[dibo]

for some cliff richard loving [summer holiday]:

We're all going on an Asian holiday
Off to Japan and China too
We're all going on an Asian holiday
Win another trophy or two
Catch us on the tube

We'll go and beat red diamonds
We'll take out Shenhua too
We'll knock off the Sepahan
We'll keep on winning through

I Like it,
but how old are you Dibo? That goes back even further than Jimmydinho's music tastes.
The first and only concert I went to at the Hordern Pavilion was Cliff Richard ... the things you'll do for a girl!

i hate the song, but it's a tune everyone knows. i can't think of it without thinking of the young ones (the bbc show, not the bloody awful song).

Love it - easy to remember, everyone knows it (thanks to The Young Ones) and as long as it passes the SCC "originality test" we might be allowed to sing it on Sunday

OMG!
Happiest day of my life.
The story started when i asked mum if me and my lil bro could go to sydney to watch the first semi, after arguements and disagreements i decided bluetongue and the grand final would do me i didnt have to go to Scum to watch us kick ass.
As i wasnt a member i gave my money to my auntie who lived near mingara, so she could go get them, when she woke up this morning she had a bad pain in her back and decided to get them on line, as my auntie isnt a mariners fan she went to ticketex and followed the links, it said the site wasnt working but luckily she found another site to buy them at bluetongue... proticket, so without asking she brought them and rang me to tell me, she told me bout getting them from proticket i asked if they were the bluetongue game..... SH^T.
Ok ill buy the bluetongue ones too, mum had to agree they were already brought and now im going to bout semi finals, couldnt believe it...
Happiest 16 year old on the central coast

Our stadium sings with us... It uses a BLUETONGUE... 

 

[Jocwa08]

Has anyone brought tickets today after 9.15am for bluetongue
cos my PAX number is 8012 has anyone got higher ??

 

[fish]

pax numbers are not always accurate but I think its a little higher than that from what I hear

 

[Jocwa08]

Either way PAX number accurate or not it will be a sellout
Do the clubs split the gate takings ?

 

[fish]

from memory they are divided amongst all clubs not just finalists.It may have changed bit Im sire that was the case V1

 

[brett]

I think in theory it's 'divided evenly' but rather than splitting it 8 ways the FFA just applies it where it sees fit.

With fellow midfielder Greg Owens set to return from injury on Sunday, coupled with the outstanding form of incumbent engine room foursome John Hutchinson, Mile Jedinak, Adam Kwasnik and Tom Pondeljak, the Mariners options in the middle of the park have seldom been as strong.

Stats, Facts & Milestones

* In terms of previous finals experience in both the Hyundai
A-League and the old NSL, the Newcastle Jets and Central Coast Mariners
have overall similar records. While Newcastle can call upon more players
in its squad with some form of Australian finals experience (14 Jets
players have played in finals campaigns before, compared with 12 for the
Mariners), the combined finals appearances of Central Coast players (175
finals matches) is actually higher than Newcastle's (128). Newcastle are
entering their third Hyundai A-League final's campaign while the
Mariners have been in the Finals Series just once previously.
