MHFC-FAN Posted October 14, 2023 Report Share Posted October 14, 2023 Finally the new season is just one week away. Reckon the generic lot have recruited fairly well this season, particularly in midfield...going to be a much tougher encounter than what they offered up last season! Would love to take the 3 points but not feeling hugely confident at the moment. C'mon City!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very little news comes out of the club on the A-League - recent focus seems to be on the women's team and new commercial agreements. I'd like to see something on how the boys are tracking - especially Leckie and Natel. Ho-hum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citypool Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 Sydney derby got 11k for women's match last night. Would be amazing if we can pull close to that for the double header on Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 Women's match is against Canberra. Attendance will depend on where the cut-off is - at what point are people late for the women or are they early for the men? We'll do well to get 8,000 for the men's derby with Western.

cremorne Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 For access by public transport (when they host games), is it really a 6 km walk from Tarneit Station? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 Apparently so. Takes 9 minutes by road. Shouldn't take more than 45 minutes to walk, but that's not strolling. I'd say they'd need to lay on buses for people to go there. Reminds me of the stadium at Morwell. Stadium location and ease of access by PT is a key factor in attendances. No way I'd be interested in an City away match played there. Just too much hassle to get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fensaddler Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 It is a bugger of a place to get to. Close to the rail line, but about halfway between the current Tarneit and Wyndham Vale stations. Will even be a bugger to drive as the road network round there is still a mess. I'm not holding my breath for the new station, though if and when it's built, it will become very accessible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for comparing Tarneit, Casey Fields and Bundoora in terms of accessibility, it very much depends on where you live. I happen to live in a suburb from which all three are a hassle to get to, whether by car or PT. I'd also venture to suggest that @citypool's comments are rather less about this Tarneit thing in particular but rather more about City not being particularly informative so far this season. The thread about the FRG being an example. Edited October 17, 2023 by jw1739 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno how hard it is to do or why there's issues Basically because "active" groups have been stifled by the administrators of the game and in our case by the MOPT who run AAMI Park. And the clubs haven't helped either. Certainly in the case of City, which has progressively pushed fans to arms' length. Instead of taking the steps required to weed out any actual trouble makers, all fans entering the stadium are made to suffer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
