Hope the pitch is in better condition than last Saturday night.

Funny thing about them playing there - they haven't had a crowd bigger than 45k (i.e. bigger than the SCG will hold) since 2008. I can't see the point of the exercise anymore. [/off topic]

Me too! What an awesome deal! Thanks Muppet you're a legend!

PAX 18,270.

 

[Muppet]

No probs. Looks like they may crack 20000 which begs the question as to why it was never held at bluetounge all along

 

[style_cafe]

I hope we at get to 30,000, which would be a good crowd considering we`re away from the coast,out of season & playing a team supported by Scots ,(well known for holding on to their $$$$).

 

[serious14]

25 000, tops.

Less than 20 000 if the weather decides to be rubbish.

 

[universalmind]

Highest PAX of 18,691.

Estimate for Mariner part of the crowd?

1,500 tops

 

[midfielder]

Score .... Mariners win ... HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM dreaming say 5 - 0...

lets say 2-1 win to the mighty Mariners...

Too true unfortunately. I do know some folks from the Coast who are going who are off Scottish Heritage and follow Celtic. From what I am hearing there will be a very large contingent of Celtic supporters there. Maybe we can rope in some Rangers supporters to even the numbers up!

A bit embarrassing that Celtic supporters get 20-odd bays and we get 6... and even then we couldn't even fill half a bay with standing, singing fans.

Apart from that... I'm choosing to be optimistic with crowd guesstimates here and go with 40k. Hopefully we will get lots of Mariners fans, lots of Celtic fans, and lots of fans from other teams that want to see either of the teams actually playing get their arses handed to them by the other one.

For those that don't understand the rivalry between Celtic and Rangers check out the following link. I am sure a few of these could be sung at the game on Sunday (where's Lawrie when you need him).

Very happy to go out again (like last night and last Tuesday) and see and support my team but this is just a pre-season trial game, albeit against somewhat more robust opposition.


In terms of football spectacle I went to the SFC Festival of Football and I consider this even less of one due to it being a one-off.

Not sure why ALL Mariners supporters have been given a far from action behind the goals location, but I presume as all the purple is GA we can always move around into other bays?

let's not sing sectarian crap. celtic fans shouldn't sing them to rangers, ranger shouldn't sing them to celtic, we shouldn't sing them to anyone.

 

[Muppet]

I was not suggesting that the sectarian songs be sung. There are some other good chants in there by the looks.

Might want to check that map again - it says Yellow Army behind the goals. I'm sure that just being a Mariners fan doesn't mean you have to buy a ticket in that section and nowhere else. It's the same during the season, and the same in finals - a section for the rowdy (active, vocal, whatever) ones, and the rest of the stadium for everyone else.

 

[kevrenor]

Oh ok.

When I booked from a motel room in Ballarat on a dodgy modem and 8" screen all I saw was words: Mariners GA.

That is what is on my ticket.

Hadn't seen the plan until just today.
