[Corsair]

Booked a hotel, been such a long wait may as well enjoy it.

But will make it hard for the many fans who were there last night with kids. 20k Mariner fans might not happen at that time if day in Para

Nah, the kids will love it, and they`ll all be asleep in the car by the time they get home.
This is a lifetime opportunity for the kids.
Any child over 8 will never forget this event,they`ll be telling their grandkids that they were there to cheer the Mariners back in 23.

Any Coastie parent that doesn`t take their kids to watch the Mariners in the Grand Final should be charged with child abuse.

At the pre-season sponsors breakfast we got to meet the players. I shook hands and chatted with a few. Sammy came over, offered his handshake and said, "Hi I'm Sam".....i replied "I know who you are Sammy and welcome home.....its so much better here, than being in that Shithole up North"...he gave me a big grin and said "you are not wrong".
I had a feeling he was very grateful to Monty for being rescued.
Who knew he would have such a good season. Having said that I did tell alot of you that the boy was the stand out talent of the kids at training 1st dance with us.

I`ve been at a few training sessions this season with dad and I can assure everyone here that the
NO DICKHEADS policy is alive and well at the Mariners.
Every player we`ve met and everyone of the backroom staff and coaches are 100% quality people.

We have never had 20k fans for any of our Sydney GF's
Last one was 12k
1 late night. 1. They can sleep in the car home

Reckon we had 15k at the Drive by final and the FFA made it very hard for us to get bulk tickets.

Yeah that’s what I’m worried about for tomorrow. Don’t have any information on how many we can purchase and if I need my extended families membership numbers etc..,

Yeah it’s already feeling like a bit of a mess. Feels needlessly rushed with the whole 2 weeks thing.

Why not start it on Wednesday? 10 days to buy and gives us more than 24 hours to try and rally everyone and sort tickets. Frustrating.

It's almost as though they just want to make money without any consideration for the needs of fans.

Almost...

Almost...

Which... actually helps MAKE THEM MONEY in this instance.

I'm worried all that hype is going to fizzle out with a 2 week break.

It already seems underwhelming and as has already been stated, that seemed like our GF to me

Last one was 2013. Not the scum one

Last final was vs WSW and sold out in record time.

We saw how long it took to get to 20k for the semi.

I believe one of the main reasons this one sold out was the amount of GA and being able to just add on a few more people and sort out the exact seats on the night. That’s unlikely to be the case at the GF. We normally attend with a few families, can we get 20 tickets at once? We probably won’t know until 11.

I'll be in Idaho, I usually just do a big night out then stay up and watch it after. Free on YouTube, love it

The Grand Final announcement was a direct result of Arnies plea after the World Cup for governments to invest more money into domestic football. I don't recall Arnie ever asking the for the fans to be consulted first.

I'm not sure if you're taking the piss or not.
If you are, well played,
If you are not, then you don't know what are you on about.
It has zero to do with what Arnie said and everything to do with the APL being poor at managing their finances. The idea was originally floated amongst the board and with the NSW government during Covid lockdowns and then reignited when they decided they wanted to commercialise everything they could about the A-league.
My sources? The failing chairman himseld Danny Townsend.

I'll be in Venice. Lunchtime kick off for me.

Venice,the city of canals.What a great place for a Mariners supporter to be on GF day apart from being at the place of the eels.All these watery references must be good omens.

Yeah I'll be in the Bay Area, going to be a laaaaate one. At least it's a Friday night/Saturday morning.

Random semi-final fact that has just struck me.

All 4 of our goals across the 2 legs came from the scorers weaker foot.

Monty’s weak foot only small sided games paying dividends
