Course you can Allie just tell me where we can pick you up and the jobs done. It's a late one mind 10.15 kick off. So I got only a couple more seats left, anyone else?

Can you really think I would be so stupid as to believe there would be an American football stadium IN SAUDI ARABIA?

Moe, I was pulling your leg. I thought you'd know it's yet one more thing forbidden to women (not allowed in the stadium)  

But hey, thanks!

Never mind that. This could turn into a flame. Better go back to my den. Cheers.

Shit , slipped past me that one. Another something a chick can,t do in Ksa. Bad stuff, we could have educated you in the art of - forgive me Lordy- "soccer" believe me I will never utter the S word again.

@Moe  actually, I have read that it was the BRITS who invented the word 'soccer'  (google it, I dare ya!).

And I need no education--I've been an avid fan of international 'football' since WorldCup '94 !!  Even managed to catch most of the games on TV the last time around here in KSA.

But thanks again

Bruckner, sorry if I sounded harsh.  I know you were just trying to be helpful.

Got to go to Dubai for some real Football the game for holigans played by gentlemen called Rugby Football! Rather than the one with the round ball …… and often said played and in many countries watched as Euro 2012 showed by holigans!

Now for the small print as Alli is in the thred! :-)

This is the view of the author and no animals small or large were hurt in the writing of the these few words. No person alive or dead ……… oh you know the rest!

Bit far to go (Dubai) on a Tuesday night for a game I have no interest in, and what is a Holigan, are you implying i am one cos I watch the round ball game?

Moestavern

I am sorry mate not implying any such thing!

Al Hilal games are fine for Brits. Later in the season they attract crowds of about 30,000. Their ultras add a bit of atmos. It's a bit expensive given the quality on show, I paid SAR150 last time I went for a so so seat. I guess there's food but I didn't buy any.

I would double check where it's being played coz last time I went it was scheduled at the Fahd stadium but was played at the other smaller ground just off the mekkah road (forgot the name).

Standard is about English league 1 at best althought the korean boy up front can be a bit useful. As with most arab teams the keeper is a joke and usually contrives to make a few goals.

Thanks a lot man, been looking for info all over the net but to no avail, deffo on at King Fahd so the crowd will look a bit sparse if less than 30k, although its the first home game of the season so it could be a decent turn out. Will do a little report tomorrow on the proceedings, should be a laugh if nowt else, 150 Sar is a bargain compaired to back home, Chelsea charging 55 quid for away fans this year, scandalous.
Thanks again
Al

Thanks Allie but I am sure your not allowed to have fun though, this will be my first sober football match since I was about 13, and that includes when I was playing as well!!
What happens if I find that I see a different game and I don,t like it!!!!!!

LOL!

Good point!  Could  be you just like drinking beer in loud stadiums!

I'm off for a couple of weeks, I'll ping you when I'm back if you're going again. I'm always up for local football... got to be a team in blue though (hence my moniker).

Thanks for that, in the end we did not go as we were told too late about the tickets so we thought we would not be able to pay on the door.
Have you any idea how to buy tickets online as I have googled it but nothing comes back, no wonder there are not many people going if you can,t buy tickets!!!
