it's good to get a bit off attention in the off season but besides seb pasquali i don't think any a league teams has benefited from these matches 

A preview of the Leeds team.

haha it's on channel 7 somebody bring the sherrins 

It's a friendly though? Should they just play another NPL side instead? 

Dnt the clubs get sales tickets now as well? Plus it's good for local business and tourism. 

Shame Ikon and Castro are out. Less concerned about Keogh and Dino. Hope the scoreline is respectable.

pretty keen to see bruno play (holds back tears) 

Agreed, It’d be quite embarrassing for the Man U fans if we beat them by too much.

Haha yeh me too. Sorry for your loss. 

Interested to see what his fitness is like as well. Only concern was if he and Poppa were gonna gell well but i have full confidence in them both and just put that doubt down to Joyce. 

I'm hoping Spira, Lowry and Mcrella are all fit and ready. Will help keep it respectable. 

Been FA media about it in NSW from what I have seen...

i hear they've sold well under 10k for the wsw v leeds game. 

what were they thinking scheduling such a game?! totally reliant on leeds getting promoted and signing some stars. Yes many aussies have a soft spot for them due to the kewell+viduka era but no-opnes gonig to pay 40 bucks to see them as a championship side play the wanderers

Irdi do you know if there's any stream for the Bayswater friendly? 

I didn't even know these games where on until I came to this thread. Hope they get sum good crowds over there.

Not that im aware of, but the game is free to attend, sucks that our ffa cup game is at Dorien Gardens.

You're a total sucker if you pay anything more than a tenner for these games.

Pax is around 16k

Seriously, who cares?  Perth and WSW have just started training, and I know Perth are missing a large part of their first team.

Waste of time.

Around 80 -100 thousand people by the looks of the ticket maps in Perth.

Keep those Sherrins away

Yawn. 

Channel 7 are just going to butcher this like a Halal Pork Chop. FFS I'm a Leeds supporter and I'd probably rather watch Matt Preston & Co. with Masterchef than ch7 Football Coverage. 

Nice to see you back around the place Heine.

Any hype for these matches in Perth?

Manchester United arriving in Perth caused a big stir ...

https://www.mediastatements.wa.gov.au/Pages/McGowan/2019/07/Western-Australia-is-rolling-out-the-red-carpet-for-one-of-the-worlds-greatest-sporting-teams.aspx

It’s been all over the news since they arrived

Kinda peeved that they didn't say back Perth in purple...

About 12,000 fans have showed up in the training in Perth FOR UNITED.

How will Perth glory lineup?

so the 20/7 gws is playing at home at 4:30 then wsw vs leeds is at 7:00 pm a bit of codewars for anyone that cares 

Same in Victoria. 

I think it does illustrate the challenges that WA generally faces as most of the media outlets are largely east-coast centric, given that the vast majority of the population live in NAW, Vic and Qld.

If this was in Sydney or Melbourne, I am sure this would have been a bigger story.
