Canberra Olympic Friendly Rescheduled To August 14th

Shirts off in Canberra. If not, you're pussy.

Mate, we don't even take our shirts off to shower down here. Too cold. 

BOM forecast has it set to be relatively mild (by Canberra standards!) next Wednesday.

Partly cloudy. Winds west to northwesterly 15 to 25 km/h. 

Temps: Maximum 15 Minimum 1

(temp at kick off time 6.15pm likely to be around 7 degrees)

Sooo...is there at least a hill behind a goal or something?

No, unfortunately. It's all pretty flat due to the runways and shiz for athletics events. 

Shotgun the massive mattress.

So, a nice warm day by Canberra standards. Everyone from Sydney should remember to bring their snow gear.

I'm planning to, LOL.  i'm gonna freeze!!! 

Lots of jumping in the RBB to keep warm then, haha. 

I don't have snow gear xD

what a sh*t view.. bring your binoculars

Newcastle play a Canberra NPL 'All Star' side the following Wednesday at  McKellar Park here in Canberra!  It's such a better venue for football. Wanderers game venue is rubbish.. someone should say something.  I would, but I can't use words goodly.

what this doesn't show is off right of picture along south-western side there is a small open stand with seating/terracing - this raised area would be best for viewing

its along way from ideal for spectators, yet other factors are at play in decision to play here inc training facilities and accommodation for squad at AIS

the national U17s use it as a base and regularly play training games - the surface is fantastic

we should just make the most of it

I'll be at the Pub around midday.

i'll be on the road about 2pm.

what time are you planning on leaving the pub to get to the game ? i might just go straight to the ground......

I believe we plan to leave around 4:45.  And presuming that its a 3 hour drive for you it may be better to meet there. 

For those planning to get to pub early, I've alerted the manager to expect our supporters to trickle in from 12 noon onwards

we'll then move to the Castle Room from 2pm, which provides a good space for warm up singing

yeah i wouldn't be getting to Canberra until then, so looks like i'll be meeting you at the ground

Any road trips organized?

I didn't see much comment on this, is there anyone heading down on Wednesday afternoon that I could share a ride with? I'd help pay petrol $$...

The only reason I don't like the new RBB bar scarf is because comments like these^ aren't ******* hilarious anymore... Now its valid to ask for a scarf.... Aww I miss the old days... 

(But srs I wish I had the money for a bar scarf.)

Just a casual reminder:

Meet up at King O'Malleys pub tomorrow (Wed) will be from 2pm in the Castle Room set aside by management for our use inc singing!

Those who arrive earlier, it just informal gathering through any part of pub

We leave pub by 4-45pm for Route 300+ buses from Platform 3 in Civic, only 50 metres across from pub

15 mins trip and then get off at stop nearest to corner of Haydon Drive and Purdie Street in Bruce and then 15 min walk via Canberra Institute for Technology to AIS Athletic Field

see you in the Capital

( p.s. updated BOM forecast: Sunny morning. Isolated showers developing during the late afternoon and evening. Winds northwesterly 15 to 25 km/h increasing to 25 to 35 km/h in the late morning then tending westerly 20 to 25 km/h in the evening. Temps max 16 min 4 degrees )

I decided to book a hotel for night. Was $65 or so. Not bad.

Mum wasn't happy with the idea of driving back after midnight. Who disobeys their mother?
