Quality A-league Pitches, if that is your real name(im sure its not),that rumor about the cap was in place for one week in wich they attracted death threats from the FFA, WTF’s from the rest of the A-league and 2600 spectators against fowler and the Fury.

James,
just what the doctor ordered an almighty home crowd 10k+… And the atmosphere from both sets of supporters was fantastic… The home end was packed in gold&blue, a lot of orange as well at the away end, but a fair number of new gold&blue with it—-a great result for the natives and I’m already looking forward to the next home ground fixture with my just recently bought new supporters kit… … well done all and the times are achangin’…

Sydney’s turn to host I guess. IT’s a pity as it appeared to be quite popular the last couple of years.

Lack of atmosphere may be one reason. Plus – its been widely reported that there’s a 5,000 person cap there. Why would you bother if the owner doesn’t even want his “own” team’s fans to turn up.

Just thinking, what’s stopping Roar fans from going to up the highway each week to see the Gold Coast too? It’s not too far, and they’re gonna be entertained.

Just over 10,000 at the Gold Coast game tonight – their biggest A-League crowd – but the majority of the crowd is in the orange of Brisbane.

They did everything wrong with the GCU, they didnt play games on the Gold Coast in the first couple a-league seasons to drum up support, Palmer with his antics turned people off, they didnt engage local communites and distanced themselves from the Titans who could have been a very good ‘friend’ plus things like dual-memberships would have been a winner for both

I hate to say it but i dont see gold coast lasting as a club there crowd numbers are terrable ths the fact. There isnenough football suporters in that area – AFL is about to open a new club there Tazzie or ACT is a better option i think the FFA are losing it in my opinion

Hopefully the TV scheduling issue can be rectified in the next round of negotiations. It would have been good to have a full Boxing Day football bonanza.

If Gc can’t pull at least 8,000 for Brisbane today then that’s poor

I am off to the GCU FC and Roar FC on the Gold Coast today at Skilled Stadium… This will be a greatly anticipated match between these two clubs, being the first in their history making derbies on the Coast for these two clubs with both at near to full strength… A battle for the minds and hearts of South East Queenslanders to be played out on the Gold Coast… I would have personally preferred a later kick-off time at 6:00pm but still I think a huge turn-out can be expected… This will be GCU’s best crowd of the season and one that should have been the opening first round for the ver 5 HAL season, but for a bad decision made by the FFA to take the fixture up to Suncorp… However, we on the Gold Coast at last can look forward to many more of these derbies in coming seasons… This is shaping up to be a very good contest between to form teams of late, with both coming off good wins… And as a side issue of Charlie Miller’s performance against his old mate Craig Moore… Who will win….? GCU by two..
