Good onya Buddha. A lot of people would seek to cash in on the increased popularity
Nice gestureQuote:

Not only there was a good chance that Australia would finish second in their group and can now only play in front of 22000, but imagine if China win the quarter and play here their semi in front of 22000!!! As I said in an earlier post if only 5% of China watch the game it equates to ~ 65000000 yes ~ 65M Chinese watching. It was reported that their game V Saudi Arabia was watched by 160000000 yes 160M (~7 times the population of Australia)!!! And if they play Japan then probably another ~20000000 could be watching. So possible 200 M to 250M all over Asia watching the game played at Newy Stadium........And here is Newy stadium with grass area half empty behind goal posts ...!!! Amateurs really......embarrassing......
Just Shows what a joke the NSW Government is by not getting their fingers out of their arse to finish the stadium properly or at least **** the hills off with semi permanent seating like they did at Wankerland as a stop gap measure until they do actually finish it properlyQuote:

I think you will find if it is Australia V Japan you will have no issues getting cost anyway which you are more than entitled to
I guess it highlights the raw deal Newcastle & the Hunter have had over the years in getting a decent stadium.Quote:

there is several thousand kept aside for AFC exco members and sponsors. also a fair chunk of seats for media. so a sell out still looks pretty empty when all of them don't turn up. i don't think i've seen more than 100 AFC people in the stand at canberra at any match.Quote:

Now assuming a few got legitimate reasons ie they died or missed flight to Brisbane or something else for no showing the amount of empty seats would indicate they called it as sold out early when it were not really sold out
Anyone know why the "restricted" seats are restricted view? I bought my tickets months ago and am in Bay 41 row A for 3 v 4, and Bay 41 row C for the semi. Some **** from ticketek rang me the other day and said the seats for 3 v 4 are restricted view so they moved me to bay 60 but mentioned nothing of the semi. Is it cause of those stupid ****ing advertising fences that sit a few metres inside the normal fence?
Not being 100% certain where Bay 41 is and couldn't be arsed looking it up but Row A indicates fence line and assumption from me is lower tier western stand?? and the new you beaut benches instead of the Bunnings chairs may mean you would see shitQuote:

I did for Japan v Palestine, it wasn't too bad, we were just behind active support. Bought those tickets the night before the game though
How was that mazey run by Omar in the first half, that kid has so much skill. He really looks like he is going to be some player with a bit of experience. Some euro clubs are surely going to be throwing money at him.
Did for the first half of Japan v Palestine. As it looked a turkey shoot moved to the northern hill the second half to get close to the actionQuote:

Dam, would have liked Iran to fall into the quarter final against Japan. One of the biggest would go before semifinal time.
UAE the jets of the Asian cup. 60% possession, 500 completed passes to about 200 for Iran and yet still less balls into the area and less shots at goal hahaha
Guess who got UAE in Asian Cup Sweep!!????Quote:

Looking at temporary seating behind goal posts.....thank god for that!!!!
Omar juygfterdrfbhjknjkk;llkjhgfhjkb goes well for UAE
Ah, remember those heady days of 2010 when we thought we actually had a shot at getting the World Cup?
Money was going to flow in and major upgrades would happen.
There was even talk of replacing the ATCO sheds.
Good times ... good times.

Regardless of who is playing, this should happen. I think it will too.Quote:
