Tommykins Posted September 11, 2023 Report Share Posted September 11, 2023 A Division 2 Japanese side as they won the cup. I have no idea if this should be straightforward or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Hack Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 Currently running 7th in J2. Looks a youngish side from the last lineup which they won 3-2, although both striker and AM are over 30. Only two non Japanese players played. At a guess probably a quick side. They're in the back end of their season so I reckon we might struggle with this game, a draw might be a reasonable result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be no pushover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Hack Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 Wouldn't get excited by the Kiwi GK, he's 24yo on loan from another Japanese club and has only played 1 game for them and then they reverted back to their Japanese keeper. The Brazilian forward is 32 so he's a bit older but he did score last game as an AM. The defender is 26 so a good age, about 6 foot so not super tall though, as is his Japanese partner.

I had an email that had 'Member Numbers' so not sure if that is meant to be the code (was buried towards the bottom of the email). Also with respect to seating, if someone has a City First-Touch or even City Class membership, it seems like the seating for this match will just be free for all in Level 1 areas? What I am trying to say is that can I sneak into Level 2......? Edited September 12, 2023 by haz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I've seen is this: City Members will be able to redeem their complimentary ticket using their member number via Ticketek. which is in the news release on the club web-site.

For the Oakleigh match you needed your membership number - which is not the number printed on last season's membership card (if you had one).

You will have to enter both membership numbers. And you will be able to choose your membership seats provided some other bastard hasn't taken them (although I very much doubt that there will be that much demand). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enter in your Membership number (should be towards the bottom of the emails the club has been sending) And enter it on the TicketTek website in the password box.

jw1739 Posted September 13, 2023 Report Share Posted September 13, 2023 Bit disappointing perhaps, but perhaps they're being realistic. I remember an FFA Cup QF match against Western Sydney in 2019 where the official attendance was 2,905. Not worth opening a whole stadium for that sort of attendance.
