I'm talking about real football, 19th Century when the football and rugby factions split. The 2 schools that wanted to keep handling, kicking people, gouging and punching walked out of the meeting, so that they became rugby and the majority became 'Association Football'.

Shit, was eric Cantona and roy Keane there?

Very funny.

I remember when Roy Keane was at Forest and he was a relatively 'nice young man' as Cloughie would have said. I wonder what happened there Mr Ferguson?

Ok all I can come up for a meeting place for Melbourne at this Point, Is Young and Jacksons, opposite Flinders St Station. I know for a fact that it gets packed out with UK fans, when the game is played at Olympic Park. I dont know exactly what happens when the Game is played at Telstra Dome.

There is also A UK venue in Swan St Richmond, again when the games are at Olympic Park, However no one I talked to could remember the name of it.

I'm going on Sunday, and will have a wander around amongst some fans, and ask them in person what is happening.

I'm probably meeting about 5 Palace fans of the CPFC BBS Sunday Still havn't set the Venue as of yet.


Anyway Go Victory, 5 outta 5 cannot be bad.

Just back from the Victory v Qld Roar game here in Melbourne. Fantastic atmosphere. With the standard a lot better than last game I saw where Melbourne broke the football attendance record of 40,000 again Sydney.

This time only, lol "only" 26,000 die hard supporters turned up, on a warm day here in melbourne, 25 degrees on a sunday arvo, the day after the grand final, with the rugby league final, between Melbourne and the Broncos being played live on tv later today. Not a bad effort from Melbournes real football following public.

I watched the game, with some Palace company, in amongst a lot of UK orientated fans, I hav'nt as yet worked out where they meet pre match yet, there again with a bar in the ground it's easy to socialise. What a bar as well, two floors up behind the goal, with about 30 metres or more of window over looking the pitch, bit like the old day terraces with a beer in hand.

Anyway... I throughly recommend it.... I think I'm witnessing the birth of something great here.

Come along guys, and follow your local city here in Aussie.

21st of October, Sydney v Melbourne, apparently there are over 300 Melbourne supporters going up to Sydney.

I'm considering going, as there are a susbtantial amount of Palace supporters going to meet up up there. At the Cricketers arms, in Surrey hills.

Give us a hoy if you are interested in going up from Melbourne.
