Mrsbilly Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Hey everyone, I'm Zoe, 26 and a Mom of 2. My husband has just been promoted here. We're from Birmingham and arrived here the beginning of Dec. We don't know anyone and it's so so hard to meet people and make friends. Would love to get chatting to other Poms maybe have meets, get kids together to play and my hub would love a man's man (lol) to pub with and chat about football and other boring stuff We live in Waterloo but have a car to go anywhere, my daughter is starting school in the Eastern Suburbs end of January so will be there frequently too. Have a good day all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest benmackie Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Hi Zoe, I am always up for hitting the pub and chatting about football so if your husband fancies meeting up drop me a message. My wife is expecting our first child so you guys might be able to offer some advice to us on what to expect! We live in Vaucluse and I work in the city so happy to meet up wherever suits. cheers Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

star1976 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Hi Rachel/Mrs Billy. I have just posted about this topic on the forum. I'm from Scotland but my husband is from Darlington. I have a 4 year old daughter and live in Lilyfield. We have been in Sydney for over a year but finding it difficult to meet friends. Its much easier when you dont have kids and are out all the time! Do you fancy meeting up ladies ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrsbilly Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Hey all, sorry I've not responded, my little one has been poorly. I'm def up for a meet. How far is Lilyfield from the CBD star1976? I'm glad I'm not the only one finding it hard to talk to people and meet people. Thought I'd chat to moms at my eldest school but the aussies congregate with the aussie, the chinese congregate with the chinese and us Brits are left, it's sad really Oh well, look forward to hearing from you all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARYROSE02 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 If any of you are Spurs fans, then come down to The Triple Aces bar, corner of Campbell & Elizabeth Sts, Surry Hills, or check out www.ozspurs.com for further details. We are there for every EPL game and most others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Budge123 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Hi MaryRose 02 I know you posted this a while ago but we have only just joined the forum and noticed your post about spurs. My husband is spurs mad and a former season ticket holder and as we are new to Sydney as well thought it would be great to meet up. Do you still go to The Triple Aces Bar?

My husband is spurs mad and a former season ticket holder and as we are new to Sydney as well thought it would be great to meet up. Do you still go to The Triple Aces Bar? You should come down to 'the Aces!' as we are always there, some of us anyway. There was a few there last night or rather this morning for Spurs v Swansea. I had a little pub crawl with my mate Bill earlier, met him at The Strawberry Hills, then we walked up to The Clock on Crown then Kinsellas at Taylor Square then back down Oxford and Wentworth to the Aces. I had two schooners there and strolled back up Elizabeth St at 3.30am on a high! There are always some people there for the games and with the time difference back to 9 hours it should be easier. 7th April Saturday midnight is the next game isn't it? Sunderland V Spurs. Check out www.ozspurs.com too for details. I'm not sure what I'm doing before the game but I might go to The Trinity Bar in Surry Hills for a drink/meal. I have some other Pommie/Irish/Aussie friends who go there. I was there on Sat night actually. But it's a friendly crowd who get in the Aces and I've made a few good friends there. Steve, the guy who organizes it is off to UK though. Not that it matters as it's not a formal thing. Dave in Surry Hills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MARYROSE02 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I didn't know there were so many Spurs fans in Sydney. I wish they would all show up for the 2am, 415 am, 5 am kick offs on Sunday mornings, or weekdays! Spmetimes there will be only half a dozen of us for those 'red-eye' games. One of the guys got himself into a bit of strife last night swearing. Sometimes, he is OTT, BUT, he is also one of the small gang of regulars who never misses a game. These blokes are the backbone of OzSpurs and without them we'd be nothing, reduced to joining the part time fans of other clubs who congregate at 'neutral' zones like Cheers or Star City. Instead, we have our own 'club' with a supportive management who open the pub for the unsocial start times and, like last night, turn off the AFL so we can watch Spurs. I go to most of the games at the Triple Aces too but it's easy for me as I live 15 minutes walk away and I don't work. But many of the other guys travel long distances across the city for early kick offs and then carry on to work afterwards, often without even an hour's sleep. It's guys like him who do turn up week after week that ensure we have a venue of our own to go to. I am sometimes embarrassed by the language myself (especially when we play Arsenal) but we are also trying to recreate the atmosphere of an actual match. Some of our Aussie members have never lived in the UK and whilst they might make the occasional pilgrimage to 'Mecca', coming to the Aces is the closest they will ever get to being at an EPL game. For our 'new chum' members, it's a chance to pretend they are still season ticket holders to 'the Lane.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
