Honestly playing Adelaide 3 times in a row sounds fkn horrible.

50 bloody mugs.

I’m not sure they are, I expect they will slowly build up this number. If it was where I sit I would think about it to be honest. Already have their seat for the final where as I have to now purchase mine.

Have a look at the seats that Industry is offering on their website. It is the entire upper deck of the Western Grandstand apart from 2 bays at each end. I currently have 5 seats in Bay 37, 2 are seniors concessions and three are family 2 adults, 1 child. Next year I was planning to add a second child to the family ticket making 6 seats for the 3 generations of my family to watch Mariners together into the future in the best seats in the house.
If I were to buy 6 memberships of the stadium it would work out at about $4.5k.
You have to be kidding.

I understand that the membership team will find me equivalent seating next year. I also know that stadium memberships will not occupy all these seats straight away and the takeover of all the seats allocated will take time. However I can see myself being squeezed further out each season along with other CCM members, some who have held their seats since the special deal in season 1.
I cannot see any point in continuing with what was a long term plan. I was happy that the money I was spending was going to the Club, but I will not pay an inflated fee to Industry Group.
Next year I will probably buy 2 GA memberships for my son and myself in order to retain our very low foundation member numbers and similar tickets on game day for the other family members when they choose to attend.

I have thought about it.

I'm summary, Ancient is not a bloody mug, but he's being treated as one by the stadium.

 

[Wombat]

I'm a Stadium member so already have a reserved seat for the game

Well thats 25 of you sorted.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Well thats 25 of you sorted.

Free rapeball pre season games. Priceless

 

[Ancient Mariner]

I'm summary, Ancient is not a bloody mug,

Many would argue with you.

I was going to say "allegedly" but nope, we're good

 

[Huddo]

My question is why do we have the away leg first?

Surely having the home advantage as the first game and having a better chance at getting the first leg win takes confidence into the second game?


Is the setup based on having a more competitive second game and possibly more viewers/spectacle.

I'll just add it's not a have situation.

We have the option, we can play at home first, just alot of eggbrains say the best way for a team to win is to be at home for the second match.

Anyone know when tickets go on sale for the semi?

 

[Huddo]

I'd assume once the semi teams are decided, after the Elimination round.

Seems silly they don't start sales on the 20 may game asap, noting they only have to fill in the opposition for that game.

I also remember the SFC semi being on sale before the cows game 2 years ago.

I thought that we were supposed to play one of the Sydney teams in the semi’s.

Highest qualifier.

 

[shipwreck]

Highest ranked winner, the only way we don't play Adelaide is if Wellington beats them ?

 

[Insertnamehere]

Rumours of an Aleague Allstars vs Bayern Munich game somewhere between 29 May and 4 June. All the news sites have taken down their articles about it so maybe the APL were not happy the cat has been let out of the bag. I guess this might be part of the supposed "festival of football". Or it might be BS!

Its fallen over. Can't afford the fee for Bayern.

After smashing them on their patch I think I’m okay with playing them in the semis and getting a home grand final
