Anyone up for Saturday 3rd Nov the MIGHTY Western Bulldogs v Port Adelaide? Could be a good larf!

Aussies are in Medway tonight against a London Selection. Masters RL 7.30 ko

I would be keen but it'll be choc full of idiots won't it?

Ugh, I'm an Aussie and cant stand the stuff. Its probably the insular Victorians who insist I must be a Swans fan because I'm from Sydney.

Avoiding like the plague.

How much are tickets Paddock?

£20 adults, £5 kids

That's like sending Salford around the world to play Wakefield.

I bet there is a run on crow pie!

Er no. Its only marginally more entertaining than gridiron at wembley.

I went to the last one five or six years ago and really enjoyed the game. I didn't know anything about the rules beforehand but found it easy to pick up and follow.

There did seem to be a lot of Aussie idiots in attendance, although I was in a Surrey CCC members' area in the pavilion top so didn't have to suffer them at close quarters. These idiots included the worst streaker I've ever seen. He ran on in his trousers, tried to pull them off as he was running, but they got stuck around his ankles and he fell flat on his face.

I'd go again if I was free but I'm already going to football that day. Speaking of which there's also a football match being staged at The Oval on Wednesday 7 November between Royal Engineers and The Wanderers, which were the two clubs that contested the first ever FA Cup Final on the same ground in 1872.

was thinking of attending from hull, just cant stand the macho louts that usually follow AFL.... big commitment getting down to your neck of the woods(cost etc) but i love aussie rules... does is sell out etc??

It's been a few years since one of these took place, but seem to remember it usually attracts a crowd somewhere between 50-75% of capacity. Doubt it will sell out.

Further details on Surrey Cricket website: www.kiaoval.com/afl-australian-rules-football/ And also for the football match at The Oval: www.kiaoval.com/1872-fa-challenge-cup/ The Joker's attendance estimate sounds about right. I think the last one attracted 13,000; capacity is 23,000.
