KICK ABOUT - SUNDAY 3PM AT THE BEACH BY GIANT WHALE SCULPTURE. LOOK FOR BANNER WITH MASCHERANO ON IT TO FIND US!

I'm at 07590 036 339.

OK, there's been some paltry efforts at organsation in the original thread so let's have a go here. Who's going and where are you gonna be?

Me and RedRedTom are off on Thursday evening, from JLA, back Monday, again to JLA.

We're staying just off the Ramblas in Gotica. Anyone fancy a beach kick about on the Saturday?

I do, what time???

steelersmark · « **Reply #2 on:** July 27, 2009, 08:15:11 pm »

Well there's no hurry like, make it 3 in the afternoon. Can anyone with some local knowledge suggest a meeting point?

GinKop · « **Reply #3 on:** July 27, 2009, 08:48:49 pm »

For the footy? The massive whale statue on the beach?

Didn't get the time off work - having to go in September now for the Barca vs. Atleti game.

steelersmark · « **Reply #4 on:** July 27, 2009, 09:02:20 pm »

Ok.

How about a kick about at the beach at 3pm, Saturday. Meet by the big whale statue. We'll hang up/lay out our Mascherano banner so we can be found.

Sound good to everyone?

IGZ · « **Reply #5 on:** July 27, 2009, 09:52:54 pm »

fuckin gutted to be missing a kick about, we fly sunday morning jla = barca, come back tuesday. whats happening sunday ? another game ?

steelersmark · « **Reply #6 on:** July 27, 2009, 10:09:42 pm »

Wanna make it Sunday? Kick about then go the match sounds like a good idea? We could do Sunday at 3, same place?

SP · « **Reply #7 on:** July 27, 2009, 11:54:59 pm »

I'll attempt to be there, but as I am getting married the following Saturday, I may well have acute alcohol poisoning by that point. But I am crap when sober too...

Could do Saturday or Sunday...

steelersmark · « **Reply #8 on:** July 28, 2009, 12:09:04 am »

Let's make it Sunday.

Sunday 3pm on the beach by the big whale sculpture. Look out for the Mascherano banner either hanging up or laying out. Footie and drinks and then on to the match. Sounds like a good afternoon that.

Me and a mate are going on friday morning, coming back monday.

flying from doncaster as ive got family there, so leaving the car and getting lift to airport

Iberia just upgraded the return leg of my economy class flights to Business Class. Knew it was a good move swerving easyjet.

Jonathan Hall ☆☆☆☆☆☆ · « **Reply #16 on:** July 28, 2009, 09:10:31 pm »

Yes, but Iberia are as good as Ryanair but somehow more rude, so business class will be like Easyjet but with free drinks...

Sounds good to me - the drinks are after all the essentials. I worked in London for 13 years so have been ground down to expect rudeness.

Last time I was upgraded I had my car parked at the airport, so got orange juice out of a champagne flute. It was not the same.

Barefoot football on a fairly stony beach is painful idiocy. Good fun though...

Result was a downer but it was a good trip despite that...
