I'd be pretty shocked if Sydney didn't make it through to the GF anyway - although its possible.

FFA have absolutely no grounds to move the final if we win tomorrow night and sydney lose.

10,000 tickets sold for the "biggest rivalrly in football". ****ing pathetic.

They wont. The article states something about the GF being held in Newcastle, Sydney or Melbourne but that is what the FFA booked a few weeks ago when it became apparent that they were the only 3 places it could be held. If we loose and Sydney loose then it will be in Melbourne. If Sydney win it will be in Sydney, if we win and Sydney loose it will be in Newcastle. FFA have already stated that and I can't see them going back on it.

I agree. They held a Grand Final in Adelaide. Our ground holds more people than Hindmarsh. Like you said there's no reason why it won't be.

Grand Final in Adelaide was at the Oval, not Hindmarsh. We dont have a larger alternative venue.

Stop bringing facts into this Furns. It's making my argument look bad FFS.

With a capacity of 33,000+ we don't need a larger alternative. AAMI park has a slightly lower capacity, and that is what is booked as the Melbourne option. So they wont move it for that. Hindmarsh only holds 16,000, no comparison.

Where did all this tin foil hat shit come from anyway?

FFA said it publicly so its rock solid.

We're football fans so it's in our nature.

Moreso, we're Jets fans.

[halo se7en]

They haven’t said anything because City have the match won so it’s not an issue #tinfoilhat

ummm you realise they said that last time until ppl started asking for confirmation a few weeks out from the GF? They strung everyone along until it came out the week of the elimination final that SFS would be the venue.

If we had 50000 seats ffa would want 60k. Not gonna happen.

Also we will be on season vacation by Sat morn. Great year though etc

FFA have been quietly pointing the refs in the right direction all season for Sydney.
Given that we're almost at capacity for tonight one would surmise that it would be in their best interests to make sure the GF goes the correct way this weekend.

Shame Smurfs don't play first - if they qualify best case scenario is us getting through and travelling down by the thousands. Plenty of room still in the away bay tonight so can't imagine many City fans will travel to the GF.

Melbourne derby on the other hand...

And how about this...Ronny's brother Roddy dropping the truth bombs on Sydney.

The former Victory defender also believes that Sydney FC’s midfield destroyers Brandon O’Neill and Josh Brillante are cut too much A-League slack, claiming Asian Champions League referees have taken a more hard-line stance.

Dear Jets Club:
If you don't make a genuine effort to include Con in the grand final plans for the club his week you can all go get ****ed.


Just remember, all of your great work this season still pales into insignificance compared to what that bloke has done.

No one is saying hes perfect, but neither are any of you assholes.

Here's your chance to do something cool and 'remember how you got here'.

Do the right thing Middleby.

Cheers,
Plague.
