    Where to watch the Cats game Friday night/Saturday morning??

    I assume with a 1.10am kickoff Saturday morning this is too late for somewhere like the Leederville to show it?

    Where would be a good spot to watch the game? Champions' Bar at Burswood perhaps? It'd be awesome if there was a significant group of Force fans all in one spot to watch what will hopefully be our first win.

    That'd be just about the only sports bar I can think of that would show the game, what do the rest of you think?

    Hmm if I lived closer to Burswood would be there in a flash...but I will be watching it from the comfort of my home, hoping madly for a Force victory.

    Burswood could be the go. They haven't yet indicated on their website if they're playing it, however.

    They're open at that time and the two Fox Sports channels are usually always on the two big screens all of the time. If they're not they usually comply with requests, especially after midnight when there often aren't many people around.

    I think it is the go.

    I think that the Champions bar would be the go, although I will ask Paul at JB's later today if there are any arrangements being made there if not I will be at the Champions

    In the stands

    Hey guys,

    I'll be watching live in the stands of Ellis Park, Johannesburg. The lone Western Force supporter amongst the diehard Afrikaaners!

    Keep the faith. The win is coming!

    Or kickers... Or at least if you do, don't miss the tackle, slip over spectacularly and then knock yourself out.

    Yeah, what sage said... That would be highly entertaining for us back in Perth, but generally frowned on by the media and the rest of the rugby community, No matter how bloody funny it appears.
    So Uncle Bob, stay in the stands!!!

    Well, I am looking forward to the big game but I must say I am a little nervous about going. Ellis Park is in a terrible part of Jo'burg and costs a fortune to get to from Sandton, where I am staying, in a taxi (about R200- $40 AUD each way).

    Regardless of whether we win or lose I am going to cop a fair bit of abuse from all the Boers, which will be fine as I don't understand a word of Afrikaans except for Kak, which is probably a good word to describe how the Cats have played this year. It will certainly be better than watching on the TV from back in Zimbabwe.

    Oh and don't worry I am not going to do a Pieter Van Zyl and jump the fence, tackle the ref etc. Also, from memory, there are quite a few barbed wire fences at Ellis Park so I'll be staying safely in the stands.

    We're all very envious, Uncle Bob (except about the barbed wire bit... that doesn't sound so good). Wave we'll look out for you!
