What exactly is Gavle?   
I would read the site but it's in Swedish and there is not translate on the safari browser.

Gävle's a town in southern Sweden. Spelling goes something like 'Yeevle' or 'Yaeaevle' in Swedish.

I'll go for 11th.

All Consuming Fire... ;)

Bollocks, I called the 11th on FB but Rusco got in before me here ;)

Well, it looks like I have two chances of winning this year - I'll go for the 20th then and do my little 'burn baby (goat) burn' dance in the moshpit at the Melkweg instead of the Forum then  :D

Aha! I'm for the 5th December. It's lasted too long over the past few years and it's time someone in that there town had a proper Saturday night out and did the (in)decent thing. Burn baby burn indeed!  :D

I think NMA should try and get a gig in Gävle next December - that way we can all make sure the bloody thing gets burned! (after the gig though, wouldn't want to end up in the cop shop and miss it) :D

It must have been the select language button that caused confusion!  :P

So I read it and all it says is a something about the goal during advent. So why are people guessing dates?
The select language button I did press yesterday. It did not work. It worked today but explains little.

Why are people picking dates?  It said nothing about that on the link. In fact the links posted were of the letter "G'  ad about a place in Sweden with mention of the goat on the first day of advent.
