Speaking of fan parks...is it correct that the fan park in P ta will not be at the Union Buildings, but in Centurion?
A friend and I will be in South Africa for 10 days, we are soccer junkies and will be at 7 games in those 10 days. But I'm really looking forward to the possible meet up in Pretoria on June 16th!! That will be better than seeing Lion's and Rhino's anyday!!
Real meet up - not "Possible". Won't be as huge as Wits or Cape Town but should be just as good. Will coordinate closer to the time.
I'm sure it will be a great success.We haven't put anytime into it yet. A few days ago I started pushing the 16th in Durban and now there are 27 coming The 16th is a fantastic date for a meet.Firstly its a public holiday and secondly we have a South African match on that day. If ever you want to experience what this World Cup is about then you must join us in Irene(just 4 km from the fanfest in Centurion) or Durban Irene is still very close to Joburg-about 30 minutes from Sandton
32 hours on the ground. Arrive JNB on the morning of the 12th and head to Rustenburg for USA v England. Back to JNB after the match and out around midday on the 13th.
That must be a record for shortest World Cup visit, barring those who get turned away at the airport.
It should be a whirlwind. I'd love to spend some time at this cup, but at least I'll get a taste of the atmosphere to better enjoy the rest of the tournament on tv.
Whats happening on the 16th again? I have been so consumed with the personal stuff i'm doing for the world cup, that it probably has cost me seeing a match live at all....and it is still yet to be completed 100%. So only after this is sorted, i will be able to consider where i can be in world cup time.
Having a gettogether for everyone in Pretoria or going to the SA vs Uruguay game - will either be at my house in Irene or the Rietvlei Boma restaurant.
Finally (almost) everything is planned I would be in SA for 23 days, from 21 june to 13 july. 14 games, all 10 stadiums. L.
1) Gauteng Tshwane 2) stuff i printed to hand out...will be cool if someone here actually receives what i printed. As to what it is, will only reveal much later...first wanna see if someone actually runs into me...
