HAL 6 fixtures (includes posts from Tour of Duty)

You would imagine that they cant double allocate any seats already sold to SFC members though so people will be split up all over the place in a half empty stadium.

Will be odd

If the NRL can figure out how to organise a double header, I think anyone can...

 

[FFC Mariner]

This is the FFA Adz...........

 

[adz]

Yeah lol, fair point.

 

[Arabmariner]

Much better than last season although I still don't think we should be moving home games regardless of where it's tnly a small fraction of our home support will travel for the Perth game in Sydney........they're either banking on that or bloody stupid and asking for trouble.

Just highlights the need for football on the coast to have its own home.

And I wonder how many teams we need to have in the league before the FFA and fox realise that not *every* game has to be televised live ? Or will we just have a game on every night of the week ?

this

fox loves weekday games as it fills holes in their programming

is the reason why there are so many midweek games for basketball

 

[adz]

So if it's all about TV ratings, Fox should pay more to compensate for drop in attendances at the grounds..? Sounds fair to me.

well they do in way with the amount of dollars involved in the television deal

Given that it is our "home" game, would you expect more than our normal travelling support to go to SFS?

Be v interesting to see if the club sorts members out with tickets like the Canberra disaster

So what if it is a "home game", will struggle to get 10,000 for the Mariners game at the SFS..
Lessthan 10,000 in a 40,000 capacity ground. :ashamed:

 

[FFC Mariner]

Plus the usual 12k that SFC will get allows it to be publicised as a 22k crowd.

Mind you, we wouldnt get 10k to Perth at BT so I dont hold out much hope at the SFS

 

[adz]

Hopefully they promote the shit out of it, being a bit of a novelty and all... "yaaaay, double header".

But then again:

This is the FFA Adz...........

 

[marinermick]

Talk is that the double header will be reversed and we will play the second game.

This is to accomodate the Sydney members as much as possible.

 

[Sym]

makes sense
save the best for last.

It makes sense. Id guess alot of sydney fans on the sides would stay to watch a 2nd game, and the cove would probably be happy to stay if they win earlier to lay it into our boys

If Sydney fans stay though doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose?  ie.... sydney fans move on from sideline seats etc. allowing CCM fans to fill them up?  If we stay, the same problem will exist.

No, I don't think so.
If Sydney play first, then theoretically the Sydney fans will be in their seats first, avoiding the need to ask Perth of CCMFC fans to move out of them.

I'm guessing a fair bit of room in the away end.

Hopefully us and Perth can band together to hold off the Caxton St Elite. They are savage

Both of them

we can unleash the rag tag mob on them

I wouldn't wish that on anyone - their forum posts alone give me a headache.
