Summer 2014

Tickets for the Rugby World Cup will be oversubscribed; the prices are very high, even for the pool games.

I'm on a list for tickets but it will be a bit of a lottery to get any.

They are being offered to club supporters first I believe

Looking forward to the tennis and the games, couldn't care less sbout football or which flag is flown

I think they must be pre-Rugby World Cup Events. I've overheard many intense conversations this week about the Olympic Stadium, and Villa Stadium in Birmingham, and this pool and that round and who will get through. And quarter-finals and semi-finals and finals, and then he said to be aware that he was getting tickets for September/October. Oh, I'll tag along, I enjoy the atmosphere at rugby games .

I don't know granyknot but the Rugby Union world cup is in England next year. They do not have one every year. It was in Australia last year I think?
So he is either buying tickets early for 2015 or there are some pre-world-cup events in the offing? Anyway i hope you are spending an absolute fortune on your own hobbies and interests as well (unless you are going to the games too?) Or planning a nice little holiday with someone who is not DH.

Ruby that sounds like fun.

FOR! damn Kindle.

We will watch the World Cup with a gang of friends in the village. 'Hosts' have been drawn for each match and will provide half-time refreshments in the style of the country we are playing. There will be lots of decorations up etc. We do it for each World Cup and Euro matches. We did Portuguese food some years ago and Slovenian, which was a bit of a challenge.

Fir not fir!

Why are they selling tickets for games in September this year?

Jess I'm because husband is spending money on tickets and gear fir games this year!

Spare me the world cup hype! I like the Commonwealth Games but will be in France except for the first week. I doubt if the French will be broadcasting the news from Glasgow. Now, the Rugby World Cup - that's another matter!

Grannyknot I think that is 2015 isn't it???
It's true, there are a lot of northern English people in particular, in N Wales and no doubt there will be some football watched. No idea who the Welsh will be cheering for though. The Brazilian demonstrators probably.
What is the betting the sun shines non stop in competition.

I shall watch a little of everything but definately NOT any football. If there are any Union Jack flags flying rose I just hope they are flying the right way up and not indicating distress.

There's no escape!

Rugby World Cup starts in September this year:

There are lots of English living in Wales! Are we brave enough to fly the flag without everyone thinking we voted BNP? or do we care enough about football? DS does but I don't.
