Sorry i knew i was too early,but someone had to start it,i'm going for the 5th by the way,see you all real soon.

Blimey Jez, I bet you've already got your tree up and house illuminated like Blackpool sea front!
I think the official launch/opening (or whatever the right term is for a goat related advent display) is this Sunday. It went up in smoke pretty early last year, so I'll predict that it will survive a bit longer and get torched on Sunday 16th December (I'll have an alibi and a thousand or so witnesses that night anyway!)

The web site is now live and, as I type, the goat is under construction. Tune in to follow the action here:

It's not too early Jez. After all we need to get our bets on as it could go up in smoke on Sunday evening although I personally don't think it will as it will meet its end on the night of the 9 / 10 December.

22nd.
And that's cheating MaggiD.
-
Damn, Jez got the 5th, which would have been my first choice. Going for the 7th instead.
-
The early bird catches the goat,Viv.
-
i want to go there it looks great, ok as for a date I'll go for 12th
-
14th Please!
Shouldn't we try and get the band to play Gavle one December, so that we can get a Team Photo with the Goat?
Cheers,
Rob

I was thinking exactly the same team the other day... but then whoever picks the date pf the actual gig would probably try to burn it down him/herself to win the contest ;)

Sounds like someone's had a go at torching it already according to the blog:

Hmm.......was thinking about the 13th (unlucky for who though?), but I think I'll be bold!
Put me down for the 20th! ;)
-
Sounds like more "intruders" the other night but no damage done. The weather has however done some damage to the goat's horns. It's all happening, thrilling stuff
H!

He's still there,i'm out for this year.Go goat,go all the way.....
-
Fortunately for the Goat, the aciton isn't quite "hotting up", but it has at least had it's horns repaired. It also seems to have had some sort of scarf fitted - possibly something to do with an ice hockey game I think.
Bollocks to "strictly eastenders only dancing on ice Dr Who X factor special in the jungle" this Christmas, Gavle is clearly where the compulsive viewing is at!
-
Still going,better luck next year Viv.....
-
Bugger, thought Friday was going to be the perfect day for it. C'est la vie. Could this be one of the rare years it makes it to New Years? Go Gavle Goat go!
-
Hard to burn with snow on him.
I'll go for 28th if nobody else has.

Bugger! I'm out for this year.
So only one thing for it.
GO GO-OAT!
-
Since the 21st has gone already I'm jumping onto 24th. He looks very pretty covered in snow.
-
Well, it's over for another year. The goat was torched at midnight 12th/13th according to the blog. It's not clear which side of midnight but Jacqui had the 12th and nobody had 13th, so I'd say that makes her this year's lucky winner of.....some singed straw!
