lets see the line up Babbel decides to play, it will be interesting. On paper we should be too strong for Mariners however there is enough danger from Tommy Oar, De Dilva and Silvestre to worry our defence.

[Burgerman]

Not sure what to expect result wise so will tip a draw and should be interesting to see what formation we use. 

So gutted I can't make it as still recovering from foot surgery 😫

[Jowel]

Is Matt Simon suspended for this game ?

[WHACKO]

I see us as side still in pre-season. With several players coming back from injuries, not match fit and not having time to gel as

a team. As well as Meier only arriving a couple weeks ago. I think it will take us a month a least to be up and running at full capacity.

At this stage without seeing the team, I see a low scoring draw.

No. Won by 2 goals or more for mine.

Lopar has played every pre-season game with some outstanding saves and less f.u's than Vedran.

Back 3 will be dominant whoever plays and will probably be Tass, McGowan and Jurman (Ziggy on the bench)

Wingbacks Kamau and Georgievski (Elrich if Danny is still injured). Russell off to Olyroos camp. Wilmering is possibility as well.

Schwegler and Baccus DM. The weight of passes against Sydney United was telling.

AM will either be Sullivan, Meier or Grozos or a combination thereof. Wilmering played as sub in this position against Sydney United

FW will probably be Yeboah and Adam with Duke on the bench

If you look at the Sea-bogans, back 4 of Ziggy Gordon, Dylan Fox, Kye Rowles and Clisby with Birighitti in goal, we are going to get past them with a few.

Still need to be good against Birighitti still rate him as one of the better keepers in the league.

What sort of crowd is expected?

I have a feeling 12-15k. The way WSW are pushing for ticket sales on SM suggests not many general ticket sales have been sold. Our membership total is down too from the last couple of years (which is strange, unless the cows have already had an impact).

Anything under 25k will be seen as a failure by the wider HAL community and rival fans because we've been harping on about this stadium for 3 years.

But success brings the crowds....and its gonna rain on Saturday lol

Our terrible past two seasons may have "burnt off " more of the fairer weather fans and the experiences with security at SOP may have added to that.

It really feels like season 1, game 1. I’m sure there’s a huge contingent of fans who won’t be attending until we get their attention with a few wins and big crowds. 

Then the explosion in crowds will happen lol

the key right now is to be positive and patient and support the boys on the park no matter what. Build that connection with the team again. Then they will play for us

I think it will be between 15k - 18k. I have to buy a few tickets later tonight so will PAX.

All seats are under a roof but wind will likely mean some of the front rows still get wet

Some of the rows right at the back might get wet also depending on the wind.

No chance any seats at the back will ever get wet.

The roof overhang is way too deep.

For the Leeds game I parked at Nth Parra and walked the 10min to the ground.

Yes...it's all changed around the stadium.

From the Leeds game, no more parking at Cumberland Hospital, and up around the old gaol, and along O'Connell street...all blocked off for the light rail (is what I was told).

There is a big new car park tho.

But a lot has changed.
