Very Cheap

PAX as of 9.10am - Monday October 17th (FFA Cup semi final - Melbourne Victory v Melbourne City): 486 sold

MVFC North End active - Section 38
MVFC South End active - Section 37 & 39
Melbourne City active - section 16, 17, 18 (usually MVFC South End active area)
Melbourne City non active - 12, 13, 14, 15, 19, 20, 21

its a repeat of the 2015 A-League Semi Final seating map at Etihad Stadium fucking disgraceful yet again for a derby semi final ffs by shafting MVFC South End active members to North End what a joke this is coming from a South End active member.

Isn't this nominally a City home game?

No.

Then it isn't officially a victory home game?

its a Melbourne Victory home derby game as Victory were first team drawn of the hat for the semi final.

One area where the Sydney derby is better is having a roughly 50:50 mix of fans. It's important for some victory fans to believe that City doesn't have any supporters but the problem for Heart/City has been the churn of fans over the years (for obvious reasons), it hasn't had much difficulty attracting supporters in the first place. The support is there, it's always been a question of persuading people to come to games and then playing attractive CONSISTENT football to get them to return. Allocating equal seating space is an important step in this process, it'll grow the game and improve the spectacle and that can only help both teams as well as the League as a whole. I think that victory does a disservice to the game as a whole by only offering the normal 'away bay' at Etihad to City supporters, imagine of City did the same and only offered the regular AAMI Park away bay to NT at City hosted derbies, it would reduce the spectacle and the match day experience?

Phwoar if Sydney and City make up the finalists and they keep they're rich vein of form going we could see an absolute cracker.

Giving City the South end is utterly pathetic, we are the home team and should be locking them out. We should have given them one bay in a fekn corner.

Last time that the FFA tried to do exactly what you proposed in a final it led to a situation where there wasn't sufficient space for all of Victory's active support on level 1, so they went up to level 3 as active support and bottles/chairs rained down on City fans on level 2 beneath them (yes, I know that people shouldn't do that dumb shit, but when you're organising security at a venue you should be focusing on reducing the opportunity for things like this to happen).

Public safety trumps 'spectacle'. When there's a good reason for changing arrangements (i.e. City have enough active supporters that the current away bay isn't sufficient to hold them) they can look into changing them, but not before.

They are bigger than you now, suck it up sook. 

Ok, I know the whole "put club pettyness aside" thing is hard for you but for just one second look at how right MT is. What if the Cove took up the full non RBB end at pirtek? Your reaction would be similar. 

At least you're playing in the FFA Cup.

Game day sluts.I feel as if the magic is lost if teams aren't playing in their local but eh. Dick em Olympic.

Should know by now I only post to stir shit up ;)

You got me brah with dat gif, i'm triggered now.

Can you make sure the barrel is in your mouth next time?

and the anchor is strapped to his ankle.

Lets meet up for some beers next game kents. 

decent looking crowd just hoping for a decent game and not a complete whitewash

Hoping for a cup set, but it is highly unlikely. 

yeh same i reckon olympic will die out after the 50th min no competitive football for 3 weeks etc etc

Agreed, but hopefully they can hang on long enough to get Sydney Fc frustrated and maybe make a mistake.
