A-League thread

[Ramps]

we are back on track after a "momentous" 1-0 away win vs Malta. Turkey is 6 points infront of 3rd Place and Greece is 5 points in front of 3rd. The top 2 from each group qualifies so both nations are nearly there.

The A-league fixture is out today and the Victory have deserted Olympic Park for good and will play all their home games at the Dome. Leaves any new stadium solely to a 2nd Melbourne team during the summer soccer season.

Good to hear Danny Allsop made the Socceroo squad against Uruguay along with Archie.

The Victory and the State government have finally agreed on a 31,000 new rectangular stadium.

Yeah construction will start in July.

I cannot believe they way the Victory have dragged this out. Although I agrre in principle the original plan of a 20K seat stadium was too small this should have been sorted out months ago.

Yes they had big crowd this season but that was because they were winning, go back 12 months and their crowds were average because they weren't winning. IMHO and I aint no soccer expert but I reckon if their form drops off and they stop winning they will not be able to fill the Dome and they are going to need this smaller stadium.

For Sydney FC, Adelaide Utd and the finals the Victory sold out the Dome but for the rest  of the games they got around 28-30k to each game there. So 31k sounds about right. Even if they have a shocking year down the track or the novelty factor wears off, the new stadium shouldn't become a white elephant. At 20-25k it would have been.

Hey Ramps, I see the Victory are playing your beloved South Melbourne tomorrow night at Bob Jane stadium.

Covering their risk Ramps. Like the bloke who was refused in putting 25k on Judd going to the Dees and was limited by the bookie to 2k instead. The bookie must be spewing now that rumour was false.

It looked like being a draw too until Allsopp got the late winner.

Speaking of betting, I bet Craig Foster will have a massive sook on SBS tomorrow because his beloved Bling are crap .
