Reflects the number of football journo’s to other sports journalists. Let’s be honest though, after the dribble that has come out of that newspaper, nobody wants to read it anyway...

Hughesy Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 22 hours ago, Erebus said: The Sunday 7pm derby is purely so Fox has it exclusively. Same reason why there's a Melb Derby on a Friday night. They give the Saturday slot to Ch10, then remove 2 derbies from that slot haha. It'll definitely affect attendance. If it had to be 7pm Sunday, it should be during school holidays. But FFA/FOX... If we make the FFA cup final, It’ll be the 4th time playing them. You’ll be lucky to get 25k there...

Smash them 4-0 then make a final against them on their ground, who wouldn’t want to go to that. Get humped like we did in game 1 last year and even I’d be tempted to give the rematch a wide berth* *by that I mean I’ll go anyway edit: I just re read your comment. I am a bellend you meant the 4th derby not the cup final. same applies if we hammer them in the next game people will come. If we get beat, it will rely on their home fans to turn up Edited October 18, 2017 by StringerBellend Link to comment

DCWSW Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 In Jan this year, a sell out was declared a day before the game whereas in Feb 2016 it was declared two days out. something not right. Link to comment

Erebus Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 This is the power of the AFL/NRL. Even today there are pages of NRL content and what little derby content is a number of pages in. The fact that the AFWL or whatever it's called gets mainstream media attention for its draft just hows how far we are behind. Prydzopolis 1 Link to comment
DCWSW Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Looks like we are struggling to sell out our allocation. The platnium plus section, I was able to select 10 seats together in row G Prydzopolis 1 Link to comment
Erebus Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 How much do they cost? That's probably the reason. Let's not forget, we have 6 NSW away games this season. Its ridiculous and costs the same as your membership. I don't know why the FFA haven't split the NSW teams up in terms of away games and home games. Its either 6 away or 3 away season by season.

DCWSW Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 If you're going to travel into the city and watch it at the Agincourt hotel you might as well head to the stadium. It's only a 20min walk from central Prydzopolis 1 Link to comment

Edinburgh Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Anyone know where the march will enter the stadium/stadium precinct? Usually it's via the SCG but last time via Moore Park Rd (?) Link to comment
Prydzopolis Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Had the same issue when buying both Socceroo and derby tickets, both took over 15 minutes because it was “allocation exhausted” StringerBellend and wendybr 2 Link to comment

When you are sitting there having selected your tickets but it's not loading then other people can't buy your tickets. Then it times out and your tickets become available again. So it's just luck that you are the person whose page loads at the time the tickets go back on the market. At least, that's what I reckon happens! Link to comment
beatsurrender Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Bought 2 more tickets, PAX 23.391 Link to comment
DCWSW Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Can still get tickets in sets of 10 in both home and away sections. WSW allocated areas seem to be struggling to sell. Link to comment
