Our first stop is the World's Best fishing Lure manufacturer...they make over 4,000 different lures...bet you didn't know that bit of trivia!!! We then move further east to Green Bay. We're attending the football match tonight between the Green Bay Packers and the Cleveland Browns. It is only a pre-season match, but it should still be good. Since we arrive at Green Bay early we suss out the ground and the shop. I've been to the Collingwood Supporters shop and thought they had a lot of stuff. Believe me these guys outdo anything the AFL has, ten fold. There is anything from BBQs, drinks, towels, hats, jumpers, T-shirts, cards, magnets, etc, etc. etc.. You name it and they will probably have it to sell, in the Green Bay Packers green and gold. We arrive at the ground at 5pm and soak up the atmosphere. The car park is full of BBQs and beer. At our seats, a very nice gentleman and his daughter sitting next to us explained the the finer points of the game, mainly the scoring. For 60 minutes of football, the game lasts for 3 hours and 15 minutes and only a 15 minute break at half time!! Enjoyed it, didn't always understand it, but gee the football gets in the way of the entertainment! By the way the score was Packers 10 Browns 32, but it was a pre-season ... the Packers are favourite the the super bowl. Had a few showers during the game, but overall the day was cloudy but fine.

Hopefully Collingwood don't follow there marketing!!!!We don't need anymore Collingwood stuff especially BBQ's which I'm sure Pete would get a bbq quicker if it was a Collingwood one. Anyhow sounds like the game got in the way of entertainment. It must have been quite spectactular. Wend
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely correct in that we do not need anymore Magpie souvenir items as that franchise is over-rated, but we could use many more Geelong Cats items. I have a nice scarf, polo shirt, mug, and mini-footie items with blue and white markings. My favorite is the Cats lunch box that I carry into my Indiana classroom each day.
ReplyDeleteGO CATS!!! GO FORD!!! Of course I am an avid supporter of my home state team the Indianapolis Colts (blue and white of course). Go Colts!!
It took me a while but I am understanding more about Aussie Rules and find it a fast paced game. Go AFL! GO NFL!
Blow his comment...It's black and white in my house...lol
