MelbYork Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Just wondering if there are any LUFC or general football fans out there for my die-hard hubby. We moved over this week from York, and I'm keen to find him some common ground to help him settle in. (I'm Melbourne born and bred). He's a massive football fan, and also loves real ale and music. I know there's a LUFC supporters group in Victoria, but unsure how active they are, and it would also be great for me to meet some other long suffering wives/partners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I can't think of any at the top of my head but tell him to join up to this thread http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/chewing-fat/90384-football-thread.html also try asking on the Melbourne forum http://www.lifeinvictoria.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petkula73 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Why would anyone miss Leeds United?! They're a joke nowadays. Get him in to AFL - cheap as chips, great game and you're never short of something to talk about. If he's a Leeds fan he'll fit in well as a Collingwood fan(!) If he's a proper Yorkshireman he should also like his cricket. Melbourne Stars Twenty20 is a really good night out from Dec to Jan. Best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARYROSE02 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I did a bit of Googling because I'm in Sydney. I found out that Spurs fans meet at the Imperial Hotel in Bourke Street and also found a site that seems to list pubs that are open through the night. You have to make sure they have Setanta too, as I think most non-EPL games are shown on there, not Foxtel? http://www.bbmlive.com/watch-english-premier-league-live-in-melbourne I see Leeds Utd fans meet at the Charles Dickens Tavern. About Leeds United Victoria (est. 2005) is a large group of LUFC fans from Melbourne, Australia. TV games screened at Charles Dickens Tavern. http://www.leedsunitedvictoria.com/ I don't know what has gone wrong with Leeds Utd? It's bad enough being a Spurs fan, but at least we seem to have kept our finances in the black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MelbYork Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 Hi Jayk, Sorry for the lag, & hope the last minute prep for your move is going well. Where outside York are you from? Hubby is from Pickering way. He's been back there since the start of the year with family stuff, but is returning to Melb at the end of June. He didn't get a chance to get involved with the Victorian LUFC supporters club when he was last over, but is dead keen to this time around. Looks like they have a good Facebook and Twitter page, and he's planning on heading to the Charles Dickens Tavern the next time they show a Leeds game. Give us a holler if you ever want to catch up for a pint and talk football. Cheers, Marde. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to know almost every player, Sprake/Harvey, Giles, Reaney?? (Not Rooney!) Giles, Clark, Jones, Lorimer, Hunter, Bremner, Cherry, Johansen, Madeley, Greenhoff?, must have just about got 1965 Cup Final team? Jack Charlton! Were there two Greenhoffs? Brian Jimmy?
