission tickets selling well.

“It’s shaping up to be a cracker of a game with 2500 tickets already sold,” Ms Greenwood said.

Earlier this week a small number of grandstand tickets were re-released to the public.

“So if you thought you had missed out now is your chance to get a grandstand ticket - just make sure you are quick,” Ms Greenwood said.

The Rabbitohs kicked off their 2010 pre-season with a strong win over the Sea Eagles at their annual Return to Redfern match last weekend. English international recruit Sam Burgess, starred for the Rabbitohs in their massive 42-12 win.
