Hanoi’s Big Day Out – next Saturday

Posted by Vietnam Swans on May 4, 2008

The Big Day Out, HanoiAvid readers of the Swans Blog will be aware that the Bali Geckos will have to postpone their trip to Vietnam next weekend on the 10 May 2008.

However, do not be alarmed. In it’s place we now have the 2008 Big Day Out in Hanoi!

As per recent tradition in Hanoi, the Big Day Out will be held at the American Club (where else would you hold an Australian event?) and will go all day.

As always there will be heaps of events for all nationalities and ages including the live music which will come on in the evening.

The highlight of the day is expected to be the appearance of the Vietnam Swans, ably led by the amicable and omnipresent Micky Francis.

The Swans will hold a number of footy activities. For old and young, for those of different different nationalities and for those of different religious and political persuasions, it will be a magnificent opportunity to rub shoulders with the stars from the Swans.

How good is that? Get down there next Saturday and judge for yourself. It should be a cracker.

Bali Geckos postpone Vietnam tour

Posted by Vietnam Swans on May 4, 2008

The Bali GeckosThe Bali Geckos last week advised the Vietnam Swans that they would not be able to make the tour to Saigon next wekend due to a lack of players.

The Vietnam Swans are well aware of the difficulty of having enough players for a tour (we had to postpone last year’s trip to Malaysia for the same reason). This was also the key driving factor for deciding to have a combined Vietnam team covering both Hanoi and Saigon.

By drawing upon players in both cities, we are more likely to get the required numbers for the tours that we commit to. And if Vietnam is touring, other teams from the region are more likely to tour to Vietnam. And then, it’s all good again.

Meanwhile, the Geckos have said that they hope to tour to Vietnam next year in 2009.
