If I recall correctly that central coast game, they were saying they could t mark the lines because the area was covered by puddles.
Apparently pitch is fine, but there is water pooling which is the concern
Iām looking forward to the return of Puddleinhoā¦ from the comfort of my living room
What about delaying until next Saturday? There are no games scheduled then (I presume for the international break, which wouldnāt affect either team).
Just been confirmed that itās going ahead
Ugh, Sunday night games are the pits.

Sunday 5pm is fine. Sunday 7pm would be the worst kickoff time of the weekend.
Whats our worst ever crowd? This may come close
Our worst HAL home crowd was just over 4,000 people turning up for a 3-1 win against the 'Nix in December 2010 (weather was even worse than this). Itās a vividly depressing memory because weād just lost the vote to host the World Cup and I was sitting there thinking how badly Australian football could use a boostā¦

As @King_Arnold said, a 2010 game against the Nux had 4,012 for our worst ever A-League attendance:

Our worst competitive home game attendance was against Adelaide in the FFA Cup (3,536 attendance), which is probably what led to us not playing home non-finals FFA Cup games at Allianz:

You might also count Pre-season Cup, in which case there was 3,424 against Perth in 2005, also at Allianz:

Im surprised an ACL game wasnt in that.
There was just over 4k in Kogarah the other night
Ahh the Battle of Bluetongue. I remember bumping into Brosquey at the Gosford Maccaās after the first one was postponed. But those were the days when the entire team coach also used to stop at the F3 Maccas for Newy away.
Serious question: do any of those who were at Daft Punk regret it now? I remember they were all defiant in the immediate aftermath, being a once in a lifetime opportunity to see some French blokes press a few buttons. But considering every form of electronic music sounds dated 5 minutes after itās released, surely enough time has passed for them to see the error of their ways by now. 
That goal by the racist one is still absolutely outrageous.

Pitch looks okay:
Iād really prefer Ivanovic, Devlin or even Austin starting on the right. Caceres should be fighting Retre to partner Branners if Brillante is going.

Zero regrets going to Daft Punk as Iāve stated multiple times, got see an act I always wanted to see and just as they started got the we just won 5-4 text.
On the other hand, any regrets cheering for a racist scoring a goal
That was one of the more fun games Iāve been to. Watching the ball roll towards goal, then take a u-turn and stay out 
Iām confident we can win. Weāve had some good performances against them this season, and it does feel like the City players are getting a sniff of the possibility of Joyce being sacked. When that happens, teams rarely play at their best regardless of effort.
Looking by far the sharper early
I wouldnāt mind seeing OāNeill try some long-distance shots in these conditions. Heās not bad at hitting them and get the ball to skid nicely off the turf. Potentially tricky night for keepers.
