Aussie Rules
Hi all,
calling all sports-mad families,
just posting to point out that the new aussie rules season has begun and you can soothe the long waiting period by getting into this great Aussie sport. Channel 5 broadcasts it in the small hours of thursday morning so set your vids.
Once down-under its a great family event to go and watch the games, very kids friendly, and relatively cheap, about $30-$40 for a family of 4 compared to about £90 for the same family to watch a premier league football match in uk!
enjoy,
Pete

Re: Aussie Rules
And if you are in the US, FoxSportsNet at 11pm (east Coast) Thursdays also is running
coverage of one game/week. (they may have Sunday coverage as well, but it will be the
PREVIOUS weeks game).

Re: Aussie Rules
if you end up moving to Victoria, you will have more "Aussie Rules" than you can shake a stick at.....to the exclusion of all other sports.
all you rugby fans out there - make sure that when you come over, you leave a responsible adult in the UK to tape the 6 Nations, and the Premiership Rugby Union matches, as there is NO coverage of ANY sport that doesnt directly involve Australia.
you will also need to get Foxtel (equiv of Sky) to watch the Super 12 if you live in Victoria.
In summary - Victoria for Australian Rules "Cross Country Basketball", New South Wales for Rugby Union/League. Why on earth did i come to Victoria ???!! lmao !!
