Ticker-tape treatment beckons for Socceroos
Date: October 27 2005
By Michael Cockerill
The Socceroos will receive a ticker-tape reception if they qualify for the World Cup.
Plans are well advanced for a parade down George Street and a civic reception at Sydney Town Hall on November 17 - the day after the return leg of next month's World Cup play-off against Uruguay at Telstra Stadium. The first leg will be held in Montevideo on November 12.
And in what would be a welcome gesture from Socceroos coach Guus Hiddink, it is believed former coach Frank Farina will be invited to the reception.

I know it is old news, but it was the best I could do

Cannot find anything else! ... I do not think it would be on too early

Times would be good though!
I want to be in early to get a good spot (doubt I will have a voice left for cheering though

)
