FFA say no to jets GF.

[dibo]

From the SMH today:

Football Federation Australia is expected to announce today it's ruling that both Bluetongue and EnergyAustralia stadiums are not big enough to host the title decider on Februaury 24. Depending on the match-up, either Sydney Football Stadium or the Olympic stadium at Homebush will be the venue for the biggest game of the year.
It's believed the Mariners are happy with the arrangement, but Jets owner Con Constantine told the Herald last week he would fight the ruling if Newcastle earned hosting rights by the winning the major semi.

the simple fact is that both of our grounds are too small - we can always use it to lobby for a bigger ground?

Oh Dibo....... Dibo Dibo Dibo.  Absolutely.  Freaking.  Hilarious.

Totally overboard, but one of the funniest things I've ever read on their forum.  You need to be drunk on the internet more often.

;D ;D ;D ;D

Aptly named the "Kwassie f**ked over the bogans and gave us the Premiership" stand/roof & bar.

Bulldoze the bowlers club, new stand, increase ground capacity. Too easy.

Soon we'll be able to rename this thread "CCM say no to Jets GF"

I don't see how they can do this as tickets will go on sale after the completion of the major semifinals. It's a shame but I guess we just have to accept it and move on.

Here, here! Make sure it's got a roof on it. Image how much noise would've be coming out of it last saturday night.

yeah, was a little over the top. celebrations gone OB. apologies to you folks!  :-[

Gee Dibo, those posts over at the squadron's forum were a bit rich.......
1) You may have to don a disguise to get in and out of EAS this week.
2) I think the apology should be put on their forum not ours.

can anyone tell me why N'castle got the home tie in the major semi and not us?

they play at home first, so we come home knowing what we need to do. that also means that extra time or penalty kicks are in front of our fans, not theirs.

I find this to be a good resource: www.ccmariners.com.au

Dibo has made a huge mistake, he has lost respect from the sensible fans on our website (apology or not). That is something he will have to live with. Please dont try and lessen what Dibo said by putting it back on people wanting to start a fight.

Now to your question: You maybe right Curious some maybe looking for an excuse, in saying that those same people were given an excuse when a mariner fan walked in amongst our supporters during the game 2 weeks ago and tried to cause $hit and nothing happened then so unless people from both sides are up for something then nothing will happen.

i cocked up, but they wanted to fight me anyway. changes nothing, tools are tools, and there are a few of them on there.

can we let it die now?

Ok Drunk (Just Joking)

More importantly how are sales for your home game going?

i've NFI - murdered the old bank balance so i'm waiting on my ING transfer to clear tomorrow morning before i can buy tix. :-[

 

[FFC Mariner]

Both games will sell out for sure and certain. 2 away bays at EAS almost gone already.

...murdered the old bank balance...

ditto on that

What sort of crap is going to happen if the Mariners and Jest play in the GF and it is in Sydney? The FFA would be mad to let it happen. The publicity that will occur on the trains home is going to be a nightmare... There are d..kheads in both groups of supporters...
