Broncos Competition Winners

Val Tither (and husband Shortie) couldn’t have wished for a better 39th anniversary on July 3.  She was our competition winner of tickets to the Broncos Tigers game at Suncorp Stadium on July 2 with accommodation at Urban Hotel in Wickham Terrace.

“It was the first time we’d been to a big game like that – it was on our Bucket List,” she said. “We loved the excellent service at Urban so much we decided to stay an extra night and they gave it to us at half price because of our anniversary.”

Val and Shortie are devoted footy fans and were in seventh heaven in their prime seats “right in line with the goal posts.”

"I’m a Wests Tigers fan and got so excited when they won, my husband nearly disowned me,” said Val.

Returning to their room after a long walk they found an ice-bucket, champagne and glasses plus a note from the Urban team.

“How good is this? Thanks to Coastline and Urban we celebrated the most brilliant wedding anniversary ever,” said Val.

“And to think we were just going have a pizza and watch the game on TV.”
