bigrbuk Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 ...you mean...I get to see Francis Jeffers on a football pitch again?! sweet jesus! I was fortunate enough to see him score for Wednesday, against Charlton I think it was. Once in a lifetime moment that. Nothing's concrete or confirmed yet, its all a bit up in the air, hopefully looking to move in 6-7 months or there abouts so I'll be in touch! Have you gone through the VISA process already then? I've taken the pre-lim questionnaire and have enough points, but not gone further than that. How difficult is it all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strewthbury Owl Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 The company I'll be working for will sort the visa out. It'll probably take a while though. You'll have to ask an ex-pat I'm afraid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Aussie_Dave Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Well mate you picked a good city sporting capital of the world. Football wise 2 local teams victory and Heart. Play our summer so English winter is a similar standard to what I have seen of league one games. For example Jeffers plays out here and still looks poo poo! All the premier league games are on pay tv also get Spanish, MLS, German and the European comps. So plenty to watch but you will be left searching for random streams of Wednesday games. As for deadly animals Melbourne is pretty safe been here 7 years and the only thing that's has tried to kill me are some of the drivers out here! Good luck with the move and if you want an advice feel free to ask Matt wrong, there's 1 it's victory, if i see a wednesday shirt supporting heart i will hunt who ever it is down and re-program you in a clockwork orange-esque fashion but you'll be forced to watch kevin muscat videos until you love him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Melb Owl Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 wrong, there's 1 it's victory, if i see a wednesday shirt supporting heart i will hunt who ever it is down and re-program you in a clockwork orange-esque fashion but you'll be forced to watch kevin muscat videos until you love him Went to a few victory games and hated it maybe where I was sitting who knows. Then heart came along gave the club where I coach a lot of money and support, then they sign Sibon so I went ok deal but u will never where anything other than the away shirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strewthbury Owl Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I've just looked at their league table. Solid mid. That's my sort of team right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aussie_Dave Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 this is the worst season victory has had in a fair while, we are the biggest team in the country in terms of fans and trophies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strewthbury Owl Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Not so keen on the kit mind, reminds me of Chelsea a bit what with the fluorescent away kit and all. What's the quality of the league like? Are games shown fairly often over there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aussie_Dave Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) Well it's adidas so it basically is the chelsea kit quality varies wildly, a few championship calibre players (maybe one or two who could get an EPL contract ala harry kewell) but then at the low end there is A LOT of players who couldn't make a league team. There is always 2 or 3 teams that play good attacking football each year though. Every game is shown live on pay tv Edited February 4, 2012 by Aussie_Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
