ALW v Adelaide @ Woy Woy Oval

[true believer]

Think they trying to get an idea of the ALM members who might go and rightly assume all ALW members are going

f**k me the bar codes on match days tell them who is going to games

 

[bikinigirl]

Aren’t ALM members ALW members by default anyway? I honestly fail to see why full members have to redeem a ticket when women’s only members do not, please make it make sense.

. I'm assuming ALW memberships are nominal (player family and friends)

. the redemption thing is just a shit crowd control technique. I'm more shitty that supporter members get the same opportunity for redemption as those that have already put in the effort. as TB said - they should have the data on who is actually interested and supportive

You can’t just like use technology for data and insights and stuff

FMD they will be using Copilot to analyse their excel data next.

No, meant for crowd numbers. Catering etc.

They don’t care who they probably just want an idea on how many

 

[PatientMariner]

This is the point the club really should have developed the COE to have a small grandstand to cater for the women's games not played at CCS. Could have control over the facilities and income, like Charlesworth was complaining about in the Pod? Have a set up similarly to Western.

Or maybe just not email the redemption codes the day before the match if you can’t have your own facility. Additionally, have someone in the office that day answering calls.

In saying this we did manage to get hold of a Jenna who works in the marketing department. She ended up being incredibly helpful.

I believe they are only opening a small part of the grassed area to save on costs so the capacity will be well below 1,000.

Not sure whether the way it has been organised is incompetence, indifference to the fans, indifference to the women's team, or just trying to deter people from going to obfuscate the fact that they are not allowing enough capacity to accommodate every member that might want to attend.

I vote ineptitude.

. E: all of the above

I asked them if it was ignorance or apathy.

They told me that they didn't know and they didn't care.

 

[bikinigirl]

. in my, less than expert opinion, the pitch looks alright (despite the season I was expecting a beaten up rugby pitch)

 

[true believer]

The great izzy gomez running up and down the side line . Priase the gods .

 

[bikinigirl]

. I only have one comment for the moment ... how the hell was it not a red card for their 'keeper?

Wouldn’t have mattered in the end but yes, absolute red for mine.
Outstanding performance from her until then.

 

[Ozhammer]

I’ll add, how the hell did we lose a game that we basically dominated?

I was having a severe case of Deja vu this afternoon in the way that our girls are struggling to make things happen in the front third, like the men’s side.

That was a red card all day long and it is appalling that the referee bottled that decision but we should have been out of sight long before then if we had a striker worthy of the title.

End-result and the redeem-ticket debacle aside I thoroughly enjoyed yesterday afternoon. Could highly recommend! Magic weather for it, closer to action, nice sized crowd, groups of the girls' family and friends easily spotted. SSPA - BBQ Glamwurst - SSPA - caramel cheesecake gelato, the extra $10 was well spent to not miss it (and with a ground capacity of 1500, per Ausstadiums, even if the grass tickets weren't excluded there wouldn't have been enough for all members to redeem anyway).

And lucky people, when the bums and posture started to struggle elsewhere, faced no obstruction to just taking a seat in the grandstand
**can't guarantee that being repeated 😉

Very much looking forward to Australia Day. We have booked a table at Ela Mesa (awesome Greek) for afterwards and will enjoy the late hours at the Bayview after that. Maybe a few cheeky craft beers at Link n’ Pin before the game.

Woy Woy has lots to offer these days.
