A-League '12-13 :: Round 22

[Mong]

Why? Luca$h has always put dollars before trophies. He could've played in a European Cup final but instead ended up in a relegation shitfight with West Ham all because they offered him 10k a week more.

:lol:

Stop crying, you dodged a bullet, he was too slow for the premier league even then.

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Neill still as slow as ever. Great value at $11K per game. :lol:

 

[hybrid_tiger]

If Mariners fans are fair dinkum they'll sell the joint out next week.

There will be more Wanderers fans there.

 

[Mong]

Didn't appear to be many thereSaturday..

Was it raining?

Almost 12,000 in that weather was a fantastic crowd.

 

[Mong]

I only saw a few highlights.. Couldn't tell what the weather was like.. The crowd must have been hiding under cover as the footage showed a lot of empty seats.

That figure is much better than what it appeared.

 

[Jobdog]

There will be more Wanderers fans there.

:lol: Obviously. It'll be a Wanderers home game - kinda like they do in the NRL every now and then. A "home" game "away" from home

No excuses for CCM fans this week. Weather's supposed to be good.

If they're outnumbered, not only will it be a first for the HAL, it will be quite embarrassing.

 

[Timmah]

While I completely agree - no excuses - "weather's supposed to be good"?

Showers forecast for Saturday :?

Embarrassing?

We care about results on the field, not who wins the "battle of the stands".

 

[Big Sam]

It will be embarrassing. You're 8 years older and it's a home game. There should be more CCM fans there.

And my weather app says it will be sunny.

Embarrassing, how so??? Rather be 4pts clear at the top then in a fapping contest over crowds.

 

[Mong]

Why does it bother CC fans so much to discuss crowds?

 

[Knightmare]

There will be at least 10,000 Mariners fans there. I don't envisage 10,000 WSW fans coming so this discussion about being "outnumbered" seems a little odd...

 

[Misanthrope]

You should care about both. Twenty trophies aren't going to save you if you can't attract a crowd to pay your bills.

Of course, the Mariners won't ever secure that many trophies given their predilection for choking.

We're 8 years old and yet our population base is STILL only 300,000. And yet we're outdrawing Perth, Heart and Wellington, who each have more than triple the population and media coverage.

Showers and 25 isn't sunny. http://www.weatherzone.com.au/nsw/hunter/gosford

I care about crowds for the sake of our club making $$$ and improving exposure. Regardless of which mob fills Bluetongue on Saturday, our club benefits. It will be a great advertisement for the game.

Interestingly we've won one more trophy than the Jets.

Unless you count the wooden spoon as a trophy?

 

[Mong]

Hahaha

Do the Mariners actually have 10,000 fans?

 

[Timmah]

I'd imagine so. An average over 8 years of 9,761 implies there's been plenty of 10k+ matches.

Only 800 behind the all-time average of the Jets too (10,566).
