Jets got dicked out of hosting an F3
Good God, I can’t see the club or league surviving this
What I love about this sausage-fest forum is I can say something you probably agree with like “Two other clubs shouldn’t be sharing our derby with us” and you’ll pick me on some completely innocuous bullshit.
Number 1, you constantly complain about the sausage fest yet you’ve been previously banned and yet you come back
Number 2, MULTIPLE comments were made about the daftness of wasting this round on a derby
OK, then fuck off if you don’t like it.
I’m tired of your incessant, baseless whingeing and the massive chip on your shoulder every fucking time someone disagrees with you it HAS to be because it’s you and not because your take is shite.
I turned a blind eye to you creating a new account after I specifically told you not to come back after your last outburst, because I believe in second chances.
Pull your head in, if you can’t, you’ll be banned permanently, this is not a public space and there are rules.
If it it’s a genuine “round 27” extra game and not a case of clubs losing a marquee fixture, the it makes perfect sense to load up with your biggest games. The English super league magic weekend where everyone stole the idea from was originally stacked with local derby’s for maximum exposure.
Now whether the event actually generates the relevant exposure is to be determined. it certainly won’t with empty stadiums an unappealing games.
They can barely pull 10k for their “derby” anyway.
See I’d disagree. They’re further diluting the derbies. We already play three times a year, a fourth is just going to make it stale and mean less…
I think that is a fair take and may be right. I guess the hope is that surrounded by the hoopla of unite round and other teams, games and fans that the stand alone home derby’s retain their value.
The isn’t much point though running it again like last year. Calling it a failure is still being generous. The aim is to create additional exposure so you need the best games. They have the government money, they may as well try. It’s probably a safer bet that it ends after this year anyway.
Edit: I’m assuming this will be the 3rd game and not a 4th
It appears that way, 29 rounds total incl. byes.
“The 20th anniversary of the Isuzu UTE A-League Men will see each club play 24 home and away fixtures, plus two additional third match up fixtures Unite Round and one other), plus three byes.”
Assume we’ll just play Wests and Shame 3 times.
A 13 team fixture is a shit, especially if you have to have a minimum of 27 matches per season (Australia Cup or playoff provides the last required game). No good formula to make it work.
That’s exactly it. 26 ALM games plus at least one Australia Cup (playoff counts) is the 27 required for AFC purposes.
Will be cleaner once Canberra come in and we get to a proper 26 round (13 x home and away) season.
And be even better in 2075 when we finally hit 16 team 30 game home and away season.
yeah fair call, did we have the crowd figures from last year just out of interest?
and we’re still contemplating a NSD
Fuck it. Just bring in 15 and 16 in with Canberra.
EXPANSION DRAFT!!!
Tasmanian Timbers and Gold Coast Surf!
Cowabunga
Which really highlights how theyre basically watering down the sydney derby and f3 derby to boost their numbers and make it look like unite rounds gaining traction.
