CCM Fans and the club

[BrisRecky]

Hasn't he ever. That 3-1 win against Sydney when the away fans were next to us.

Bag 16 winding that guy up in bay 15 until he snapped and was dragged out in a headlock.

MEMORIEEESSSSSS !!!!!!...of the days weve leftttt behinnnnnddddd

 

[Wombat]

Yes.
What a great night.
The guy they dragged out was a big unit.
Severely lively banter that night.

 

[Mug Punter]

I'm happy to go on record as vehemently against that petition.

I'd expect nothing less....

 

[Mug Punter]

I don't get why we'd ever have understated crowds.

You really don't get it do you?

MC wanted to relocate the club and he understated the crowds to try and suit his agenda, that year game against the Roar was definitely understated by - 2,000 +

 

[dibo]

Or more plausible is that people are not as good at guesstimating a crowd than they think they are?

This bears repeating

So where are these quotes from MC that he wanted to understate crowds?

I can confirm without a shadow of a doubt the Roar crowd after Christmas 2014 was not understated.

I remember overhearing MC say just that while standing next to him on THE grassy knoll as the first shot rang out.

Yep - an error by the stadiums tallying, wasn't it?

100% correct... as were the people who were crying fowl that the number was too low.

 

[Timmah]

Not entirely correct - the vast majority of people who cried foul were claiming the club deliberately undersold the figure when the error was one with the Ticketek systems at the stadium.

ahem - again, this thread is basically a hotline to ask questions of and directly liaise with Shaun yes?

Can we move this unrelated discussion elsewhere?

Hi Shaun,

With Jack Ma investing in Australia maybe it is time for MC and Jack to meet. Obviously is keen on football

[Mini In Bay 6]

A master foods / Alibaba sponsorship combo?

Sauce and a set of steak knives?

Dear Shaun:
The block of land next to C of E is for sale.
The neighbours (other side) may be shit but it would certainly be good for CCM to extend their holdings there.
Get in quick lad!!!

I'd argue that the drop in average attendance had more to do with our on-field performance in 2009-10 than the extension of the season.

. and I think people still under-estimate the impact of the Canberra debacle ... what was it? 2 months without a game at home - there was a lot of lost love

 

[Timmah]

I could be remembering the wrong thing but wasn't the club's hand forced by the stadium needing remediation work on the surface?

. that was the reason given - which is part of the reason that people were so pissed off ... when we finally returned home we saw that there were a couple of nominal strips of turf that had been replaced. To the punters (mug or otherwise) it was actually worse on our return

. the general consensus was that it was a money grab and the 'remediation' works were used as an excuse because they couldn't/wouldn't publicly admit they were doing it for the money

Bump.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Was a poor lie by Gorman to take the ACT money.

Bad feelings all round iirc
