If we play for 90 minutes we win its that simple..wanderers have no firepower, we do. The only thing that worries me is mv always seem to win when they play awful. We better be clinical as they are pretty ordinary in general play. Maybe not looking better, but definitely have a lot better form then us atm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumpyknuckles Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 23 hours ago, jw1739 said: There's an underlying assumption in these projections that all City members with reserved seats will attend - which we know from past experience is not the case - and so those seats can't be sold. The average home derby attendance (10 matches) is 25,607. Range 26,539 - 23,059. True, A mate and I won't be going, so our seats will be empty. We will be watching with mates on TV instead.

playmaker Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 For this game we need Cahill to start in the box and the team needs to get serious on crossing the ball into him. As I said pre-season, the key tactic with Cahill is to have aerial threats that need to be defended by multiple opposition players which in turn creates space for Bruno. We have only seen this on few occasions and these opportunities have resulted in goals. Flat 4 4 2 will create wide service for crosses into the box while maintaining good coverĀ for their wide forward plays which provides for most of their scoring opportunities.

Buses are replacing trains on the Cranbourne, Pakenham, Glen Waverley, Belgrave, Lilydale and Alamein lines. If you're intending to travel on any one of those lines you need to check out just what services are affected. If you have any uncertainty I suggest that you contact PTV. Just looking at, for example, the Belgrave, Lilydale and Alamein lines, the information there is completely ambiguous - well, it is to me anyway. I always check the web-site a couple of hours before projected departure from home because I've been caught several times over the seasons (Sandy line). I've re-read it again. Ā It's definitely happening. Ā Lilydale, Belgrave, Alamein, Glen Waverley, Pakenham and Cranbourne lines all disrupted. Ā Going to be absolute chaos outside Richmond station - no way is there space for all the fans from the match who will be waiting, and very concerned they won't have enough buses running to cope.

Likely not to sell out.Ā On Level 1 the only available seats are in Bays 23 and 29, and on Level 2, Bay 5 (which is single seats only). The gaps are on Level 3 - Bays 84-88Ā City Gold only, and Bays 72,73, 74, 76, 77, 78 both City Gold and City Silver. But IMO it will be close to the usual crowdĀ by kick-off. There have been two extra Derbies already this season, in the FFA Cup, and this is the sort of thing FFA needs to consider when thinking about expansion clubs. The market is not inexhaustible. Just because you put on a match doesn't mean that the public will necessarily decide to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
