Tranquilo Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Nice away trip vs Avala. Have already checked out flights for around 2k return flights to Serbia. https://flights.webjet.com.au/FlightSearch/FlightSearch/Results?Locale=en-AU#?Adults=1&Children=0&Infants=0&TravelClass=Economy&TripType=Return&FlightCategory=international&Return=SYD-SYD-BEG-BEG-20180828-20180831&CityFrom=Sydney&CityTo=Belgrade mack 1 Link to comment

Balkanite and I are a two minute walk from BWE. Would have been perfect - pre-match feast of cevapi and rakija at the House of Balkanite, walk it all off on the way there and then home before 9:30pm. I know I shouldn't be complaining, but Marconi seems like a state away compared to BWE I was there for their big Italian Republic Day back in May and parking was a bitch with such a big crowd. Might uber it there... StringerBellend and EmMac 2 Link to comment

About 9K according to wiki.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marconi_Stadium ....."The current capacity of the ground is reduced heavily. The eastern stand is disused by the club because the ground foundations have washed away, and the terrace . Mount Pritchard[clarification needed] have purchased the stands themselves, they have recently been removed resulting from the stadium capacity decrease from 11500 to now 9000."..........

WSW once claimed they attracted 4k to a WL game, but I was there, they must have counted legs not heads MartinTyler, wendybr and sonar 1 2 Link to comment
mack Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 That article needs to be re-written/updated. the foundation was repaired, it now has a small raised camera/commentary box position and the rest converted to a basic grassed area. I would put the capacity as similar to Lily Homes stadium, at around 7000. sonar 1 Link to comment

I remember when it wasn’t a Taj Mahal and you had to sit on the hill on the east or the western side and the only concrete was the paths near the fences. And the sheds were on the southern side of the ground. Link to comment

More like the FFA trying to appease Muscat after his criticism about playing their FFA Cup game at Dorrien Gardens and allow for a bigger crowd in case Honda plays. Will Melb Vics start getting the rub of the green from the refs now they are flavour of the month with the FFA? Link to comment

btron3000 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I'm confused. Are the tickets only going on sale to Bonnyrigg types on Wednesday, or to us too? Link to comment
