Grand Final Boycott?

[Hello Sailor]

The Central Coast will be cemented as 100% part of Sydney soon, now that Melbourne overtook it as the largest city by absorbing some fringe town. Need to get that title back.

Noooooooooooooooo. I hated living in Sydney. Lets keep our separate identity

Yeah nah thanks

If our beloved CCMFC make the grand final,
who here will be going to the game and who will boycott attending the game in protest/standing up to the APL's handling of everything?

Seats booked on the halfway and halfway up, could not believe my luck. Ticketek finally does some good for us.

I'll be going. I was lucky enough to see our last GF win and wouldn't miss this one for anything.

We have already been screwed out of a home finals game. Where was the outcry from the rest of the league then?

That being said, f**k Danny...

Yeah how do "ratbags" like that get to be CEO of a-League?

 

[Allreet?]

The AL powers that be have always screwed us over and no other fan group gave a shit when we played the Jets in a Sydney GF.

Why the f**k should we be supporting a boycott that was never ever going to make a whiff of difference for us?

We're in Europe so won't be there. But if we were I'd be front and centre.

I've lived on the Coast since 2000 and support the Mariners with all my heart.

But I grew up in Sydney, still work in Sydney, and part of me will always be a Sydney boy.

Sydney FC can GTF though...

 

[Hello Sailor]

I just read today's SMH. In the sport section there is nothing on the A League semis. I half expected nothing on CCM v Adelaide, but there wasn't anything on Sydney FC's game last night either. Plenty of stuff on horse racing, league, AFL, union [mens and womens], golf tennis and even cricket even though its not the season. This game has to do a better job regarding media exposure if it is to grow.

 

[Hello Sailor]

Compare the SMH with the Australian-story on p.51- System wont allow me to upload large file at once so I'll try a few small ones.

What an amazing young man Nizzy is, we are fortunate to have him. Hope he gets MOTM tonight. ❤️

 

[Hello Sailor]

Can an administrator put these posts on a more appropriate thread-maybe the second leg of semi finals one?

Love the Niz.

I completely understand the decision not to boycott and respect it 100%. Some of the abuse on social media of people deciding to attend has been disgusting.

The hypocritical nature of the boycott, now being seemingly lead primarily by aggrieved Victory fans with nothing to lose is disappointing. It seems basically all the other fan bases were unaware we had been stripped of the right to host in the past. What made it worse is many supporting the boycott then condescendingly attacked and told us to get over the exact situation they are complaining about.

Despite all this I will boycott. I love this club as my literal thousands of posts over 8 years will attest. 8 years in which were some of our darkest days. But sacrificing the greatest day in our history since I have been a fan is worth it to send the only message I can to the APL.

A message that fans are true stakeholders in our great game and that collectively we have a voice and power.

I love your passion and view with full respect for your stance.
i just can't give up on a GF if our team get there. There may never be another time and the APL could be gone next year?
Also,
We had to go to Sydney for our home GF.
Yes City are the team missing out but for CCM it's a another neutral GF which for us selfishly that evens out.

Again I fully respect your stance and won't be arguing back if you fire a few shots.

Note: if we don't make it I won't be going so my comment becomes irrelevant.

Hey you are hard pressed to see any coverage especially concerning us on SMH site, EVER!. Obviously we are not paying those deep pocketed bastards enough! I did find this back in 2021 https://www.smh.com.au/sport/soccer...ia-s-shortest-footballer-20210312-p57a6d.html

I know, I didn't really expect much about US, but I thought there would be a report on their own Sydney FC semi. I was really surprised a few minutes after posting that The Australian's Sports section promoted a story on Niz and what a story it was! Glad I found and shared it. Shame about all of the coverage in the SMH given to the code of rapists and wife beaters.

The SMH's coverage of the A-League has been abysmal ever since they got the rights to Union on Stan.They do report on the EPL and the UEFA League.Also plenty of stories about Sam Kerr and some about the Matildas.

That rag the Tele has better coverage of the A-League but otherwise is such a crap paper it is not worth reading.

Looks like SMH might have read our forum, https://www.smh.com.au/sport/soccer...-underdog-story-rolls-on-20230520-p5d9xr.html

The SMH made a song & dance about calling the game football.
Then when it was taken over by nine reverted to soccer.
There is no write up about our game on the main page this morning.
Click soccer and then it's the third story.
Vince what's his name reporting a crowd less than was given last night.
