I attended the Sydney Sixers versus Brisbane Heat Big Bash League match on Friday night, so I am going to throw my two cents…
Many people criticise Sydney attendance. It is often stated: how can a city of 4.5 million only get 15,000-odd people to games. After living…
I don’t know about the rest of The Roar readers but the continual code warring has me bored out of my skull. Of course…
It was the end of AFL and the end of NRL, and we were faced with the stark reality of the off season. What…
Im going to give it a go ill be at the SCG to see the sixers play. I’ll keep an open mind and see if I am suitably entertained to return. As to who to support it is simple for me in the end. I was actually going to support thunder because green is a hell of alot better than magenta. but then I realised they play at ANZ and sixers play at SCG. So it is sixers for me purely because it is alot easier for me to get to SCG then ANZ, I just wish they werent magenta! and yes I agree the names are very ordinary. as are the strips.
What do you say: should I give this BBL a bash?
They should sign both Davis and Fevola and grab 2 mill ha ha, sounds good to me, cant be worse than last season regardless.
Port Power right to ignore sponsor's Davis-Fevola deal
no you are right same guy.
Western Sydney to Sydney: Shift in approach for A-League

Western Sydney to Sydney: Shift in approach for A-League
definately I think the move to october start, signing emerton, the members campaign and the we are football campaign is paying off, hopefully we can keep it up and move towards 15000 that would be really good.
Although the move to kogarah this weekend may hurt attendance and the cambelltown game on a wednesday night(not sure if this is counted as a home game).
Western Sydney to Sydney: Shift in approach for A-League
Sydney FC have only played three home games so 13 596 for them,
and newcastle have played 4 so 13111.
unless my maths totally sucks, which is a possibility but it is the same as this site

Western Sydney to Sydney: Shift in approach for A-League
Sydney FC and Newcastle are averaging over 12K also, but yes I see your point.
Western Sydney to Sydney: Shift in approach for A-League
Antoine Xats, you are obviously extremely passionate about Sydney Olympic Football Club and their is nothing wrong with that.
Three questions because I am curious:
1. If Sydney United or Marconi were put into the a-league comp, could you support them and attend games?
2. If a new team was entered into the a-league to represent western sydney could you support them and attend games?
3. Or will you only ever support Sydney Olympic Football Club and no others and is that how all Sydney Olympic Football Club fans feel?
Other Sydney Olympic Football Club fans please feel free to answer also.

disappointing loss. With Brisbane Roar this weekend really cant afford soft defence.
Soft defensive errors cost Sydney: Lavicka

Also alot of sport have evolved from football and Rugby so his view is flawed. I guess he must follow baseball or something.
Brisbane Roar's unbeaten run is the best of all the codes
I see thanks, kewell must be earning a fair bit of coin to be able to pay his own trainer, do we know what the contract with Victory was? how much and how long?
Victory's Kewell gets his own coach
So is victory paying Balbo’s salary or is Kewell paying for it himself? I have never heard of this situation before is it more common in football for some players to nominate their own trainer?

If its coming to Aus they should put it before NRL games that would improve the attendance. Also it would be the only way I could watch it, Telling the missus im going to the rugby is easier than telling her Im going to watch girls play NFL in lingerie haha.
Lingerie football: Girls just wanna have fun
With the risk of getting bagged out by everyone, If you are missing sport in the off-season give A-league a go, go watch a game Im havin a great time going to games, I took three more mates with me on sat night they are all keen to go to the next one. We are all AFL fans and are getting our live sport fix via HAL.
Passionate AFL fans live for the game
or even just a ploy to get a GWS v Coll rivalry going, imagine if some of the massive collingwood members travelled to sydney everytime they played, would help fill the stadium.

Thanks for the invite Steve,
Im not sure we are ready for the cove just yet I would be exhausted after the first 5mins. We are similar in that I come from WA and my mate from Vic, so I guess we should have supported glory and Victory but we figured we live in Sydney now and its here we are starting our interest in HAL. Plus as you say more games to watch.

Thanks Griffo,
The others are coming around to the idea they had to put up with us talking about how good the last game was so I think it has peaked their interest, we have one definate coming along to a game and another will be easy to drag along.

Thanks,
Not alot of prior knowledge when i was very young I played soccer but I can barely remember, I have watched some games of the last couple of world cups, most of my limited knowledge is from FIFA 11 great game haha, so yea pretty much none. I have no idea about the Europe Leagues their structure or how they operate.
As for players not as yet, I get frustrated watching Carle seems very unpredictable in the two home games I saw, some shots at goal are fantastic some rather ordinary or some not even getting of the boot. But thats prob my lack of knowledge. I am interested to see how Emerton goes I expected big things. We took a shine to Hiro Moriyasu we had to look up his name in the break, as we thought it was rather inappropriate to keep yelling out “go little asian guy” we thought he was playing well but he didnt get on in the second half so maybe we were wrong.

Thanks,
I think you are right, I did have a poor perception of Football, largely because of the media showing riots overseas and opposing fans punching on and such. And of course being brought up on another code tends to make u bias. But yes everyone should attend a game with an openmind and try and form their own opinion. If they dont like it fine, but they shouldnt make unjustified statements/opinions until they have the experience to back it up, IMO.

No suprise really,
I wonder if they are going head to head in Canberra at the same time slot, that will be an interesting one. I hope they dont I was looking forward to a Canberra visit for a weekend of sport GWS and Raiders. That would be a good little weekend away.
NRL won't give AFL a free-kick in western Sydney
Ha ha, yes unfortunately you are right, the website says magenta but lets face it, its fricken Pink! not sure if i can go around wearing a pink Hat/tshirt. maybe I can find some supporting apparel more suttle, maybe a stubby holder. yes surely I can get away with a magenta stubby holder. Haha.
What do you say: should I give this BBL a bash?
