Ben and Hannas Trip 2007

We are Geelong the GREATEST team of all!!!

Go Cats!!!!
So we thought we would tell you how our day went on Grand Final day.
We all got up between 4:30am and 5:30am to discover that "Satanta" (Similar to Foxtel) wasnt going to work!!! Ben & Justins hearts fell to the floor. We tried calling them to get it all working but they didnt open til 8am. Devistating! First bounce was at 5:30am and it didnt look like we were going to be able to watch it.
So we called all the Walkabout pubs to see if we had the wrong chanel... it turned out some people were having technical difficulties. So We decided we had to do something and fast. We all decided to drive to London (an hour away) and try to watch a re run with out anyone telling us the scores or anything of the sort. No such luck for sure.
We found out that the walk about in Sheapards Bush was playing it for the first time at 9:30am. We all switched off our mobile phones and drove into London. Alex has a Tomtom (Sat Nav) so we had our directions it was all a matter of traffic. We didnt have any trouble at all. We made it in 49 mins. We found car parks in a side street that we didnt need tickets for, then when we got to the Walkabout, it was free to get in and we were one of the first ones there!!!
Not one person spoilt the results for us. All the people who were around in Sheapards Bush were waiting to come in and watchthe game. Amazing.
In the end we had an awesome time and watching the Catters thrash Port in a pub in London with the day we had has turned out to be one of the most memorable day ever! If you cant be at the MCG then where else would be as memorable???
So all in all we had an awesome day apart from being up at 4:30am.
We got back to Justin & Simones and turned our phones back on and the messages and phone calls came fludding in!!! Thanks Guys.

    Woo hoo!! Carn the mighty Catters!

    Good work guys... I'm glad you managed to find somewhere to watch it and not have the game spoilt for you (and wasn't it a great game??).
    Neil will be very happy to know the effort you went to! hehe

    Geelong has been insane (the town). I tell you what, I've never seen anything like it! Driving through town at 7pm on grand final night was bizarre and exciting. It was like 5 New Years Eve's all rolled into one.
