A new newsgroup lugnet.football has just been created.

Brad Justus of LEGO Direct said that Soccer (i.e., Football) is officialy not
part of the Town product line and that it's its own product line.  Going by
this and by the set numbers, it seems safe to call the newsgroup
lugnet.football rather than lugnet.town.football.

(Like lugnet.western, lugnet.football is based on the international or
European name of the product line.  "Soccer" is the U.S. name for what is
called "Football" everywhere else in the world.)


CHARTER/PURPOSE
===============

   lugnet.football (group):
      LEGO Football/Soccer: products (information, opinions, reviews,
      etc.); building (settings, contexts, characters, projects, models,
      layouts, plans, tools, tips, etc.); inspiration (ideas, movies,
      books, literature, magazines, music, historical events, etc., as
      they relate to Football/Soccer); etc.

(...) Just to be picky, we Australians also call it soccer. "Football" here generally refers to Australian Rules Football (AFL) although I think that it may also refer to Rugby(?) depending on where you live in Aust. (Can't say for sure, I'm not a (...) (24 years ago, 3-Aug-00, to lugnet.sports)

(...) Does that mean that there will be more sets next year? A green bus, concession stands or perhaps the famous soccer van? I'll keep my fingers crossed... Kev Z #142 (24 years ago, 3-Aug-00, to lugnet.sports)
