Long Weekend of Football
There has been much discussion about the Queens Birthday Public Holiday, celebrated this Monday .
This is not her actual birthday , which falls in April .
Many question the relevance of supporting an archaic institution , of British Royalty , and celebrating its leaders birthday.
Republican and Humanitarian arguments aside ,footy fans are the big winners .
AFL Football matches are played , on every day of the long weekend .
Games are scheduled to begin on Friday night , continuing on Saturday and Sunday , and culminating with Monday's Game at the MCG.
Its a media , broadcasting , and footy fans feast.
Record attendances , are expected at all matches .Fans will be out in their football jumpers, jerseys , guernseys to watch their team play .
Most will be in a relaxed , party mood , knowing they have the Monday holiday to recover .
God save the Queen. ( the birthday holiday at least ! )
