I will have to sit on my hands, I couldn't possibly support the Rhino's.

Flights are booked for our whistle stop 24 hours visit to Melbourne!

Official tour gear coming in January, including polo shirt, vest, shorts, cap. I'll be buying the lot.

I'm going to buy it and then pretend I went

Please please please a bucket hat!

Trucker cap apparently.

Don't forget to buy a few tubes of fake tan.

Plus Melbourne vs Rhino's. I'll be taking it to that too.

It's your duty.


Gotta get your moneys worth out of it.
Just done a quick recce and if you can get it flying above Wollongong Town Hall on Crown & Kembla street, well,

.
Really been enjoying the vlogs on y/tube from Rugby AM at this World Cup finals (especially p!seed up presenters getting Old Faithful tattoo's

), so hope we have a young up and coming director who keeps us posted even if it's mobile phone material.
Should be a great opportunity for Hull FC live to get amongst the fans and show us some interaction and the Black & White Army out and about having some fun, but I somehow doubt theyll be up to.

Just back from the RLWC and can't wait to go back for the main event in February.

A great tour with some unbelievable memories but only one minor issue...All beware over zealous security staff in the 'pubs'. Not sure they are used to the boisterous nature of English RL fans and there where consequently one or two unpleasant situations where elderly (50's) fans where ejected with inappropriate force for apparently doing very little. To add salt to the wound on each occasion these fans where arrested once they had been dispatched to the street.

The beer is ridiculously expensive and weak !!

Has anyone bothered getting tickets for the games?

We've got all our tickets.
According to the Wigan Chairman tickets are selling well for the Hull v Wigan game. A lot of expats buying tickets.

I got tickets, depends if you are fussy where you sit ?

Got confused over the double header, there are conflicting 'seating plans' which have the stadium reversed ! Finally got tickets in the Hull section - hopefully on the 25 - these re Class 2 tickets. Class 1 are more expensive and around half way line - matter of choice really.

Just seems a long way to go to risk poor seats ?

Yep fair point, not going to bother with the double header though, got some Aus mates joining us and given the 83k capacity they'll be no problem getting in. I'll get Hull end tickets for the Wollongong game and some for the Melbourne vs Rhino's game.

They'll chuffing poop themselves when the barmy army get going then!!!

I'll be disappointed if there isn't a bit of a scrap in Wollongong.

I really hope not, we have a bad enough rep as it is!

One thing I noticed when in Australia last time. No matter how old you are, you will be asked to show ID to get into bars. I was 35 last time I went and thought it was hilarious.

sorry missed this post earlier. there are trains back to sydney on the night but one leaves at 9.53 then there is a gap of an hour or so, but yes you can get there and back on the train. the train station looks to be around 10 minutes walk from the ground

I'll hopefully be somewhere over Iraq this time in 6 weeks.

Four out of five in my gee-gee accumulator.


One horse away from Australasia.
B@stardo!!!

Tickets bought for both the Hull games and also the Rhino's game. Looks like tickets selling very well for the Win Stadium match. 33 days till Rob and I fly out.
