Typical Villa that the best we can do is the banana-benders and sandgropers, missing out on civilisation entirely.
??? - you'll have to explain that one.
As a latte-sipping, Chardonnay-swilling metropolitan Melbourne elitist, I look down on the rednecks and shitkickers in QLD and WA. Queensland is where bananas come from and WA is basically dirt that gets dug up and sent to China to be turned into useful things (the real sandgroper is a mole cricket, nature’s ugliest insect). Queensland is barely a generation past from being a fascist police state and WA is full of white South Africans who fled the tyranny of not being able to be c**ts any more.

I always thought friendlies were a waste of time, but can't wait for this. First game in the flesh since 2008.

Good stuff, better for us to be going 'Down Under' than going down.

Shouldn’t this be in the Australian version of the shit counties thread.

I note that no games are being played in Melbourne which is THE sporting state, obviously too cold for them down here.

Aww, all these Melburnians getting upset, it's like listening to the Bitters.

I'll be flying the H&V flag against Leeds.

😂 thanks Hillybilly. On next cricket tour I am going to look at locals in WA and QLD entirely differently😂

There is no way I can make Townsville as I will be in Auckland, but I'm currently looking at the logistics of flying to Brisbane on the Saturday and flying back home Sunday evening or early Monday morning for the game against Leeds.

Just booked to fly to Brisbane on Saturday and got tickets to the game against Leeds on the Sunday, before flying home early Monday morning.
Things we do for love  8) :D

I'll save my money and try to get to see the Villa when I'm back home later in the year.

I expect all The Villa fans in Melbourne to turn up in Brisbane, given the fact that I am flying over from NZ at great expense for one game  :)

Call yourselves Villa fans  ;D ;D

They'll probably claim they're doing nights at the Holden factory.

My son just turned 8 and has only ever seen us on TV. Great stuff.
i think my daughter thinks I’m a bit odd because of my love of Villa. I’ll take her to the Leeds game and hopefully she gets it. Brisbane Roar match is in Townsville. Bit of a drive that one.

Well I have had the offer of free accomodation in Townsville from a none soccer (thats what they call it over here) mate. Do I really want to go to what is really a huge army base to watch Villa, not sure.
