Hua Hin City FC

[Big Boy]

The final game of last season, I went home with 2 shirts, had been fed and watered, didn't win the inclusive raffle and watched a great game of football - all for 50 Baht. Of course, that doesn't mean they'll be as generous this season.

If you want a beer, I think it costs 35 baht.

Here you go HHF, or any other prospective Hua Hin City supporters. The club are providing FREE buses from Hua Hin Temple to Fort Thanarat and return for this coming Saturday.

They're hoping for a huge crowd, and are going out of their way to get people there.

The buses will be departing Hua Hin Temple at 14:30. To book a place, phone one of the 3 numbers provided. It really is a good day out, and games are always played in a carnival atmosphere. This is not like any football I've watched before, and its a great day out for all of the family.

Join in the after match celebrations - 1 point will secure a Champions League place, and 3 points will guarantee Hua Hin as League Champions (disclaimer: if Samut Sakhon beat Muangkan by 15 goals more than Hua Hin score, Hua Hin would be runners-up).

WE ARE HUA HIN, WE CHEER HUA HIN!!

What a brilliant gesture by the Football Club!! Hopefully this will encourage many people who have no means of getting to and from Fort Thanarat or indeed don`t know exactly where the stadium is. This is more than a run of the mill football game, it is a celebration of a fine effort by the club, the players and the sponsors, who have put their money where their mouths are, over the season and into Hua Hin City FC. For entertainment and atmosphere there is no better place to be on Saturday than celebrating with the players and supporters at Fort Thanarat. For all those people who have never been before you can also buy souvenir team shirts, scarves, hats, stickers, food and snacks and beer if you choose, which are all great value for money. Come along and be part of the celebration. See you all there!!

Tomorrow is going to be a brilliant day. I can feel it in my bones. In case you have forgotten Vana Nava Hua Hin City FC play JW Bangkok at Fort Thanarat at 4pm, but if I was you I would get there a little earlier because this is the biggest game of the season and hopefully it will generate a big crowd. The club are putting on buses to take you to and from Fort Thanarat from The Temple in Hua Hin from 2.30pm. Please come along and join in the carnival atmosphere and sing along until you lose your voice and cheer on the boys. We love Hua Hin, We cheer Hua Hin!!

I'm just back from the the market, and there were a lot of people wearing Hua Hin City shirts. I think there's going to be a bumper crowd today on what is the most important day in their history. Why not come along to see history being written?

As stated earlier, if you're unsure where to go, or have difficulty getting there, the club are laying on FREE transport to and from the match, departing Hua Hin Temple at 14:30.

Where else can you have a great day out in Hua Hin for just 50 Baht?

Now, I have to admit that I cannot understand any of the lyrics in that song. Is it a new Hua Hin accent that they use to speak?

[Big Boy]

My wife couldn't understand it either.

Well, what more is there to say? Crap game, Anucha and Sutin scored. To be honest, I wasn't sure Hua hin were taking it seriously - I don't think they got out of first gear.

Big crowd, who were there to party. Plenty of beer flowing, dancing girls and even a foam machine. Fantastic atmosphere, and the result we needed. We now have to wait to see who we're grouped with in the Champions League, which starts in 2 weeks time.

A few photos from today:

Great result and hopefully they keep on coming in the Champions League. This name makes me laugh every time I see it, it´s just so lovely Asian thing. Call a div. 2 qualifying league a champions league. I remember when the concept of "Dream Team" first came up. That was the top U.S. basketball team in the 90´s. Suddenly every kind of team sport had their dream team in every South-East Asian country.

Go Hinsters.

Call a div. 2 qualifying league a champions league.

No, it's a Div 1 qualifying league

They are all champions or runners up, so what would you call it?

Nice pics, but didn't see the dancing girls

Hmm, let me think about it. Well, what about a qualifying league. What that be original enough?
