AFC Champions League 2013

[pjennings]

I think we've got a good chance of picking up the bog seat; will we win the play-off? Depends on when it is.
I'd rather see someone else getting crucified trying to be competitive in two comps at the pointy end of our season.
The times Adelaide were doing OK in Asia, they were stone motherless (or nearly so) in the A-League; they were only concentrating on one comp.
I'd rather us being up top of the A-League and concentrating on it.

I'm greedy, I want us to compete and win everything we can.

I don't know where break-even is in Asia, but presumably there is some point where the prize money starts becoming more than your expenditure on travel etc. I wonder if that is on Arnie's mind given the current financial status?

You can see we're all pumped for the ACL game!

But seriously, prediction
2-0
Crowd: 6,000

2-0 yes

Crowd 2,500
After the debacle of service from last game i know there were a lot of pissed off people that vowed not to venture back for an ACL game.

 

[Tassiemariner]

Also just read they have Zvjezdan Misimovice in their squad. For any Bundesliga followers, he pulled the strings behind Dzecko for Wolfsburg's 08-09 Championship season. Quite a player.

Agree, lots of people really fed up with the terrible experiences at the last game.

I'm unable to make a 7pm kick off and to be honest, I dont give a shit.

Arrived straight from work last home game, unable to get anything to eat or drink.

I'll be there, cheering and supporting the boys, regardless if I have to wait 4 hours to get in and not get a chance to eat a crappy 4 day old hot dog. I support my team regardless of whether its raining, the game is on a Wednesday, Monday, or Saturday in the freezing cold or the blistering sun. How do you think the boys will feel running out on Wednesday night infront of a crowd of less than 5000. I would find it uninspiring to know that your fans are not attending just because some moron at a ticket booth couldnt print out tickets fast enough.

Pointless rant over!

COYY!!!

. i don't know how much of that stuff is under the club's control (they don't manage ticketting or the stadium/food & bev.) ... and i will not argue their input by guessing

. but ... the acl is costing the club big bucks just to participate, you could get cheap tickets if you wanted (compare that to the ffa finals money grab!). every person that stays away is hurting the club - ticketek don't care, the stadium will be paid regardless, the food & bev vendors obviously don't give a shit

. these problems are self-perpetuating and it is pretty embarrassing when even the 'rusted-on' supporters can't be bothered because they can't buy an overpriced pie and chips at the ground

No idea about the ticket booth, I am a member for ACL too

Do you think the "boys" ever wonder how fans who pay 100's of $$ to go to an away game feel when they simply walk off after a game?

They get the level of engagement they deserve.

Ah! So they go for the pies and not the football! No wonder they stay away

 

[Gratis]

Best thing for me is more Mariners games to watch when otherwise we'd be left hanging.

Gold.
