So, you making your way down the mountains for this one?

Nope. Working all weekend because my uncle is in town building stairs and doing a big lot of concreting and I am cheap (I.e. free) labour.

I have done a shite load of work this week. Need this weekend in the city (staying over)..

Can I walk away from Moore Park happy two weekends running..hope so.

Although I can guarantee I won't be belting out Hey Jude while waiving an England flag like a right nutter while my son has his hand over his face this time...I'm like sooo lame...

Did you pick up decent digs?

I looked at doing that earlier in the week when I bought my ticket, considering I'm heading there on my own, and Alex Glassons can't guarantee me a ride home on the Sydney Trains system this weekend, but most places I looked at were so expensive, and the cheap places were cesspits.

How on earth did he manage to get a two year contract out of them?  Another Corica masterstroke

Our contract was "two years" but the 2nd was an option not automatic. Might be the same thing again.

It is interesting (and good) that Hoff hasn't attracted the same vitriol as Nink having defected to us. Haven't heard his name mentioned.

He's been a great find and will be a loss for SFC.

Already in the city having breakfast by the water.

Trains are running every 35 mins or so and VERY slow when on it, took a while.

Give yourself plenty of extra time today.

Fire the **** up lads cracking day hopefully ninko hits the winner 

gobbled up some of the TAB’s gracious odds of 3.60

cannot wait haven’t been this pumped for a derby since we moved back home.

I'm disappointed by this. Imagine ninko slipping one past him in the Derby.

Anyone here going to Parramatta and catching the train in with the RBB, then doing the march?

Anyone brave enough to offer match predictions for tonight's game against little boy Corica's team?

I've forgotten how long it is since I've looked forward to a trip east.
Heading in shortly for a few pre-match refreshments in The Shakespeare

I think we'll be ok.
Mainly because they're not much chop anymore.
And we're just always better when we're the underdog. [had a few quid on the $3.90 win]

I really like the cut of Nieuwenhof and am predicting he will have a stormer.
Ninko to score. It will happen.

And the support to be reminiscent of the old days.
C'mon Wanderers.
Who do we sing for?

I just walked from Redfern station to the boundary of Waterloo and Moore Park. 2 kms, 30 minutes. - had prepared myself for some heckling and banter, geographically should be deep in Smurf territory - but not a single Smurf in sight. I find that quite remarkable.

Where is good old mapman when you need him, and explain to us the geographical boundaries of Sydney, and were east is in relation to west?

**** me the ticket prices for this are ridiculous $62.50 for premium!

anyway I will be cheering the team on from Bay 436, as mentioned, I think one of the girls from work likes me so just enjoying this me time before it becomes us time

Premium tickets absolute waste of money. It will be no diff to the old stadium, feel cut off from the atmosphere. No way would I pay $ to sit up there.

Regarding the new stadium: will Smurf supporters have an opportunity to glas bottle the RBB from corporate boxes?

One reason why I’ll spend my Saturday night with y’all 

But yes most saturdays are as the song describes

I’ll report back! If it’s bad I’ll go silver next time (but silver was iirc behind the RBB, and I like that side view)

Really regretting not going tonight. Had some commitments that where going to make getting to the game virtually impossible, but as fate should have it they've changed. Doh!
Now I'm left screaming at the screen.

Could N'Gbakoto be our new Castalen (with some more goals).

Allianz Stadium: yeah sure, everyone can walk through the same gate

Also Allianz Stadium: excuse me sir, we'll need to take your lid off the water bottle you just bought

Rubbish stadium. Why would you build it with the same seating gradient as the old stadium.
