DISCUSSIONS > Tassie tour I - Queensland, August 27-29
Chuq Date posted Replies

My work trip to Qld has been confirmed, so I will be in SE Queensland during the weekend of August 27-29.  This means I'll be able to attend both the Brisbane v Wellington match at Lang Park on Friday night, and Gold Coast v Melbourne at Robina Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

I'd like to suggest this weekend as the first "Tassie tour" weekend.  Going by the silence in the "Tassie tour" thread, I'm assuming there won't be any more travellers from Tassie (though obviously you are more than welcome - perhaps a definitive date might help people to decide?) but one area in which I would like people's help ... do you know any ex-pat Tassie football fans currently living in Brisbane/Gold Coast?

I'm going to canvas the Roar and GCU forums .. maybe Facebook too .. any more ideas?

I'm an ex-tassie boy living in Brisbane now. I used to play with Norther Rangers a few years ago. I go to most of the games up here, so I'll be there!

Sounds great!  As you can imagine "Football (soccer) fans, from Tasmania, living in Brisbane" is a very specific group of people ... I'm amazed I actually found one of you on here :)

Do you mind either passing on your email address or joining the event on facebook (if you use facebook) - http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=138316386201852 - obviously it will be a small group so will co-ordinate things closer to the time  Do you think you'll be able to attend both matches?

That's a bit of bad luck :(  My work trip is actually 24-27th but I'm staying a few more days!

As an ex-Novocastrian I am hoping to get to some of the Jets games in Melbourne. Although I'll probably sit with the Jets fans I'd be up for doing something Tassie related

I am going to Melbourne vs Sydney and Melbourne vs Perth on the 7th and 14th of August so I’m sorry but I don’t think I can make this one. I would have loved to come, especially the Gold Coast vs Melbourne Victory game but unless I can get really cheap flights I won’t be able to make it. Down the track we will defiantly try and come to a few, I hope we can get a few travelling supporters.

 

Also make sure you go onto the Roar and GGU forums like you said but also try the Wellington and Melbourne Victory ones to.

Hey Chuq - have you had any luck talking to people on any of the other forums about this trip? I'm sorry that I couldn't come, I would have loved to watch Gold Coast vs Melbourne Victory! I hope you can find some people to join you and even some poeple from Tasmania might join you hopefully

I'm waiting for the next Tottenham visit to OZ before I go back to the mainland. No seriosly though I will be hoping to get to a Melbourne fixture sometime during the season - that is about all i can front up for in smackaroos at present.
