Rd 12 - NYE vs Perth

[Ironbark]

Sorry, but a true fan does not swap allegiances due to management personnel changes. You support your local club (well team more than club probably for most of us, given MC’s stewardship since he took over) pure and simple. If CCM ever folded, I don’t think there is any way I could become a supporter of another club, as it would just feel like a betrayal personally.

Be angry at the club when it drops the ball (as it undoubtedly has on numerous occasions) but always back the team at the end of the day.

I feel this way too. And boy have I wanted to ditch this club in recent years, but I just can't do it.

Everybody is different though I guess.

There is concern that with social media younger fans are becoming fans of players not teams. So unfortunately you may see more of it in the future. This for all sports

Hot and smokey . I hope the change comes before the game starts.

Anyone know the expected crowd? Pax numbers are saying over 10k...

That would be sweet. 12-15 would really make a statement for how things are progressing this season.

Decent southerly due about 6pm. Drops it about 16°c

Adds weight to starting summer games as late as possible for player safety ... also at 4:00 who wants to sit in the sun on a stinker of a day...

Doubt we'll crack 10K but anywhere close will be a good turn out.

100%
Stadiums need to invest in misting systems also.

current conditions would give perth a huge advantage

 

[FFC Mariner]

8k ish I'd guess. No fireworks will keep a few away

In other news - more parking

Why?
We`ll be just as advantaged /disadvantaged...
Just winning the toss would help

 

[Ozhammer]

I think the fireworks being cancelled is going to significantly affect crowd numbers negatively tonight.

hot weather means we'll find it harder to play an up tempo game .
if it's sit and hit .their class will tell

And It’s usually hotter in Perth so they conditioned. Travel the only help

They should move the game back to 7.45. It’s still going to be hot until around 8pm for the change. That way the sun is gone and makes it much more comfortable to watch. There is no pressure to lose the crowd with the fire works

.
I read somewhere that Perth’s weather has been similar to ours recently add to that that they have lost 3 hrs coming here. I’m optimistic about this one...

All the Prawn sandwich seats are sold out. Should be 10k plus but this heat and the lack of fireworks will deter a few that were undecided.

I can't go but gave my pass to a brand new Coastie to enjoy.
