Title: Victory parade
Post by: larwood on Tuesday, September 6, 2005, 11:32:50
The Ecb have"provisionally booked" Trafalgar square for next tuesday,so the England team can have a parade through london.It seems a tad excessive to me[unless we win],what if we lose at the oval?,it would be  a massive anti-climax.

Whay do they always have this sort of thin on a weekday?  God damn the bloody authorites!

Hope it is a victory parade though, and not a day for commiserations.

That's probably why it's "provisionally booked", so if we lose they can cancel it...

Well you could go back to a life of unemployment quite easily.  Whether you should of course is another question!

I was reading that they are comparing potentially winning the ashes to winning the world cup in '66!  What a load of bollocks!  Dont get me wrong winning the ashes is going to be fucking brilliant and i'll revel in it but comparing it to the world cup  :-))(

i think winning the ashes will be a bigger achievement than the rugby boys in 2003. they were expected to win the cricket team wasnt. but the 66 world cup no way! that was better!

I went yesterday :beers:  :D .It was fucking fantastic at trafalgar square,seeing both of the england teams and cheering them on,freddie was fucked  :) and k.p was reveling in the adulation.We were singing about gary pratt and channel four :) ,we felt really privileged to be there thanking the lads.

It was a great day,but now its all over :( ,until late october anyway,so i'm back to worring about Swindon now,which at the moment seems a depressing thought because there is a lot to worry about :( .

I saw in the Times yesterday, that  Barmy army members in convict land are having an open top bus parade through sydney :) .
Plus the royal mail have said they are going to release some england stamps up to the value of 68 pence,why 68 pence?Because thats the cost of sending a letter down under! :)
