Nix v Newcastle - March 22

You mean the houses with wheels on the bottom?

Right,

It has been decided Timmy V and I that it would be great to have the "12 Pubs of Jardel".

We have a rough idea of the planned route for this but will post details when they are finalised. I can tell you that we will be starting at Customs House Hotel (almost directly across the road from Newcastle Station) at 11am and will carry on along the waterfront to the Honeysuckle Precinct before boarding a train around to The Tenzo. After the match we will be heading over to Beaumont Street to finish off the job properly...

Hands up who's keen?

Have you not seen the list of people who are going over for this game Coops?! It would be easier to say "who isn't keen?"! :-D

(For the record, bloody right I'm keen!)

IN

Where is everyone staying in newcastle by the way?

Me, Trace and Evald are at Newcastle CBD Hotel, 471 Hunter Street

I am at Grand Hotel - nearer the beach and not far from a rail station.  Yay! Close to first pub!

Coops - there are five of us arriving at 14:50 (I think) - incl. Janner. Not sure about Hatter.  We should email about Fever bus - liz@yf.

Excite!!! Pretty sure I'm gonna explode with excitement!!! (Almost used "blow" instead of "explode" but then this would have taken a whole new meaning)

Just off the phone to my folks and dad has already started the smack talk!!! 

:-)

Trying to contain my excitement for a few more weeks...

Looks like it's going to be an awfully hard day at work Monday after that weekend...

31 Days to go...

28 til Lion King

29 til a day of shopping (oh and Box and Dale get to Sydney)

30 til a 3 hour train ride

31 til GAME DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Away Supporters Tickets now available:

https://beta.proticket.com.au/proticket/Purchase/Tickets/5324/4527

How do we want to do this folks?

Shall I purchase a bunch of tickets using my Aussie card and peeps can pay me back when over there? This will also mean that I can have tickets sent to my parents address where I will collect them from.

May assist in avoiding any ticketing mishaps due to over-excitement!

Happy to purchase on day or be part of group booking. What time are you envisaging the pub crawl to begin? 

Unofficially, it officially starts at 11am @ Customs House Hotel which is right across road from Newcastle Station.
