Smoggy Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 (edited) Starting to hum the old tunes again this morning, can't wait for Saturday evening and to get back in to it. I have much pent up frustration from the last few months that can only legally be released in public via shouting at a football game Edited October 5, 2016 by WSWBoro btron3000, WSW27, shacols and 2 others 5 Link to comment
MartinTyler Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 http://www.foxsports.com.au/football/a-league/aleague-crowd-for-sydney-derby-tipped-to-exceed-60-000/news-story/1f4933a579f032b1a0f203f7be8c4b91 More derby crowd numbers speculation. This says 53,000 already sold.... the numbers are all over the place. I sometimes wonder if these figures are over-inflated just to get people motivated to buy. I've used the same technique myself when running coach trips back in the UK. I would book a 50 seater coach to a football match or Saturday night out and if 'sales' were slow I'd put the word out that there were only a few seats left. Amazing what response that can bring.

Taurus Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Latest estimates suggests that over 65k will attend. 66,666 would be a nice round number My question for the week: where did you hear/read about the latest estimate? Surprised you wasted a question on that (rather than the joint pressor tomorrow), when you could have just watched the Ch9 news clip on twitter. Damit you're right. Can I get a muligan? We will be represented by 2 players that wear double digit numbers on their kit. $1 per guess, winner takes all. Prydzopolis 1 Link to comment

I went to SOP last night for a recce and checked out the lawn bar area...basically it's an open grassed section (well d'uh lol) and I suspect the Showground folk will mount temporary bars there. No permanent seating but again suspect temporary will be implemented. Fück me if my serotonin levels aren't skyrocketing. Derby day approaching, chance to fling shît at smurfs, Popa banter...

Zelinsky Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 "The last time I was happy to get on the scoresheet but not with the result. But we are a far better side this time and I will personally be fitter and stringer than I was then, that’s for sure. I believe in our team 100 per cent and I don’t think there’s a side in the league which will work as hard as us." http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/article/2016/10/06/buoyant-bulut-seeks-derby-redemption-wanderers "We have great depth in the squad, and that’s what wins titles and we have the team to do that." That's the theory. We will just have to wait and see how it works out in practice. Alexander and HillsWanderer 2 Link to comment
Smoggy Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Pignata tweeting that Cove not sold out and about 10k smurf seats sold Pissweak effort Really do not understand this, why would all the smurfs that go to Allianz for the derby not make the short journey to ANZ for a derby game? It is ******* hilarious, but also I would have loved to have seen a 75,000 plus attendance with both the blue side and WSW side packed out. Just goes to show how piss poor ESFC support base really is when it comes to the crunch.. EmMac, ManfredSchaefer, Burgerman and 5 others 8 Link to comment

Just goes to show how piss poor ESFC support base really is when it comes to the crunch.. Because they are going to see for the first time with their own eyes which club really has the bigger support. That doesn't go with their self proclaiming 'biggest club in Australia' tag.

echidna Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 With Delije reporting Pax of 41,088 I think it is fair to call the A-League all-time record of 55,436 (MV v AU GF of 2007) broken! i.e. 41,088 + approx 15,000 WSW Seated Members = 56,000+ Next stop is a Pax of 45,000 so we can beat the all-time NRL regular season record of 59,708 (Souths v Easts at ANZ 2013). If Taurus' 40,752 was at 10am and Delije's 41,088 at 11.30, then that is 336 in 1.5hrs which is 224 an hour. At that rate, we will reach 59,709 in 16.16hrs after 11.30am = 11.30am today + 16hrs 9min and 54.64sec... = 3.39am and 54.64sec tomorrow morning! Which is under an hour before the WCQ in Saudi Arabia kicks off! Now none of you has an excuse to sleep in! Link to comment
