Gold Coast Prematch Pub Details

AndyinBrisbane from the forum has organised a pub for all MVFC supporters attending the Gold Coast Match on Saturday.

WARNING: There are no pubs within walking distance of Skilled Park.

Fiddlers Green Irish Pub
39 Cavill Avenue, Surfers Paradise

Doors open 10am

These guys are good enough to have us back. Still in talks about a pint deal, details to follow.

Food available, taxi rank outside the door.

Free advice: I strongly urge you to make friends at the pub and split a maxi cab to the ground. A one-way cab fare is around $50 from Surfers. Splitting the fare in a full maxi brings it down to around the $10-mark each. It also helps if you can convince the driver to meet you post-match for a lift back into town to avoid the wait.

Prematch singing is permitted, being a right **** is not.

Check out the thread on the forum for more details.

 

Tuesday News Clippings

MVFC chairman Anthony Di Pietro has joined in the chorus of dissatisfaction aimed at Clive Palmer today.

Last night on TWG Mr Palmer claimed that he was taken out of context by the press. According to him he really does like football, and is proud of his club. Bit of a backflip from being insignificant!

Having spent over $18 million on the Gold Coast, Clive Palmer has well and truly turned on Ben Buckley. He believes too much money is spent on the FFA executives, which includes Buckley, and not enough on the A-League.

Harry Kewell is expected to be called up for the Socceroos World Cup qualifier against Saudia Arabia that is taking place at AAMI park later this month. This is even after Kewell felt that Holger Osieck was giving him the cold shoulder at the last training camp. The squad will be announced today.

Seeing as it’s such a slow news day on the MVFC front, check out the newest edition of IFM, an independant football magazine for the Victory faithful.

Monday Morning News Clippings

Welcome to the first of many, I hope, daily news roundups. Check back here for the latest news clippings that cover Melbourne Victory and the A-League in general.

Northern Irishmen Jim Magilton is taking the positives out of Victory’s defeat to Brisbane on Sunday, even though it all but ended their chance to make the finals

After yesterdays hissy fit, mining magnate Clive Palmer’s A-League future, and that of his Gold Coast United franchise, seems to be coming to a very messy end. Ben Buckley responded, but according to several pundits Frank Lowy has lost his patience and wants Clive out. While some think that he will stick around to be the thorn in the FFA’s proverbial backside.

So, out with one tycoon and in with another. It seems Lowy is trying to hit up a mysterious business friend from Western Sydney, who may or may not be related to Primo Smallgoods, to start up a new team there. The plan is to rush the club in for next season. That worked really well last time, didn’t it!
