Grand Final - Perth vs Sydney FC - 19/05/19 - Match thread

I’m actually moving to Germany in September, keen to be part of this brotherhood with Freiburg and get to one of their games. Beautiful city by the look of it. I’m actually a gladbach fan but I’ve got a 2nd team now…

Probably a question for the merch thread but anyone with an idea if we can do another run of these scarves? They are epic, and this got a fair bit more publicity than the existing relationship did. Would be cool to see the management of both clubs recognise the shared support, too.

I’ve been to Freiburg but not to a game but it is a great little town, well worth a visit.

Random one. I reported an assault at the game (Glory fans who had drunk too much) to the cops. Being told they cant see it clearly on camera. I provided a very clear description of the time and location and was sober. Does it make sense that there’s no footage in Row 2 of a brand new stadium or am I being an idiot? Normally wouldnt consider going to the police but it was basically a sucker punch while I was looking the other way.

You’d think there would be footage, however depends how many people around (eg was it cove end because row 2 would have been pretty jammed and might be impossible to see on the camera) and where the camera is located.

Were there multiple witnesses to this, if so ask for their statement as well.

Edge of Cove waiting for boys to come over after pens.

One glorious stat continues to live on. No team with Liam Reddy in it will become champions.

That’s just a link to the TWG front page.

I imagine it’s the Freiburg article he’s referring to.

I love how that’s come about and I now have a team to follow in Germany!

Sorry to derail thread. This will be my last post on this - apologies for being selfish but keen to resolve. Anyone who was on left side of Cove end (left side when facing pitch)and has video/photos of crowd between 1950 and 2015 (Perth time). Seeking to identify a Glory fan for police matter. Hoping someone has a selfie or the like. Cheers.

It could just be down to the fact that it was in a crowd so they can’t obviously identify the incident or the assailant.

Anyways, recon the cops won’t do anything, the amount of work that it’d take them to track down the guy would be huge, considering, unless you place charges, they’ll find him, tell him off and off he goes.

Got legal advice and definitely pursuing. Dont want to go into details in public forum (also im hijacking a celebration thread). Its visible on CCTV but additional photos/video would be useful. Anyone with photos pls DM me.

Haven’t been on here since before the grand final. But what a fucking team and club. I love everyone of you beautiful people. From the people in the cove to people on the sideline. They doubted us after the loss of many key players and Arnie, so how do we reply? We go and win the ring. I’m so looking forward to next year as we go for the premiers plate. Just wanna sign off this season and say that football truly brings people together and I’m looking forward to next season already

Actually he’s touring with a Bronski Beat revival band (post Jimmy Sommerville)

Calver, Grant and Zullo have had some excellent instagram content of the aftermath.
The video of Grant/Redders playing piano in the hotel lobby and getting told off was next level.
