I just called Civic Pub and they said "yes" to being kid friendly. So...England fans....Civic Pub it is!!!! We'll be there at 7.30am. Look for a blonde chick (Kate) and a tall 15 yr old male (Jake) - both in England shirts and come and say, "Hi!" and join us. Roooooooooney!!!!

Hey Steve - we were going to go to King O'Malleys, but my 15yr old son couldn't go in (and he'd never forgive me if I went without him). I suspect it will be the same tomorrow, so we'll watch the England game tomorrow morning at the Dickson Tradies - we'll be in our England shirts. Let me know if you're up for coming along. Our first time out of the UK for a World Cup too....need some fellow football fans....who know it's called football and not soccer!!!!

Hiya - with regards to the World Cup, I've been chatting to the owner of King O'Malleys (who I've done some charity stuff with before). He's a fantastic guy and ALWAYS willing to do different sorts of things. Certainly for the first Aus & England games, that both KO at 8am AEST (Sat 14 June & Sun 15 June respectively), he's going to do a World Cup thing - open early/bacon sarnies etc. Given it's central, it might be a good place to meet up. I'll be there for both and I'm dragging some work mates along as well. For the England game, I just need to check whether or not my 15 yr old son can come too - he has his England shirt (signed by Stevie G.) ready to go and we are both used to getting very excited before the WC starts.......and then gradually becoming despondent.....particularly when penalties come up! Anyone who wants to join in, I'll send updated info closer to the time. Dare I say, "It's coming home....."
