shailesh Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 guys, WC is probably coming too soon for many of us to make it. But for those interested and living in US/UK/Canada/WI, UK tour in summer this year is a good opportunity. I for one see it as the last opportunity to watch many of our greats in action and will be giving a best shot to make it to UK for atleast one match It'll be great to know if any of our members are also planning for the same, if yes we can either team up and plan together or else share any useful information/experiences from guys who have been to or are in UK. So pl. post if you are interested or have any suggestions. Let's make it happen :wtg:

shailesh Posted January 29, 2007 Author Posted January 29, 2007 Re: ICF for UK Tour - Summer 2007 for people outside of UK, which venue is easier in terms of accessibility etc? thx.
gator Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Re: ICF for UK Tour - Summer 2007 hey Shails..... i am from US..... and it seems like a good suggestion though it never struck, all the moping that i am not going to the Carib..... but this seems like a brilliant plan.... lets do some research and share it here... 6 runs to you.... :wtg:

Sooda Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Re: ICF for UK Tour - Summer 2007 Trent Bridge test days 4 and 5 I will be there. It will be great to see any ICFers there too... Hopefully There will be no day 5 as we will win in 4 days..muhahahaha
vroomfondel Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Re: ICF for UK Tour - Summer 2007 Sounds really good -- I'm missing out on the Carib, so this is a must-have. If I'm in the UK, I'll be in London basically - any recommendations on which game to see -- crowd/wallet friendly stands? Also, is there a team schedule post-september?
gator Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Re: ICF for UK Tour - Summer 2007 considering, there is much more to see, and i cant make the trip more than a week long.... best bet is 2 odis.... preferably in 2 different places... so, ew dont have to come back to the same place after 3 days....
gator Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Re: ICF for UK Tour - Summer 2007 any ideas on what the ticket prices are..... from either sightscreen? i cant stand to watch from an angle.....
shailesh Posted January 29, 2007 Author Posted January 29, 2007 Re: ICF for UK Tour - Summer 2007 I'm for a short trip as well Gats..would ideally like some test match action though, say first 4 days from thursday-sunday (couple of sessions) and fly back to US on sunday? any other ideas? check out this ticketmasters site to get info on rates, not sure if tickets for other venues are on sell or some fixed no of days before the series they go on sell? http://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/browse?category=212&tm_link=tm_sports_j4&hot_ticket_brand=sports iirc bharatarmy also comes up with packages so will be worthwhile to monitor these 2 sites in coming days. PS come on ppl in UK, help us out with some info here :chin: also anyone made a trip from outside UK to give info about bookings, venue accessibility etc?
King Tendulkar Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 Re: ICF for UK Tour - Summer 2007 Tickets are verrrrrrrrrrrrry hard to get hold of in UK. Especially for London games Like gold dust. They probably have sent out the ticket application forms already, the deadline for replies may have already past. I usually get my tickets through corporate stuff thorough mates or touts.
Captain of Bhangra Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 Re: ICF for UK Tour - Summer 2007 I'm lazy, so only going to the local one for me (Edgbaston ODI). Have already paid for my tickets like a month ago, just waiting to get them now..

shailesh Posted January 31, 2007 Author Posted January 31, 2007 Re: ICF for UK Tour - Summer 2007 yeah you have a point gats..you are looking at the the Leeds odi? falls on sunday too :chin:
