Beyond lame it was but thats also my point, when youve lost engagement then it all looks like gimmicks unfortunately.

The dude that sung both national anthems at the start of the match sounded like he was from one of those 1920s news reals and the 6 people that clapped did so to be polite...

you get what you pay for, shouldve hired Maroulis... Argyro refused to sing anywhere that wasnt lakeside so they had to settle.🤣

The two poor kiddies in $2 shop Gladiator costumes? WTF, were they supposed to be ancient Spartans or something?
Click to expand...
My only takeaway other than the historical innacuracy is that the kids atleast seemed to enjoy it.. athens rome same same. Σπαρτιατορωμαιοι αυτοί, φοβήθηκαν μην φάνε καμία μήνυση από την α α λεξανδρα, και άφησαν το Μεγα στο σπίτι;; 🤣

3-4 of the Olympic boys came into the pub to have a drink before the game and despite the bravado they didnt seem connected to their club much.

TBF, 3/4 of the blowins at opening night at Lakeside were probably in the same boat... Most were still asking if Trimboli and Boutsianis still played for Hellas...

From what I could see on tv, the guys who went to Melbourne in round 1 would probably be the equivalent of you blokes, they’re the ones who are there week in week out no matter what. Those guys that I saw at the game on the weekend are only there for the big games

Can we hit 2,000 on Saturday with 10-20mm rain expected?
Click to expand...
Maybe we should pay the internet sensations from Suited and Boutsed $1500 per post to drum up business for us? hahaha

Who cares what the crowd is at this stage, 3 points is the aim. I would hazard a guess that FA have already created their list of grievances for this tournament progressing past next year.
 
I wanted us to have the highest group stage attendance lol. Preston will finished ahead. Then again we are hosting the quarters so we will have the highest overall.

come on, Marconi got over 2k in a thunderstorm and with an indefinitely delayed kick off, south can too ;)

Problem is the Melbourne A league derby is on a few hours later as well so we will probably lose a lot of neutrals.

Then again not sure if Preston supporters will turn up to support Broadmeadow, i doubt it.

It will probably look ok on tv as everyone packs under the covered rows.

Just figure out what actual "attendance" we need for Saturday is and ask FA to fudge the numbers like they have done for every single one of these games... I mean Im sure they are going to anyway as they steer the narrative in the direction they want, as they will the allocation of the semis and final. Its ALL bullshit, who cares... its whats on the pitch that counts.

Our full marketing focus should already be on the qf.... Obviously this will need half the work if its Preston.

Zero trust in FA from before, havnt done anything to change that perception.

Its all just dumb, all 4 VIC teams play in Melbourne (Preston and eggs on toast at the same time) this weekend... and last week nothing.... This thing is drawing whatever meagre crowds it is drawing DESPITE the FA not because of them.
