Next time (I know, big IF), maybe we could try to co-ordinate with the Australian stadium management (much like the YF have done with WestPac)
Good luck with that.
We got off lightly, Les dog in the Socceroos end was warned by security for starting chants.
I don't think a stadium admin can actually say "this area is standing" for insurance reasons but they could turn a blind eye.
I had the sh*ts last night a little bit as I returned to my hotel but this morning after check out, wandering around inner city Melbourne looking for a cafe for brekky, I felt great wearing my scarf & All White On The Night shirt & couldn't help the feeling when I came across other people in the street wearing Socceroo gear they looked down or away so as not to make eye contact.
Yeah, I got that (the looks away, not the s*its). A stark contrast to the amused and condescending smiles I got on the tram on the way to the game.
Crossing the road in central Melbourne the next day I spot this bald guy walking towards me, eyeing up my supporters scarf and beaming really widely. It's only after he had passed that I realised it was John Clarke!
