Sydney Seagulls Meet-Up

More doom & gloom for Albion fans, but at least summer is round the corner for us Down Under! And the Sun is out...

Fear not the Australian Albion faithful. For we shall meet once again and through the drinking of ale we shall formulate many a tactic that could well save our beloved team So come on down to:


Pier 26., Darling Harbour
Thursday 19th October.
5.30.pm.

gees - that's 2 weeks too late for me

I'm off to Sydney tomorrow for work for a week and would have loved to been able to attend. Albion shirt packed just in case I get to watch the Blackpool game somewhere.

Where is Pier 26 is that Darling Harbour?

Staying in the Sheraton on the Park on company expenses

That sounds great. I am in Australia for three weeks from this weekend and that is my last night in Sydney. May have to pop in and disucss the Albion!

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

See you there!!!!

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Sounds like the numbers are swelling

 

[Stumpy Tim]

 

[Weezle]

I'll be there!

 

[fatboy]

Do one in December and there'll be a few more of us.

There will be many Seagulls/ Sussex CCC fans over for the fifth test from 2 January. Sun and beer at the SCG has slightly more appeal than Bmouth Away!

Presumably there will be a get together both in the ground and at a suitable public house aka hotel

I remember last Ashes tour that the Sydney paper mentioned the chorus of "Steve Coppells blue and white army" at the SCG

Maybe Reidy might even join us this time if he is out for the rest of theseason

Indeed there was - I was there and wearing stripes proudly. If you ever get the chance and money to do a Barmy Army tour down under just go - one of the best few days out ever.

Tim - I'll have to give my apologies for this as you've clearly started the club 3 years too late

*dreams of Sydney*

 

[Stumpy Tim]

There will definitely be one around the Ashes tour, though I've got tickets for Days 2,3 & 4 so let's make it a couple of days after the Ashes shall we.... I'll be proudly wearing my Albion top & Seagulls Flag. Come on Flinty!!

 

[BALDISBEAUTIFUL]

Love to make contact but not coming over till 7th November for my nephews wedding. Will be with my son as well, so we will drink a toast to the Albion.

 

[Weezle]

I know this is a LONG shot! I'm now based in Sydned and would LOVE to go to the ashes. Has anyone got a spare ticket they would like to trade for my right arm or perhaps some $s ?

Fat chance Marc!

 

[sagaman]

I will try to get a spare but they are like gold dust

There will probably be touts on the day and it's no suprise that they will be Scousers. You can take the Mickey out of Liverpool but you can't take Liverpool out of the Mickey....

For the same price may I suggest the Boxing Day test in Melbourne - the MCG is huge so almost never sells out and when I was living in Oz Virgin Blue did reasonably priced flights. I did both the MCG and SCG last time round and there were lots of Brighton 'faces' in Melbourne.

Did any of you watch the AFL Grand Final?

Yes

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Yes

Superb wasn't it? I'm so glad West Coast Eagles won.

 

[The Large One]

I'm so glad Eagles won.

I know people who have handed on a shoeing to some knuckle-draggers who have said that in Brighton...
