    I don't think he groaned at you per say, just the information that you provided, as he was dissappointed about no telecast....the groan system sucks.

    no, its called being a realist mate. Like Em-Forcer stated in another thread, if the games aren't even going to be televised in the UK we would probably have a slim to none chance of seeing them here. Citing precedent of previous end of year tours made by the Waratahs and Reds

    J83, So we should cop it sweet and not ask for what we deserve?

    That is FULL BROADCASTS OF THE GAME LIVE INTO AUSTRALIA?

    I'm sure people won't think any less of you if you have a few groans next to your name.

    did i say that? No. But if theres no plans for a local broadcast, how are they going to beam it into our lounge rooms. The only cameras that will probably be there are small hand held ones that will be there to get footage for training purposes. I would love to see these games as well, then again i would like to see all the Force pre-season games eg against the Crusaders from Melbourne. We cant always get what we want unfortunately, bitching and having a go at people here wont make a differance

    There will very likely be broadcast quality footage being shot, possibly from a single camera which we *may* be able to acquire at some stage as we have in the past for pre-season/post-season matches. Will be a little harder getting I imagine though. Australian matches are often recorded by SportsRecordingServices and I've purchased copies of games from them before. If people are dead keen to see these matches after the fact, their people may be able to contact people in the UK to organise something?

    Nice one coach, Could you give Mick Earsman a clip under ear and get him to get these games broadcast or at least find out if they are?

    I quote myself from another thread (Western Force UK Tour Dates - Page 2 - Western Force Rugby Supporters Site).
    Haven't found details for Leicester yet.
    I would assume there'd be tickets available on the gate for matches like this, though in some cases (see Newcastle, below) there are bargains to be had in advance.

    Newcastle Falcons:
    Fri 8 Aug - 8pm - Falcons v Force
    Call (+44) 871 226 6060 for tix. £15 seat, £10 terrace till 5 July, then prices increase over time.
    Matt Burke Charity Farewell Dinner - Wed 6 Aug
    And - tbc - Twenty20 cricket game - Falcons v Force!

    Saracens:
    Tue 12 Aug - time tbc - Saracens A-team v Force Academy
    Fri 15 Aug - 7.30pm tbc - Saracens v Force
    Both matches at OAC in St Albans
    NB Middlesex 7s are on Sat 16th Aug at Twickenham if you want to make a w-e of it! (who knows - maybe the Force boys will have the same idea...)

    Saints:
    Sat 23 Aug - 3pm - Saints v Force
    Tue 27 Aug - 7pm - Saints Wanderers v Force Academy
    Call (+44) 1604 581000 for tickets


    And also reiterate my question:
    Anyone want to get together for a few tickets for the dinner in Newcastle on 6 Aug?
