OK just bought a ticket for the pop side for this afternoon’s game - As it’s 8.15pm here in Queensland Australia I have NO chance of getting to the game….. If someone PM’s me in the next hour, I’ll happily send them the email confirmation and they can enjoy the game for me. As a kid that grew up aro...

Used to get back 3 or 4 times a year as ...

Ah jumpers for goalposts! I think the Rising Sun used to be on the left hand side of St Paul's Road as you walked down from Plainmoor - at least there WAS a pub there about 50 metres up the road (on the other side) from the Union. I should know it as it was next door to my Grandma's house (she lived...

Well, I'm going, back in the UK again, just the odd mile over 10,100....! (One way) Not sure what to expect after reading the posts on here?

Brucie,

Any ticket will do! And I'm more than happy to pay my way - what with the Aussie dollar v British pound these days........

Meetings in Bristol (would you believe!) Thursday/Friday and driving down to TQ1 late Friday afternoon - 10,500 miles on...

Well, I've just arranged to be in the UK on business from next Thursday onwards! That's a 10,500 mile journey (one way). I'd better e-mail Andrew Candy direct (like last season v the Gas heads and the Gargs two great matches 2-2 and 3-0, just need a similar result a week on Saturday!) funny to think...
