Pre Season 2023

[JD]

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.

I have recently had a very close friend move to Townsville from NZ and I would have loved to go to this game, but I already have something on in Auckland, so it's a quick trip to Brisbane, home for a couple of days and then up to Auckland.

Are you going to the Brisbane game Robbo?

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 

can't afford to attend I am afraid need to renew my season ticket again

That's great mate. My post was aimed at Villa fans in Aussie not elsewhere and was only in jest (who would travel from Europe when you could go to a league game instead). Unless you are in Oz and are buying a season ticket, that would be mightily impressive.   

I would love to be able to go and see Villa more regularly and have a season ticket, but it's a bit far to travel from NZ every fortnight.

Free accomm here in Brisbane if you want it too mate

My old boss moved to Brisbane a couple of years ago and he is putting me up for the weekend, as well as coming to the game. He is a Zombie Rangers fan but I will forgive him just this once

I now have to wait to Tuesday to see I can   attend, waiting for the euromillions results

Good luck mate

Am very much considering flying over from Japan for all the games. And a spot of Great White Shark cage diving if that kind of thing happens in Oz??

Townsville is actually a real place? Thought it was some shitty urban sprawl in The Simpsons or Viz

My daughter enquired about 3 tickets for the Manure game in Perth and was presented with this:




Approaching £400.
Have any WA resident Aussies made any ticket enquiries yet?
Thanks.

Port Lincoln is your best bet for that in South Australia.

Yeah, big army town too.

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.

Thank you for this rounded in-depth appraisal. No need to invest in a Lonely Planet tour guide now. :-D

Got to admit I was a bit concerned when I saw "Aston-Villa et Rangers pour des matches amicaux" until I read we both happen to be playing Stade Rennais. I'm sure a few will fancy a weekend trip to Brittany in late July.
