mack Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Macarthur have potential as a medium/long term project with good management, although they were clearly not a team who should have been added to the league in this expansion. WU will be GCU tier until they get their mythical stadium and rebrand to get rid of the painfully generic "Western United" name. MartinTyler, wendybr and BoyFromTheWest 3 Link to comment

Fair point it will be only at our ground if cows win, which is a distinct possibility given the form or a McClaren less city So cows will have played a grand final at parra before us to Link to comment

The timing of everything just fell in their favour, including the Melbourne lockdown. Edited June 14, 2021 by GE942150 wendybr 1 Link to comment

GunnerWanderer Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I fancy Adelaide to give Sydney a good game shame Goodwin looks to be gone Even macarthur with city missing their players could be interesting. who knows maybe Arnie will send the A-League lads home now we are qualified for next round Link to comment

Both teams deserve a full house, tbh. Assuming we're not heading back to crowd restrictions?? Better for the A League if it's well supported. And I hope it's a cracking game.

Davo Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Saying that the team that finished sixth and are playing an away final down the road from their home ground deserve a full house sounds a little tone deaf, especially when the team that finished first is playing their home final in another state.

pseudonym Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Ticket Prices for City vs Macarthur (1 × Adult) Active bays = $40 Bronze = $35 Silver = $40 Platinum = $60 Platinum Plus = $70 The fixture may deserve a full house But does that have to come about through price gouging? Does it have to come at the expense of the integrity of the competition? It is sometimes challenging to schedule finals matches around other sports' fixtures, but it helps football stand out from AFL who lock in the MCG and NRL who lock in Stadium Australia for their respective grand finals Edinburgh 1 Link to comment
Carns Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Are these fixtures controlled by the clubs (APL)? Like FFA used to control the finals? If so, poor form with ticket prices. Should've made them dirt cheap to get as many people in as possible. Neither team are a big draw card. Link to comment
