Haydos Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Mid December game, past few years we have had Sydney FC Away at this time of year, and we usually get a good turnout. The week before the Xmas Derby. 2 big games in the Space of 7 days for the lads. Saturday Dec 13th KO: 5pm Pirtek Stadium Have found Flights: $135 Return with Tiger Dep Mel: 6.45am Sat 13th Return Sun 14th Syd 21.45 Arrive Mel 23.20 OR $162 Return with Virgin Dep Mel: 7am Sat 13th Return Sun 14th Syd: 19.00 Arrive Mel 20.35 Very Cheap IMO. Will be good to see what the fuss about this mob is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 They will manufacture a way to have the derby as Villa's last match. We play welly away pretty early in the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Dreas Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 My mrs is very tite about me going to a wsw away trip she knows there a bit cray cray. I'm thinking of saying I'm going away for work trip and just going. (I travel for work a bit) awkward if she sees me on tv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ool2012 Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 date will be changed for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyh001 Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) date will be changed for sure has to be WSW cant be in two places at once. would suspect this game will be pushed back to December 23/24 or the 3rd / 4th in Feb (Tuesday / Wednesday combo). they have to do the same for the WSW v Roar game the next week too (Dec 20th), so i'd expect those the December and February dates will be used with one game each. would be funny if we got the Feb date since we play WSW at home on the 1st of Feb. that said, it makes the most sense; we have the derby the following Saturday so we would only have to fly once during that period, while WSW have Wellington at home the following Sunday. hence, both teams would only have one flight / away trip booked in during a week that both would be forced to play 3 games in 7 days with a midweek catch up game. plus it means the FFA can just push the WSW v Roar game a couple of days to accommodate WSW making either the 1st v 2nd or 3rd v 4th playoff at the World Club Cup (which both games are played on the 20th of December - thus why the Roar game is affected too).

carlings Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 So on a level on from 1 - 10? 1 - light, friendly banter, safe family environment. 3 - the odd expletive thrown your direction, 7 - memorising nearest exits and location of security staff at all times. going to the bar is becoming somewhat of a mission as unruly home fans are eying you off and promising to harm you and family members. 10 - full thickness burn from flares, physically assaulted and require police escort out of Stabramatta.
