Round 5 Away (sort of) Vs Perth - Canberra

[T]

Hmmm, they were also advertising Corporate Boxes for both games.... 16 ppl plus 7 parking and 1 x VIP parking, buffet menu, no alcohol (I think) included for over $5500.
Don't think anyone took them up on it.
Asked various ppl throughout the night if they knew about the game, and they said nope, had not heard anything.

Pretty sure i read somewhere on 442 from one of the organisers of Canberras supporter groups that they did not want to attend this game due to assuming that the 12th team was already WS. They then decided to not promote the game whatsoever which they did do for the Aus game a while back. Silly move from them IMO. Will look for link to said post.

Why is it up to the supporter groups to promote the game?

 

[FFC Mariner]

Coz the clubs themselves have NFI?

(Just a thought)

 

[Roy Law]

As the Mariners barely promote home games at home you wouldn't expect them to promote a home game in Canberra would you? Except, of course, the 'benefit' to members of a free ticket

Had a good time at the game. IMO there was not 5000 people there.

Na, there were 5000 people there.

Its not but they realised it was in their best interests to help promote the Aussie game for the good of their bid. Its unfortunate that they did not put the same effort into this game as everyone would have been talking about the need to have a canberra side.

Gold coast got 6k, Fury got 7k, Welly 8k - Canberra getting 5k if it was 4 degrees at half time (so I'm told) isn't that bad.

FYI the hamburgers at canberra stadium were awesome.

Did they pour the beers properly?

LOL funny you should ask - the first 4 I got was perfect - angled the plastic cup and poured in properly, and yet still just as quick as dumping the bottle straight in, so it had the perfect amount of head, no spillage, 10/10. It went down hill from there though

Maybe they were drinking the dregs in the bottles after they poured it & got a little drunk as the night wore on.

We paid for four beers, they then informed us they actually has no beer left, when they re-stocked they asked us how many we ordered, we walked away with 7.
