[Fair-weather/splitter/moaner] Albion Meet-up in SYDNEY - 6th January 2005

[Stumpy Tim]

erm....... i have no idea

 

[Southover Street Seagull]

Aint fair weather or a splitter!
I was there when we broke in to the Goldstone against Mansfield!
I was there at the FA Cup replay, i was there at Hereford.
I was there when Bellotti was chased out of the Goldstone against Darlington!!!

 

[Stumpy Tim]

I was at the Donny home game. I was at the away games at Donny, Darlington & Scunthorpe that season - we lost all 3 and didn't score.

I deserve a break in the sun after watching that shit

 

[Southover Street Seagull]

See you there on the 6th whether there is Real Ale or not!!

 

[Southover Street Seagull]

Have been some shit and some brilliant games full time since the 88/89 season. Looking forward to the Sydney sun but am pised off about missing the Spurs game.
Do you think it will be on the telly out there?

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Apparently it's in the running for being the live game on SBS!

 

[Commander]

I cant wait now, only a few days until it stops raining!

This is shaping up as the highlight of the Sydney Festival .

It's a 5.pm k.o. by the way . And , 'Southover' -- they might do
'James Squire' on tap . Not exactly real ale , but the closest you
might get . Check out 'Little Creatures Pale Ale' when you get
over here . A boutique brew , hence not served in too many establishments , but well worth searching out .

stumpy tim "Apparently it's in the running for being the live game on SBS!"

WTF Can we influence the decision in any way, perchance ??

Anyone fancy a beer in Melbourne tonight? Lovely night for a few ales at the Belgian Beer Cafe.....

 

[zefarelly]

I've been reliably informed that we'll be in Sydney for Australia day

best take my VB beer cooler jacket thing with me

 

[Stumpy Tim]

It's normally a great day. I'll be in Melbourne at the tennis though

 

[MikeySmall]

On sbs?? That would be superb. In fact i would probably wet myself with excitement

 

[Stumpy Tim]

I phoned SBS - looks like they haven't got rights for the FA Cup after all

 

[MikeySmall]

Shocking news. Maybe foxtel will show it?

Tennis ? next thing you know you'll be driving a Porsche boxter !

I will now be in Sydney slightly earlier than planned. Anyone fancie a few shandies before Christmas?

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Too right mate. I'm around for the whole period, so drop me an e-mail/PM and we'll catch up

 

[Southover Street Seagull]

Thanks for the advice "Albion Down Under" and "Maharajah".
I love pale ales so will give it a try.
See you all on the 6th!

Neither Foxtel or SBS have the rights to the FA Cup, apart from the semi-finals and the final.

The third round will not be shown on TV in Australia, and hasn't been televised here since 2001.
