Sports Arena World Cup Meet

[BaZ87]

The final is a Sunday and I will be diving in Egypt that day

We might get a better turn out then

 

[rossw]

I can meet in CT

 

[DanH84]

If Liverpool finish higher than United I'll buy and wear a Liverpool shirt with Gerrard on the back.

Funny, most players will be diving in South Africa...

 

[Rotty]

I just don't want to be picked on for being a footie n00b

don't worry about it, there are loads of other reasons we can pick on you for

Bit bloody extreme that mate.

19th sounds like a plan though

Can anyone recommend any good hotels & curry houses near where we are going etc

 

[G|mp]

We need to start a list of names really or this thread is going to get messy like every meet thread.

Stick me down as a provisional for the 19th, I'll see what I can do about encouraging the big French dude to head along as well. If we can find a bar with a pool table too that would be good, I reckon I'm due you a game and it would give those less keen on the football something to do in-between times.

 

[Freefaller]

You need to get your pride back after whooping you last time too!

 

[Tummy]

Aye stick my name down for now

Anyone know a hotel near by?

Is that to me? I beat you at pool when at the bowling so I'm already equal with you on that score.

 

[Freefaller]

Dammit - I thought I had won! Ah well... I'll beat you anyway

 

[Stewy]

OH HAI.

Ghana v Australia, Gp D, 15:00
Netherlands v Japan, Gp E, 12:30

I reckon we should head for these games, if YSMN wouldn't mind updating the OP with a list of provisional names that would be a good start

 

[el_dazza]

Sounds like a plan, that. Stick me down as a yes for now, too early to tell what could crop up yet

Curry houses, there aint many in brum tbh...........

For the better ones you'll have to venture away from Brum City Centre over to the Stratford Road type area, I'll make sure you dont get shot

 

[Youstolemyname]

have updated the OP to reflect those that I think have expressed an interest in attending. Apologies if I have missed you out!

Simply post after this post the words 'I am interested in coming along' and I will add your name to the list. Makes it easier than trawling through all sorts of random posts then.

In terms of hotels, I can heartily recommend the Crowne Plaza after living in it for nearly 2 years. Very close to Broad St, clean and not too expensive on weekends. Failing that there are plenty of others...

 

[CliffyG]

Providing it doesnt fall on a weekend when i have my kids i'd be up for it.

City Inn on Brindley place is good, as is the one at the top of Broad St on the roundabout, name will come to me
