That’s why I wrote: “posts by the A-Leagues facebook page” I imagine they probably post the same things across each platform though. On a side note, since my post there have been: 1 post promoting the grand final 1 post about Melbourne City 4 posts about Central Coast APL is simply trying to drum up enough visibility for fans who are more likely to travel to, and attend, the GF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's way too much bus in two days and very little buildup 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted Monday at 11:41 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 11:41 AM Wow. Surely the club has to get the message that supporting the decision was a mistake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would've been exciting for the first few hours but then..... Would've been different if option 1 was picked...

jw1739 Posted yesterday at 12:18 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 12:18 AM https://melbournecityfc.com.au/news/join-our-epic-grand-final-road-trip No price is quoted here. The way it read to me was that you would be up for food, drinks, incidentals, and Saturday night's accommodation in Sydney, but everything else was going to be paid for by the club. $100 refundable deposit but no refund if you didn't turn up. It might have been a sweeter deal if the accommodation in Sydney and transport to and from was arranged by the club, even if you had to pay for that component, but if you're not familiar with a place getting decent accommodation is a bit of a lottery. I've never been to Parramatta in my life and know absolutely nothing about it. Pearce is likely in the UK. Maybe everyone could kip down at his mansion...? And any overflow to Townsend's place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bt50 Posted yesterday at 12:52 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 12:52 AM Obviously people picked Option 2 as it means they dont have to take a day off work on the Friday, but jesus christ, way to suck all the fun out of the whole experience. You'd get virtually no pre-game, scrambling to get your gear to a hotel before kickoff, and then youd have to be hungover af on a bus all day Sunday. Fizzer. I was kinda hoping they'd split it and do a coach or more of each tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to read it twice to realise that it was going to be one or the other based on responses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
