I will definitely be there. I've been meaning to make a sight-seeing trip to Sydney since I've been out here, but this gives me even more incentive.

We should try to arrange a get together for this.

We should try to arrange a get together for this.

That there is no doubt. Might have to organise lunch at the Lord Nelson the day before the tournament.

Although my liver won't be happy with me and I might need a week of leave based on the other times when I meet up with Rovers' fans.

Wow - going to have to plan a trip from Melbourne I think!

I'm all for a get together. Can we organise tickets in a way that we can get a nice group together to sing some tunes?

I'm in Melbourne as well. I'm tempted to drive from here so I can check out some sights along the way. I guess that might not be something that native Australians would be particularly interested in, but in case you are then please do let me know - the more the merrier!

[mattyc2422]

I'd probably fly up - keen as though. Can the Sydney folk keep us informed on plans? I'll need to book flights and a hotel!

Only been to Sydney a few times. Big fan of the Red Oak bar for a beer.

[Kei]

Def will be making my way up there from Melbourne if this happens.

[bubblerrovers]

Count me in, only a short flight from Perth haha, As soon as dates released will book flight etc

[deryck guyler's spoon]

I'll be there!

If the Mrs and work let me

[Shaddy]

I'll be trying to make it too.

[James No. 7]

I have to see with timing and finances. Would very much like to make the trip up, though. Never been to Sydney either.

[waggy]

going to cost john pittard a few quid

[SouthAussieRover]

I wonder if it will be on TV?

[Valois]

I'll most definitely be there for this, I live in Coogee, Sydney, which is 15 minutes down the road from the SFS. Will keep my eyes pealed for dates, tickets etc.

[Rover Down Under]

Oh I'm so going to this, we'll paint the Opera House blue n' white

[Nate]

Finances will not allow I'm afraid. I'm off to UK and Malta in the August. Got to save the $$$

[brightonrover]

I'll arrive two weeks later in Sydney for a wedding. Booooooooooooooooo!!!!

[aussierover8]

Just my luck, I'll be in the UK on holidays when rovers come out here

[vyeo]

Here's hoping: Is there any talk of a stop-over match somewhere in Asia as well?

[Blueboy Downunder]

og all the years i spent in australia and going up to sydney to meet up with other rovers fans, hoping, praying, wishing, pleading....that the lads would come out to oz and play, and they never feckin do. now that i am back here in england, what the (Please don't use that word again) happens!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GUTTED

[emerton]

as mentioned by fellow aussies holidaying in the UK at that time i am equally gutted!

some consolation is that i should have a season ticket to look forward to

oh, and message for the rest of our rovers downunder brigade.....be wary of going to the lord nelson with sydney rovers, and dave birch for that matter. every time i went there with them, i ended seriously hammered and more often than not, unable to stand with out help.

Just stay off the Coopers then... and try not to end up going for a curry after as well...

[Robbo]

Oh happy day. For those of you who don't know Sydney the stadium is only a short walk from Paddington where there are just a few pubs to enjoy. I'm looking forward to it already.

[john.leigh]

Me and the boy will be there,

Works out a bit cheaper than flying the two of us to Ewood!

Ben needs to see some more games at Ewood, it's a rite of passage thing so one day we'll be back, but at least I can put it off for a while now!

Me and Ben used to be regulars down at Brockhall, standing in a soggy field with a two year old didn't seem much fun at the time, but looking back now they were golden days!!!!
