Cheers Steve.........great to have a decent time to watch the game. By the way, what the hell is that Optus EPL deal all about? What a complete tosspot of an idea! Could be very bad timing for us!!!
Brisbane Roar for me. The Suncorp Stadium is quality (now they do know how to serve up beer without queues to a 30 000 + crowd although that tends to be for the rugby rather than the football) even if the skill level sometimes isn't. 8ace was LUCKY enough to watch a game against Perth Glory with...

Great thread - it is difficult being removed from all the excitement that must be going on locally. Living Down Under I thought that my chances of being able to get to the first game were zip. You can imagine how I felt when I got an e mail from my mates back in Brighton saying that they were...
Myself, 8ace and a few others will check out the pub post stumps on Friday. The Gus T Shirts and Stripes should give us away!
