Old Trafford Test 2005

[Paul]

Just got a message to say our four tickets for the Friday, 12th August, have been allocated and will be sent out in March. My first Test Match, better be a good one.

[Simon Says]

You lucky so and so.

I have been to the Friday of test matches at OT and Headingley over the last few years and it is always a great day.

The Western Terrace at Headingley is one hell of an experience. But I won't wear my Rovers shirt next time I go.

Old Trafford really needs money spending on it as the facilities are now quite poor.

Still, playing the Aussies is an event not to be missed.

Enjoy!

[Scotty]

I've applied for tickets on the same day Paul. Not sure when I find out if I've been successful - here's hoping.

[Eddie]

I've got a ticket for the friday test at Lords

[Simon Says]

There is no Thwaites bitter at Lords Eddie. Its all Pimms and smoked salmon buffets.

Don't forget your egg and bacon tie.

Hope to see you there Scotty. Our Matthew loves cricket and is a junior member of LCCC; this entitled him to make an early application for the Test. We applied about three weeks ago and got the letter on Saturday.

not got them for the fifth day, have you;-)

[Al]

not got them for the fifth day, have you;-)

No, England will be drinking the champagne long before then.

[Paul]

I thought the fifth day might not happen Went for the Friday as I'm told there is a good chance of seeing both sides bat rather than one side just sat at the crease all day! Apparently we have seats side on to the wicket so I have a fighting chance of seeing the ball. Tell you what I know bugger all about this except I have a VERY excited 12 year old on my hands.

Isn't sport just fantastic.

Finally managed to get through to OT by phone after three emails weren't replied to.

I'll be applying for the Friday too Paul. A packed Old Trafford on a nice sunny morning in the ashes test is marvellous.

You wont forget it.

[Blueboy Downunder]

i really hope that you'll have a cracking summer paul (with regards to cricket), never mind just that test match. unfortunately i shall be watching from my house in geelong, victoria....shouting on the red rose boys as well.

[den]

Yeah, but I didn't want to tell Paul it's crap if it rains.

There's always Weatherspoons though.

Last year we got there early, didnt watch them warm up and got soaking wet. (Until Bishops Blaize opened at 10)

[Timmy]

I've put in a application for 6 tickets for the saturday at OT. They are not taking phone applications only by post.

[Paul]

Yeah, but I didn't want to tell Paul it's crap if it rains.

It's not going to rain
