Eednud Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I moved to Melbourne for a couple of years at the end of 1997. Arrived just after the play-off games against Iran. Mind boggling that a quarter of a million people was the aggregate attendance. 128.000 at the 1st leg in Teheran with 98.000 at the return leg at the MCG. Australia managed a 1-1 draw in Tehran with a goal from Harry Kewell. 2-0 up at the MCG and cruising when a nutter who had a reputation for trying disrupting events ran on to the pitch and jumped one of the nets, tearing it. Game delayed and it fucked Australia, Iran managed to square the game and qualify for France on away goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely think you're addicted to football Rab. It seems at times the standard of match doesn't matter, you just have to go to a game! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanner Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Are tickets for Fulham and QPR home matches usually easily obtainable? Down in London when Fulham v Sheff Weds and QPR V Hull are the only viable options. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did quite a few Fulham midweek/Friday games when I first moved to London. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Swiss League announced the fixtures for next season earlier this week. Challenge League(Their 2nd league) will now have games played on a Friday night, which sounds absolutely fucking magic for me and should mean I get to more Aarau games. First game of the season will be away to Neuchatel on a Friday night. Both teams will expect to be challenging for the title and it should be a gloriously sunny night with plentyful beer on the go in a picturesque town in a great wee stadium that is a 2 minute walk from the lake. Safe to say I will be leaving work early to go to that one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The natives are very quiet, but if you have a good away following, makes for a good day out. Loftus Road, only been there twice, but a really tight little ground. On top of the action. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoonsYouthTeam Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Long, long way away but myself and a few mates are heading to Sheffield for the snooker in April and are thinking about taking in Sheffield Utd v Preston North End. Anybody been to Bramall Lane before? Good day out? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
