Pre-Season Cup Final

Pre-Season Cup Final

Hi all,

Yes,that is the case. C'mon Nix!

It hadn't appeared on any media releases until this evening, Francis.

No, it'll be at the

RING OF FIRE

any one got more details???

From the Phoenix site, the little upcoming matches box thing says 7:30, so I'm guessing a 7:30 kickoff.

It says 7pm in the match report on stuff

Great win!

Hmm - I also wonder if the red card for Andrew Durante will be in effect for the final?

I've assumed 1930 for my Countdown Timer. But can be changed easily once more information is released...

Almost positive the red for Durante will see him miss the final, but he should be back for August 17, unless the red was for something which earns more than a one-match suspension.

any where to get footage of last nights game?

i've been away and just found out about this now - omgomgomgomg awesomeness!

Whats the story with suspensions? Did durante just get 1 match for the red card or was it violent conduct meaning 2 or more?
And is mckain out too?

any other injury/fitness news

Thanks lads here's me building up credits with her in doors for the coming season,and already im in the shyte after having to say im otherwise engaged wednesday nite.
 

Great win last night! It's amazing how much support we have from supporters in other team's forums (at least, in the Mariners and Newcastle forums). Pretty much all of them seem to love the fact that we beat Sydney and a lot of them are cheering us on to win in the final.

No one likes sydney thats why

Awesome stuff. a bit disappointed the game's on a wednesday though. We probably won't draw as big a crowd as in the weekend.

Theres only oooooone Baranowski
Oooooone Baranowski
Walking along
Singing a song
Walking in an Eddie wonderland.....

(already posted but we gotta sing it....he's made a HUGE difference already!!)

Bencher from 4pm on Weds......lets get it on!!!

must be ready for a run out by now otherwise hell never get match fit, he has gotta be front runner for that RB slot, whats the situation with brown will he get a run in midfield or others preferred ahead of him

Has he been in full training for long, if at all? I don't think we'll see Tim until a few weeks into the season, we've got enough quality to let him really get fit and strong again, no need to risk it.

Mully would have tried to keep himself as fit as possible while off-contract so we will see him earlier, possibly even in the final.

edit - just tidying up the topic - i'll pm you CLtigers2008-08-03 13:15:19

If I can convince (and by convince I mean bully) the parents into letting me fly up to the game do you think it'd be worth it?  Being pre-season would there be a decent crowd even though it's a final?

My personal opinion is that the atmosphere is better when there's a smaller crowd because the noise travels and also, if there's not that many in the FZ theres more often one consistent chant that gets out.

EDIT: Exception being the Adelaide and LA games last year, I guess theres just a point where there's too many people for an intimate atmosphere but not enough for a huge, pulsing one.

1st thing to ask when I get to work tomorrow...can I swap my wed shift from night to day

that's right, but I hope a 7:30 will draw a few people, most have finished work by then.

What was the attendance for the round 1 game? Could we expect double that in attendance?

Just short of 5,000. I'm expecting between 4,000 and 5,000.
