Re: Official KUMB tour Toronto 2008
when i first came to 'ouston the only airline flying the route direct was b-cal.
i think it was a 707 (coulda bin a 727) but it was packed like sardines for 10.5 hours. when the stewie (they weren't called flight attendants in those days), had the meal/drinks cart in the aisle you couldn't use the toilet....
THAT was a ****ing nightmare...
went back to england via the big apple on a 747. 3.5 hour lay over but it was comfortable .....
sod that...
know what ya mean big fella !!!

Any news from the West Coast & Vancouver Rich ??
They were chucking the 'promotional seat pads' that some bright spark had decided to give to each ticket holder . . .
And, no news yet about any possible game with the Whitecaps this summer . . .

Just been there. Was full of middleaged fat, sweaty, drunk American/Canadian birds with there even fatter and sweatier other halfs and fat obnoxious kids from Hell. Not a single (female!!!) breast on sight.....so Toronto is probably the best bet!!!!'ouston 'ammer wrote: bin Cancun, it will be full of fit birds, tits out, sun, sand and blue ocean. whereas Toronto will be full of middle aged drunken ex-football hooligans !!

Neither has been confirmed. Although the All Star game seems to be a shoe in, as its being reported everywhere.
The Vancouver thing has gone quite so i don't know what to make of that

I don’t think Fulham, Chelsea, or Celtic played any other games in addition to the MLS All-Star game.Coley wrote:Neither has been confirmed. Although the All Star game seems to be a shoe in, as its being reported everywhere.

I can't get hold of anyone from the club this weekend (Seems like their PR and media contacts are all away for Easter) so I'll try and call again next week and see if the Vancouver match is going ahead or not.
I'll post any info I get ASAP.

Not if it was at that scale.You'd get a lifetime ban at UP for doing that . . .
.. if it was one person slinging a frisbee at one of the players, it would result in a ban and rightly so.

I remember that, got to be a contender for worst promotional item ever.
"I know we have not scored yet, but let go ahead and give everyone a nice round "frisbee" shaped seat cushion as they walk in. I am sure no one will be tempted to throw it if we do score" :lol:

Re: Official KUMB tour Toronto 2008
Does anyone know if West Ham will get a ticket allocation for this game and, if so, can we get tickets through the club?
The reason I ask is that I've had a mate who works in marketing for the Detroit Ignition MISL side try and get me tickets and there's nothing doing. Most of the tickets have already been taken up by the season ticket holders.There seem to be a few tickets for sale through some of the agencies but, the starting price is $400.
