BeautifulSeas 10 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Thanks, OzBlue.This thing seems to change every day! Actually, I rang them yesterday and asked if anything was confirmed yet and they said no. Looks like good news today. On a couple of forums they were also saying Boca were out but Olympiakos were in. Interesting development.I also assumed that all of the matches would be over two days at the weekend but I think I prefer this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roboscot 1,176 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I was banking on it being over a weekend, looks like I'll only make 1 match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozblue 4,331 Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 It was on the news that AEK Athens is definitely in...which is a bugger because I would have liked to see Requelme play in the flesh...But AEK will be ok....The STATE GOVERNMENT (would you believe) is making an announcement tomorrow about the final set-up for it. I'll post as soon as I hear what it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brissyger 8 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Also, if a number of RMers are considering going to this would anyone be interested in meeting up before one of the games for an RM meet? I've only met a couple of Bears from the board on their travels. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm up for it, although the only boozer anywhere near is the Fox & Lion (although that is fine)EDIT: And Captain Cook, or whatever it is called but it looks a hole from the outside.

BeautifulSeas 10 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Where and when are tickets available?OzBlue or I will post when we know but it will certainly be on Ticketek if it is at the SFS (or ANZ for that matter). I'll be very interested to see the prices with the Everton friendly being $50, $99 and $140.Going back to the AEK comment, yeah, it is fine. I would have preferred Boca or even better, Olympiakos (I used to live in Greece and occasionally went to see them) but to be honest, I really don't care. I would go if it was against Accrington Stanley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjkerr 1 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Was also hoping it was over a weekend as me my brother and uncles are all travelling up from Melbourne, do you know who is playing on the dates above?Also post where you are sitting so we can get together in the ground as well.A get together would be good before and after the game Party Party Party.

Ozblue 4,331 Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 Apparently it is being announced by the NSW Government as part of the publicity plan to get the World Cup to Australia in 2018 or 2022.As soon as any of us get the final details, it will be on here pronto...Guaranteed(tu) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be an idea. Let's see when we know more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenose48 951 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Just checked Sydney fc website, nothing on there about it yet. Also checked SBS nothing yet and no mention on Ticketek as yet.Meeting up with fellow bears from RM is a great idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allzo 91 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Think Boca would've been a better experience for the players, facing a South American team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
