[Archived] Uefa Cup

[DP]

Help!! Only just been informed that its an 11 a side game, we are short of players. I have 8 max. Hoping SAS is going to get a few more but if anyone fancies a kick around, please PM me.

Been a lack of info on this all round so apologies for the desperate request. If you know anyone who'll play, please post their name or PM me.

Cheers

John

If all my trains connect (and they should) then I'll be checked in to my hotel about 2pm and can head over to the sportsground for the game. I'm assuming it's not too serious and I can play in pub trainers and have a beer at half time etc?

Why don't you flick through the Sky EPG after 400 and find out.

EDIT - 410 on sky - according to Wikipedia

521 on ntl

They probably haven't updated the EPG as yet. It looks like this announcement was only made about an hour ago on the web site.

Will other games be on at the same time? I think I'll struggle to get a pub to put on Rovers if Spurs, West Ham or Newcastle are showing.

I think so, but you have to pay extra

[pksrover]

any pubs in manchester broadcasting british eurosport?

[AggyBlue]

I think so, but you have to pay extra

You need to buy a top up card. Your receiver must be a newer version that has a slot to accept the card.

My TV has Digital built in but no slot

Ribblesdale, can you talk any landlords up the top end to show our match? If so , let me know.

[andrew92]

is it on tv. cas evry 1 else is. i thought it might be on a stupid channel

It was mentioned earlier in this thread that Salzburg were recently taken over by the owner of Red Bull and were renamed from SV Austria Salzburg to Red Bull Salzburg, and that their traditional violet and white colours were changed to red and white to match the new sponsors colours.

Well the latest edition of When Saturday Comes carries an update on the story. Apparently, a number of the traditional fans have left and formed a new club (called SV Austria Salzburg naturally enough) in much the same way as fans of Wimbledon and Man U formed AFC Wimbledon and FC United.

The article itself is too long to repeat, and it isn't on the internet (as far as I know), but here's the paragraph that interests us in particular (the match it refers to is Salzburg's Champions League Qualifier against FC Zurich held in August):

Blackburn fans who travel to this month's UEFA Cup tie can expect to find a commercialised matchday experience that resembles an aggressive timeshare pitch held in a circus tent. Against the backdrop of the energy drink's omnipresent logo and name (Bullen-Arena, Bulls' Corner, Bullshop - you shudder to think how they'd rebrand the toilets), the [match] seemed a mere footnote to the pre-match parade of trapeze artists, BMX cyclists, disco lights and obligatory ball-carrying parachutist. And with the vocal violet-white fans now long gone, the muted support of the new Red Bull event consumers made the racist grunting aimed at Zurich's Guinean striker Alhassane Keita all the more audible.

[Wiz372]

Surely you havn't left the GF at home Glenn.Mine would kill me if I left her at home.See ya at the pitch.

I am led to believe the GF is going.

His wife is staying at home. :ph34r:
