The Australian Championship 🇦🇺🏆

I can’t believe none of you realise that a MAJOR factor is the potential for a 35 degree day in Sydney!!!!
 
Goes to show the importance of scheduling, a stupid midday kick off at Marconi on the day of wanderers v Sydney fc was always less than ideal. You were always going to only get the core supporters who would be there no matter what, and even some of them wouldn’t have been able to make it.

4K at Hellas v Alexander for the Greek derby in a semi, so less than the 4.6k who were at the APIA v Marconi in the Italian derby in a quarter final on a day with similar weather. The main differentiating factor was probably the fact that the later was on prime time on a Friday night

I don’t have strong feeling re rugari, but pretty odd that it’s taken a football journalist until the semi final to bother getting to an aus championship game

As for the rest of us its no surprise, beyond the thought of why that prick was actually let in! The welcome wouldve been very different at Lakeside for him thats for sure!

He can tick it off his bucket list now and go back to where he came from! Here's hoping he doesnt 'grace us' with his irrelevence at the final, (although would be a laugh to see that slimy tosser called out in chant or booed, in tandem.)

Olympic Village is not ideal. Far from it. The playing surface is quite good, but from a spectator amenity perspective, it’s quite poor.

This is a sign that Football Australia chose the cheapest option to host the event. But it also highlights the absence of boutique stadiums of high quality in Melbourne.

I have a feeling they also weighed it up on where they will get more bodies through the doors to be fair and that was always going to go in one direction as was proven!
I wouldve been happy if it was at the palace from an 'away days' perspective but there is some reasoning as to why it would be in Melb.

Final would be better off at Marconi Stadium than the dump they have chosen.

Why not Tarneit? 5k looks great there
