FAO UK based pies

[cdms811]

Not only are we on ESPN this week, the bombers game next week is on also

 

[Subtemperate]

We also had the St's game, and the Bulldogs game on delayed telecast....

So we have been lucky enough to see the pies in 4 of the first 5 matches.

Don't ask me exactly how he did this, but my mate when I was living in London had something attached to his brothers foxtel back in melbourne so he could see on his computer everything his brother was watching in melbourne. He and his brother were saints fans so he always knew his brother would be watching it.
Me being computer-illiterate and without magpie fan brother had to settle with ESPN or delayed games at the pub.

Talking of the UK, apart from me and Subtemperate, who else is out here?

 

[The Big League]

I'll be there shortly lads.

Yep, 6 months into a 'god-knows-how-long' working holiday in London.

Anyone involved in the ANZAC Day Cup on the 24th? It's held out at Grasshoppers Rugby Club in Osterley (West London)?

Hi to all our UK based fans............

Seems like I am in little london here in WA. Kingsley in Perth is chocca's full of Poms.... cannot find any that like the pies though..... they all talk about something called soccer!!!!!!

 

[mazzo]

I'm here also, nearly two years in with no leaving date.

 

[richiebreno]

Just got back from a few years in London, but will probably be back there next year I reckon. Any boys here play over there? I had a couple of stints with Wandsworth and North London just filling in when they needed me (couldn't train coz of work).

Yeah I am considering doing the same thing. Only get one game a week in Canada.

You get your friend in Australia to purchase the box (forget the name..will edit when I find the post I did last year) and connect it to their cable box and you tell them what your IP address in the UK or any other country is and then you download the software on your computer. Then you can watch any channel (on your computer) that is available on that tv in Australia.

I know it sucks to go there, but the She Bu Walkabout shows games with commentary in the upstairs part.

So the slug is opening in wimbledon hey? Will be interesting to see if its as popular down there.

Yep 10am Saturday morning at Shephard Bush Walkie. Not sure if it is upstairs or not, certainly hoping so.

Wimbledon is a surprise, might be a little bit to far out to be as popular as it was in Fulham, but you never know.

 

[handy point]

Was there (based in Upminster, East London) 2008-09. Random sighting of a Pies jumper in the main street of Upminster, one northern winter evening.

Going back for a three week catchup with friends and former workmates in July this year. Might try to make it out to the Slug for the Pies games.

Get in, Carton game is on ESPN and North game on next week. Might as well rename ESPN to CTV!

yep, loving it.

and i've been ragging my work to get espn hooked up so i don't have to take sick days for Friday night games. i reckon they're close to cracking too.

 

[Subtemperate]

To be exact we have had every game televised except for the melbourne one.... And we still have the Carlton, North, Freo and Geel games to come before they even start announcing the next weeks after that....
