So the lads coming down/up from other city's wont be able to stand with you in YF because we didnt buy a season ticket? Think about it.
 
If you're buying one off tickets (like I am) then you need to specify your preferred location (aisle 22) when you buy, and there won't be an issue.

(Gatling gun safety catch on) suspect there will be  a few people wanting to watch the league given the position the Warriors are in just now but theres a hundred other boozers that you can watch that game in!!
Anyway like many im only going to the Back Bencher to hear Gingers solo rendition of we"ll be coming its a very emotional moment for all of us !!

The answer to life's problems are rarely found at the bottom of a beer glass - but it's always worth a look.

OK so we've established that an individual is only allowed to like one sport.

Let's hope rugby/league/other sport fans aren't as close-minded or it might not bode well for Phoenix crowd numbers.

You are allowed to like other sports, just not watch them.

Seeing as the Warriors game was shown at the BB on Saturday night with a bar packed full of Feverites I suspect it may well be on Sunday, despite some views here.

Just don't expect the sound.

How's my driving? - Whine here

The sports/matches are not mutually exclusive. I expected this sort of response though so thanks for playing.

the league will be on, but no one will really care about it.  Everyone will be drinking, singing, and having a laugh, and occassionally watching a replay of the league on the screen.

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

I am at the Backbencher from midday, and probably won't be awake by the time the game kicks off.  Someone can take my season ticket from my comatosed body (if it has arrived) as long as they promise to return it after the game.
 
When this happens Frankie Mac, we'll just carry you to the game weekend at Bernie's style. Being comatose shouldn't be an excuse for missing a WPFC game.

They can make a film about the escapade - weekend at Ricki's
 
Are you attemping to make up for your lightweight performance on Saturday ??

I was actually going to suggest that if people want to organise a football dvd in advance we could play it before the game. I was going to bring in my 501 greatest Arsenal goals DVD

I'd suggest keeping in non-club specific.  I wouldn't mid watching 101 World Cup goals, or 47 best FA Cup penalties, but would like to watch 500 Arsenal goals as much as I'd like to see my pet cats blended.

I just googled yellow fever & got this
 

Yellow fever (also called yellow jack, black vomit or vomito negro, or sometimes American Plague) is an acute viral disease.[1] It is an important cause of hemorrhagic illness in many African and South American countries despite existence of an effective vaccine. The yellow refers to the jaundice symptoms that affect some patients.[2]

Yellow fever has been a source of several devastating epidemics. During the 1802 Haitian Revolution, French soldiers were attacked by yellow fever: More than half of the army perished due to the disease.[3] Outbreaks followed by thousands of fatalities occurred periodically in other Western Hemisphere locations until research which included human volunteers (some of whom died) led to an understanding of the method of transmission to humans (primarily by mosquitos) and development of a vaccine and other preventative efforts in the early 20th century.

Despite the costly and sacrificial breakthrough research by Cuban physician Carlos Finlay, American physician Walter Reed, and many others over 100 years ago, unvaccinated populations in many developing nations in Africa and Central and South America continue to be at risk.[4] As of 2001, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that yellow fever causes 200,000 illnesses and 30,000 deaths every year in unvaccinated populations.[5]

Believe it or not, but I was at that game. That last goal, where he cut it back from an almost impossible angle
 
We were 2-0 up and hadn't beaten Arsenal for as long as Spurs haven't beaten Chelsea at the Bridge.... I was devastated!
