I know people want something new and special but for me as long as he brings sucess we get top 4 finish each season champions league and a few grand final and win appreances who can you be to complain about that lol

Short answer? Nothing :lol:

Assuming you guys finally get 2 home games against Melbourne where should those matches be played?

Hindmarsh. where else would they be played? Adelaide Oval not only sucks for football but is a construction zone from now until 2014.

moot point, we'll get screwed again and have to play the tards away twice. 100% guaranteed.

Fair enough

;)

Give the man a mandolin!

The beard is so awesome, I hope he just lets it grow until it reaches completely epic proportions

Love it :d

If anyone else was still interested in that picture I was looking for. This was the best I could find:

My PAX for the game is over 2000, so not a bad start when I purchased them at around 1pm today. In the grandstand in bay WL24, the woman didn't understand where I wanted to sit but this is OK - we will just move to a better spot if here is room :D

cant get mine until Thursday have to choose either the crows or united game to go to cant afford both. United all the way cant wait.

Can't remember my season ticket number, and can't use my membership number. Sucks to be me. Won't be able to get my ticket until Wednesday when I get back to Adelaide.

Anyone know how much we've got so far in terms of prize money?

4 x $40,000 (for group stage wins)
1 x $20,000 (for group stage draws)
3 x $30,000 (for travel subsidy)
1 x $50,000 (for round of 16 participation)

= $320,000 so far

There would be some expenses as well. From what I've heard it's only profitable if you get out of your group.

Wasn't there an article by Val about the $30k subsidy not being enough or barely covering the travel cost?

Flights for each player is about $1,500. Then you have club officials, medical staff, etc. With a travelling party of about 25, you're definitely going to go over the subsidy.

The thing to remember is that the hosting club must fork out to pay for the visiting team's 5-star accomm, transfers, catering etc. Host club must also pay for match officials too.

That is why you won't make any money in the ACL unless you make the knockout stages.

We will be close to breaking even off of the prize money up til now, if (once!) we get past the R16 we will actually start to make a profit since we no longer have to give away most of the money to the teams who were unable to either compete or actually be successful.

I have selfish reasons to hope for it not to sellout before gameday. My wife is 38 weeks pregnant and the baby theoretically could come any day. Don't want to buy a ticket if I can't go!

TWG did a real half arsed job with the ACL tonight. They showed about 2 minutes for all three of the teams and that was it. They didn't even discuss it it was only the highlights.

TWG fuck us over all the time so I'm not surprised. We're not Melbourne Victory, Sydney FC or Brisbane Roar so we don't get their attention.

It's not The World Game, it's The FFA/EPL Game.

Come on guys that had that really really really important interview with tony popovic and west Sydney Lols, see how much their excitement levels went up.

They did say they will have a preview next week.


Btw didn't know Francis was back on twg

I'm not getting my hopes up that it will be in any way in depth. Hopefully they'll at least resist the temptation to deride the game plan.

They didn't just fucked you over they fucked everyone over. They didn't even go back to the panel to discuss any of the games. WTF. In a perfect world they would of gone over Brisbane and CCM talked about the game and then tell us how they could improve in the future. Then they should talk about the reds whats going right, etc. and build up their next game.

What pisses me off about it is that they have queried why now one gives a fuck about the AFCCL and goes to the games - well when the peak FTA football show gives it two bits of fuck all then why should the rest of the footballing public.

+1

+2. Some times I wonder why I watch it still. I have no respect for Fozz ever since he let Palmer on the show with his rehearsed notes and sat their and didn't have the balls to ask him anything while his was dribbling shit, but then suddenly grew a spine to have a crack at Ben.

I actually quite enjoyed Clive's appearance - he did make for good TV!

Sounded way to rehearsed to me and maby that is why Fozz never spoke up

i think Clive would of got his management to say ok go ask sbs what questions they want to ask me then come back. Got his answers ready and came on the show.
