Couldn't agree more. With regards to the colours, I think CFG has got it spot on. They were always going to change the home kit, but using the Heart home kit as the "new" away kit is a smart move. It acknowledges the history(however short that may be) of the club and allows those of us that joined when they were Heart to hold on to that history. I bought my first Melbourne City jersey this year, and it was always going to be the away kit for that reason. Yes Friday sucked, but on the whole I think they are headed in the right direction. Patience is the key. I would rather win consistently in the long run than a lot for a short period. As for crowds, I don't have numbers(happy to be proved wrong if anyone does have them) but from appearances, the GA area at the opposite end of the active area appears to have more people than the last few years. I think what makes it look like there are less is because all the premium seats are on the left and right. If we're building a club then these are always going to fill up last. I mean, why pay extra when(derbies excepted) you can pay for a GA membership and pretty much sit wherever you want at a home game. We've got some way to go but I think overall, we are headed in the right direction.

I can't wait until Friday and I hope we win. I also hope that if it doesn't go our way that we don't desert our guys. Last time we played there, this is what it looked like at the 80 minute mark: Sure, we were 3 goals down but so what. Support shouldn't be conditional. If you don't want to stay for the full 90, don't take the place of someone that does.

Left my run late and wasn't sure if there would be tickets on here for the active area so got GA ones too make sure I can at least get to the game. Any chance someone can sneak me and my son past the gate Nazi for the active area?? I know it's sold out but there's normally a couple of idiot Victory supporters who can't read the Ticketmaster map properly!! There's a free beer in it if you can help. Cheers. ⚽

Yep it is. Southern Cross is the closest station.

That's my issue with him too. And even when he does make position he still misses it. Take the game against Newcastle, he got himself to the right position( very left of the goal) and it still managed to find the ball and bees dick sized gap between him and the post. Then he gets to the right position again(centre) and it goes directly over his head and hits the top bar while his hands are trying to make their way past his head. I don't have the exact stats(happy to be corrected if I'm wrong) but it appears that once you get past our defenders you have a better than 90% chance of scoring.

I agree, the We Are Melbourne chant is the defining chant of this season. It's easy, and gets picked up quickly. I couldn't make it on Friday but I could hear it clearly on the TV. As for the call/response, I really think we should use the Come on you boys in red/white one. It worked brilliantly at the derby: trim.E8E84BB2-6926-4989-872E-81D275233BCA.MOV Just a thought.

And also in 7th place!!! One more win and we're off to the finals!!!

I like it!! Here's my version: I'VE BEEN TO SYDNEY, AND IT'S A SHIT TOWN SO'S ADELAIDE,BRISBANE AND PERTHS A HOLE IN THE GROUND BUT NO MATTER HOW FAR OR HOW WIDE I ROAM I STILL CALL MELBOURNE HOME I would keep the last 2 lines as you did in the first version and repeat them for the big finish( I still call Melbourne HOOOOOOOOME) It's short and easy to learn and I agree, it would look great with the scarves. This should seriously be considered. I'm still relatively new to this forum thing so if someone smarter than me can bring it to Bearded Hearts attention that would be great!! way too many syllables in the second line Could make it 2 lines SO'S ADELAIDE,BRISBANE AND PERTHS A HOLE IN THE GROUND Thoughts?????

Anyone going to the imp this Saturday? Normally it's the Imperial but this week it's different for the derby. Got this off the Melburnians(supporters group) Facebook page: Info on the derby this weekend. Pre-game will be at McMahon's Hotel (commonly known as Bev n Mick's) on the corner of Spencer Street and Hawke Street. Get there early for some beers and food before we head to the game; scarves will also be for sale. For people who could not get an active ticket, we will be filling bays 16/17 and the surrounding area on level 3 (see picture). This will ensure that we can all stick together in one location, sing together etc. You will need to get in nice and early to secure your seat in this area as GA seating is unallocated, making it a free-for-all. See you in the terrace!

Sorry to be the spelling and grammar nazi....but they're="they are" there= over "here" or over "there" So if it has "here" in it( not to be confused with "hear", which has the "ear" in it because you "hear" with your "ear") then it means a place or location.

Why does it matter? You quoted me so you understood what i said in my original message. Thought it was a forum not english school! Actually you are a spelling and grammar Nazi!! It needs the capital letter because it's the name of something.

getting any a league players name on a top is risky I got Williams on my kit and i wont regret it. Been with us for a few years now and plus he is a top top bloke. Obviously not the best reason to get his name on my kit, but oh well I did the exactly the same thing for exactly the same reason!!! Great player and a great person.

Any chance we can add the first one to the list as well???

I'm the same. Didn't like it at first but now I think it's great. The fact that it seemed to evolve in to a chant (da da da da da.............SO HAPPY TOGETHER oi oi oi oi....... apologies if it was a planned thing that someone worked on!!) that is easy and gets people going is great and I am glad to be proved wrong. It craps all over victorys " Stand By Me" and I reckon if we belt out the chant version during their song we can ruin it for them. The chant was around before it became club song. Thanks for the info. The fact that it came from the active area and became the song means that we should own it and get behind it. A lot of people don't like it because they are under the impression that the club chose it and not the fans.
