FOOTY MARATHONS

Postby mighty_tiger_79 » Fri Sep 29, 2006 4:28 pm

I used to love staying up watching channel 7 on grnad final eve, they used to have various footy shows in review to the season and previewing the g/f and then the footy marathon would start up around 10:30pm, it was long late night of reminiscing.

is it just me or are there others out there that miss the footy marathon????

Hopefully channel rex will start the footy marathons up again next year as I think they own the rights to alot of the old game footage. Yes I used to love watching the old 70s and 80s GFs too.

Most likely, but it will be interesting if they show any of the last five years,
especially the close '02,'05 & '06 GFs.
