Netball 2015 - Liverpool Get The World Cup

[joggerjayne]

Hot off the press (like announced this morning!) ...

England are hosting the 2019 Netball World Cup, and it will be in Liverpool.

Notes:

1. I don't often catch the Liverpool Echo, but obviously this is a big announcement for Liverpool.

2. In case you're wondering, the 2015 World Cup is in Sydney, in August.

will you be attending?

[joggerjayne]

I'm hoping to get an AB Press Pass and go up on expenses.

I just need to be nice to The Ed for the next four years.

Is Liverpool a hotbed of netball then?

[magicmick]

I thought it was Manchester, like everything else.

[joggerjayne]

I don't know.

[joggerjayne]

Manchester have Thunder (as in the SuperLeague team).

The Neville brothers are regular supporters.

[joggerjayne]

Everyone buys their Lacrosse equipment from Manchester.

Well, Eccles, I suppose.

you could prove your worth by going to the Sydney one this year. August isn't quite the height of the Bondi season, though.

Maybe I'll be able to go with daughters and grandaughter - plenty of time to organise. Out of interest, just how nice do you have to be to Ab Editor JJ?

[jourdain2]

^^^ To Liverpool, not Sydney!

[joggerjayne]

I think an apple on The Ed's desk and the occasional bag of M&Ms should do it.

[RandyMarsh]

They will do a great job and some of liverpool is nice, don't wear your granny shoes thou.

It started here, four years ago ...

But it ended today ...
