You claimed in the FFA Cup thread that Wollongong Wolves' home game to Sydney won't pull a big crowd because SFC fans simply won't travel down there for a midweek fixture. I issued a challenge that has been lost in the posts, so I'd like to put it here.

I, Sir Draups, challenge you, vincenzogold to a shoe eating challenge.

The rules are as follows;

> If Wollongong* pulls a crowd of 7999 or less, I must eat a shoe.
> If Wollongong* pulls a crowd of 8000 or more, you must eat a shoe.
> The shoe eater must record themselves preparing and eating the shoe, either privately or publically listed on YouTube, and must post it to the forum within one week of full time of the Wollongong Wolves vs Sydney FC Westfield FFA Cup Match.

Definition of shoe for the purpose of the competition:

> The shoe must be leather based, preferably tanned with vegetable tanner
> The shoe must cover the entire foot at a minimum. As such, thongs/flip flops/jandals are not counted.
> The shoe may be eaten cooked or raw
> The shoe may be seasoned with any number of ingredients or accompanied by sides
> The shoe must make up a total of 80% weight of the meal
> The shoe must be completely consumed, save for inedible bits such as plastic and metal
> The shoe must be adult men's size 7 or larger

If you are a vegan/vegetarian, the following rules apply as vege friendly shoes might be difficult to source:

> You must eat a mens size 12 or bigger 100% cotton shirt. Preferably a football jersey.


*Wollongong refers to the venue and all attendees and is not limited to home fans.

so standard shoe eating regulations then...

Are there vegetarian shoe options ?

Good point mate. I will update the rules.

Probably Vincenzos regular diet.

Did literally LOL at this.

What about Vegan, and Gluten Free options?

With you there pal :lol:

Go home your drunk.

It shouldn't depend on the crowd size it should depend on traveling fans size.

Which i still think you won't get more then 2000 people

See............Size doesn't matter,

It's how big it is that counts

I didn't pull 8000 from no where. That figure actually is fairly on your side.

As shown by this article, the Wolves tripled their crowd sizes to an average 800 less than two years ago. Yes, 800. It also shows that the crowd against the CC Mariners for an FFA Cup match attracted 7000 (non-paying) customers.

In the first ever A League match held there, between Sydney and Newcastle, there was a crowd of over 11k as shown by this article.

I think I've been more than fair with the 8k figure. It's 7200 more people than their regular average home crowd and is a mid-week match.

Do you accept?

If you have other suggestions, say them. Let's do this shit and stop being a coward.

Is there a halal shoe option?

Halal is only in relation to the slaughtering of animals, so the cotton shirt vege opinion doubles as halal/kosher.

Excellent.

Just wanted to make sure SocaWho was being catered for.

Awaiting a response to the challenge.

I'm 75% confident I'll head down to this so only 7,999 to go

Make it 7998

Make it 7997, eating a shoe eh ? good fecking luck to either of you - hate the thought what that feeling would be like once it needs to get out !

7,996. About the amount of beers I'll have during the day. :lol:

Challenge still stands.

Where are you Vinnie mate? Don't be a coward.

7996 i cant go

Vinnie, where are you?

Where will you find a cotton football shirt?

Vinnies. Sweat stains and all.

Vinnie, don't be a coward.

What's the bet if the crowd is below the figure he'll come in here and want me to do it anyway.
