I dont think i'll make either.
i've decided friendlys are too cruel.
i wonder if they'll play coyne on wednesday?
and if so it will be an interesting test for the team.

Seems we have got the other HAL clubs running scared.

For those interested, although it shouldn't affect us die-hards, the weather is clear and sunny for the majority of tomorrow, right up until the evening, and there's a 30% chance of getting some drizzle later in the night - which means that this time, weather can't be used as an excuse not to go!

I think it's worse for wednesday. Friday was showers, then clearing in the evening and wednesday is the opposite - fine, then evening showers.

If people base their decision on what the sky looks like during the day we'll be fine, but if they look at the weather forecast it's worse.

I don't mean to keep boring you guys with weather details for the game tomorrow, but if it gets even just 1 more person there, then I'm happy to say it: I've checked nearly every website that has Perth's weather forecast, and they all seem to agree that we will not experience any rain until after the Glory game - around 11pm to be specific. If it does rain during the game, which is extremely unlikely, it will simply be a drizzle, so even less 'rain' than we got during Friday night's game. So please, tell everyone you know that they should not stay away from the game tomorrow night because of the weather - we need every single person possible to come to the game, support the Glory, and support our push for a new, or upgraded, rectangular stadium.

lol cheers Mr. Newman ... your work is appreciated haha :lol:

Wow which website gives you that sort of detail. ie rain after 11pm tomorrow.

The 4 day forecast on the BOM site has the cold front hitting Perth around 10pm.

If no pre frontal rain, we'll just get gusty NE/NW winds prior to the front with a warmish evening which will wip around to the W/SW and with it the rain.

I just hope it holds off until after the game.

Once the sky gets dark who knows what's up there if you can't see it???

Btw guys, just heard on Let's Talk Football podcast, Tood Howarth has definitely been offered a contract (1-year I think) and is expected to sign by the end of the week. I don't know if this has been announced or anything yet, but at least this shows it's confirmed. That would take our roster to 22 players, with one VISA spot left, but I would imagine that this will be the end of our signings for this season. We surely could not have a cent left.

Todd Howarth has signed .....

just hasnt been made official yet by the club

Yeah, it's pretty much one of the worst-kept secrets in a while - why do the Glory always take so long to announce their signings? It seems ever since the Kevin Phillips debacle, the Glory have been treading very, very carefully with signings etc.

PERTH Glory coach Dave Mitchell has instructed his side to watch-and-learn against visiting English Premier League team Fulham on Wednesday night.
After pushing Wolverhampton all the way last week, the Glory will be looking for a repeat performance against Fulham.

The Glory had their chances in a 1-0 loss to Wolves on Friday night in a match Perth coach Dave Mitchell said provided his team with a valuable learning experience.

Mark Schwarzer's Fulham will provide Glory with a sterner test but Mitchell has told his charges to enjoy the match rather than worrying about the result.

"The result doesn't matter, it's a pre-season friendly," Mitchell said.

"It's more about us getting our shape and being organised and repelling Fulham, and having a go at the correct time.

"Enjoy the game and enjoy the experience.

"The shape is what we are looking at and enjoying the game, because it's not often you play quality opposition and by watching them you'll learn.

"They're a good side and we like to learn off these teams.

"We learnt things off Wolves and what they do and we'll pick up more things off Fulham.

"Fulham are a really good side and they had a good result (winning 3-0) against Melbourne.

"They're preparing seriously for the game and it will be a good test for us.

"But you want to do well. The performance is what I'm after, not the result."

Former Bundesliga striker Branko Jelic is expected to make his debut for Perth Glory in a 30-minute cameo performance off the bench.

But Socceroos defender Chris Coyne, who only arrived in Perth from England on Sunday, will miss the game due to lack of preparation.

Striker Eugene Dadi and defender Jimmy Downey are also expected to miss through injury.

The match will mark Fulham's final pre-season game of their tour of Australia, following a 2-1 loss to Gold Coast and the 3-0 win over Melbourne.
