Whos sitting pretty now??
Member held off on buying a Semi in Sydney ticket until he had confirmation who was playing.
Figured the 3 hour train trip there and 3 hours back would only be worthwhile if Australia were playing plus i m doing it anyway for the Final regardless of whos playing. Picked up the newy pack and now Australia look like coming to town am sitting pretty.
Disclaimer: We will probably lose on Thursday anyway so my foresight and intelligence will be not relevant anyway

Heard the same, but also heard Aaron Kearney say the exact opposite i.e. They are locked in. So who knows.
To be honest, while I will be disappointed if the Semi's were to be swapped between the 2 venues, I could understand the decision. 80,000 fans having the chance to see the National Team versus under 30,000, that's a big difference both in numbers and $$$. And we all know what wins out in the end.
I got Sydney and Newy packs, and have gone to every game so far at those two plus plan to go to both semis, so where the potential Socceroos semi is located doesn't bother me as to if I'll get to see it or not.
But I would love to see a packed Turton Road, with the Socceroos there. Would be amazing!
OK
What will grind people's gears, if they do change it, is that now the Socceroos have fallen on the Newcastle Semi side of the draw, people have bought their tickets accordingly.
To move it now, the AFC may have to accept single game purchase tickets a refund. That would be at their discretion, however, but it will piss a lot of people off.

100% , we have bought our tickets in good faith and they should do likewise. No other country would do this during a major tournament and if I was the opposition I would be kicking up a stink as well . Its a sporty event and if this goes away from Newcastle for me it would be breaking a unwritten rule of sporting integrity .
Why didnt they give us the other semi to start with? a ground change wouldnt have been needed.
oh thats right Australian football inept twats
seriously, what does FFA have to do with this? This is an AFC tournament.
