Brilliant reminder of what is at stake Sunday Night! Trash-talk not my thing - macho, bravo BS that lowers us to their level. Let the boys feet, football and goals do all the talking we need. Come on you boys in Blue!!
The Italian Restaurants in Leichhardt are more authentic and of a higher standard than anything to be found in Lygon Street.
The view from Mount Dandenong is not pleasing to the eye, and lacks interest and charm.
Even the games we’ve had a 12k have been great from an atmosphere perspective. Anything over that is a bonus.
One thing in our favour is that the weather forecast for the next 10 days is all clear skies. With have of the stadium out in the open, any chance of rain would have been a massive deterrent (in addition to the 7pm, mother’s day kick off).
The quality of their beaches is inferior to ours. Our sand is cleaner and of a finer grain.
VB is overpriced, considering its relatively poor quality.
Yeah agree, honestly thought for some reason the game with 19k was one of the worst atmospheres of our games at Kogarah. Maybe I was expecting too much, and also from memory that game was a bit flat (and we lost), but most of our games with 11-12k were great.
This one will be good no doubt though, even 15k will have the place rocking.
Crowd figures and atmosphere have no correlation for us. Some of our best atmospheres have been in the ACL campaigns with sub 7k attendance figures.
Despite the collection of limestone stacks off the shore of the Great Ocean Road in Victoria being known as the “12 apostles”, there are in fact, only 8 formations in total.
Oooh I see what we’re doing here. Let me try:
People from Melbourne are shitcunts.
Their Chinatown is a disappointing betrayal of the suffix “town”, and in fact is closer to a fucking diorama.
The ‘Lord of the Fries’ is not in fact a member of the nobility.
In support of it’s recommendation to add the Sydney Opera House to the UNESCO World Heritage List (placing it alongside the Taj Mahal, the ancient Pyramids of Egypt and the Great Wall of China as one of the most outstanding places on Earth) the International Council’s Report on Monuments and Sites said of that great building that it “…stands by itself as one of the indisputable masterpieces of human creativity, not only in the 20th century but in the history of humankind”
The same cannot be said of the Myer Music Bowl
Quiet a catchy song title.
Match preview is up:
I believe we will line up as follows:
You can find information on The Cove’s game plans here – get to the ground 30 minutes before kick-off to make some noise for the lads during warm-up.
