From where I am, it looks like we have as many if not more fans here....but I can't see level 3
-
And Victory have responded...and the response is more or less "the fuck dude???"
-
I'm pretty sure that Little had said that last year was intended as a one off, so I'm not expecting her back. I also wasn't expecting Fishlock back as a player this season, I was half expecting that if she was back, it would just be to continue the assistant coach role (any word on if she is continuing in that role, or is she just going to be a player this season?)

Due to the current unworkable circumstances present at Melbourne Victory matches in Victoria, the North Terrace has resolved to cease the co-ordination of organised support indefinitely, as the values the North Terrace were founded on are no longer reflected in the current culture and environment.
All fans wishing to continue to support within the designated active areas will not be aligned with the North Terrace identity. All materials and leadership will not be present at future matches.
OUR WAY.
.....is it wrong that I'm interpreting the NT's statement as "they won't let us be twats any-more, so we're taking our ball and going home"?
Edit: and looking over the facebook comments is making me think this even moreso......

Heard on the radio last week that ticket sales were much better for this one than the friday just gone.
Tbh the GA section was fairly reasonable on Friday night, it was the members that didn't turn up.
it's possible that some of the "missing" members where in the GA area with friends they brought using the guest passes we got this year....or at least, that's where I was....

Because AFL already has two purpose built stadiums
no, they have one purpose build, and another that way build for other things that had similar enough requirements that AFL could be easily accommodated. and those 2 stadiums both still get way more usage than AAMI; and the AFL got a second partly because they put up the money, and mostly as they changed how they ran the competition making the existing stadium inadequate for the amount of usage it would get without a second. No one is going to build a big expensive anything without some evidence that it will actually get used, and Eddie's idea for a third AFL stadium would (unfortunatly) still get more usage than AAMI park does at present, and would get WAY more usage than a second rectangular stadium

....I'm also pretty sure that AAMI park has one of the lower amounts of usage of the 6 stadiums in Melbourne (though 3 do have much of there usage concentrated to 2 weeks in January), and if that's right, that isn't going to help the cause for another.....(hell, Eddie Maguire couldn't convince people that a third AFL stadium would get used enough to justify one of those, and I'm pretty sure that docklands and the MCG have far higher utilisation)

Victory have close to 30,000 members and derbies regularly have over 40,000 in attendance
Aussies rules and cwicket rarely fill the MCG
they probs fill it more often than anyone fills AAMI park; and while not ideal, when needed, we do have lager stadiums available for the relatively small number of matches that don't fit AAMI; AFL and cricket are also secondary reasons as to why the MCG has it's current capacity. Chances are, we'll see AAMI park expanded before we see another stadium built in Melbourne....and I wouldn't be surprised if the next stadium or two is a rebuild/replacement rather than an additional stadium......
-
.....2 things come to mind: Sydney and Brisbane both have larger rectangular stadiums because there main sport uses rectangular stadium, Melbourne's main sport doesn't (and I'm pretty sure we're still third behind cricket for crowds at matches); as for a world cup stadium, the standard business model for that is that such a thing is built AFTER somewhere wins the hosting rights, not before. While it would be nice to get a bigger rectangular stadium, there really isn't enough demand to justify building another stadium of any time in central Melbourne at this point, and defiantly not another rectangular one....

....any word on how he's doing after that ball-to-face tonight?

I assume that no other Australian club have a "womens wing" in their campus..Or do they?
A number of the A-league clubs have contracted out there W-league side to the state football federation with minimal support and no access to the clubs facilities......

I'm using one of the guest passes they gave us and am dragging along one of my housemates (whose half considering joining up himself); hopefully it's a good match

Yeah ALeague Memes got people to vote for the Mariners as a joke
that makes sense
-
...as part of this advertising campaign, they have a poll about what team people go for.....
http://www.a-league.com.au/youve-gotta-have-a-team/vote
Currently the Mariners are winning by alot (with over 30% of the votes), with Wellington coming second with less than half as many votes; we're currently 3rd last with just over 5% of the vote.....

this is only my second year....

If Sydney loose, it will be embarrassing for a few people......
-
In theory, they could be lazy and just promote Joe Montemurro.....but then they'd need a new head coach for the W-League side (they do have him as an assistant for the A-League side this year as well); and I don't know if he would be considered to have enough relevant experience for the role....

Managed to grab a seat in the second row of S54 this morning....should be a good view from there

10,700...
And unlike the Villa season, these are all signed on season-long memberships.
Actually, I was checking prices for a friend about a week ago, and they'd already opened up 5-game memberships

if they do anything overly different than the same extension that WSW got, it'll look like they're playing favourites; given that the two teams where in about the same position before the incident, and the incidents where also pretty much the same

They have till Tuesday to try and weasel out of it...

here seems like the right spot to leave this: Tim showing off the City Football Academy and answering some questions in a video mostly spruiking for his Ambitions Tour youth training thing

*looks over map* OK we get bay 17 as our active area, they have bays 37-39 for there active; bay 11 is cat C dry; bay 22 and the entire upper level of the western stand are unavailable to City members....though strangely, bays 54-56 (which appear to be off the Olympic Park room; around where City class members sit, but on the half way line) are available as cat A....

After rewatching the match, I'm going to have to go Bratten; but with Kamau a close second.....
