Roarcelona vs Nix Wed 26 Jan 8pm

yeah, Brisbane haven't though for the past two seasons. I would have thought it would have been appropriate for us to have them twice at home. But its difficult to make the draw you you've got to givew them grace. Since everyone has the same number of home matches now, it would be unfair for Brisbane Members to have a home match taken out, so fair enough in that regard.

"It's understood the main options include finding another Queensland venue to hold the match, moving it to Wellington or calling it off and splitting the points."

Thoughts on the latter?

what? 1.5 points each? (i'm not clicking into a Stuff.co.nz link - ever) mikecj2011-01-13 09:23:07

Maybe play the game somewhere neutral. Play it at Bluetounge stadium. Closest to a home match for the Roar atm, as they only played there last night.

if it's cancelled we should play a flood relief game against the Phoenix 'A' + friends or something in welly somewhere...and tell everyone to turn up!

Most of the 'A' squad and 'others' will be playing NZFC this weekend though.

I thought this had already been postponed to Australia day?

It has.

WOWWWW.


Poor Brisbane..

The Phoenix have suggested that this is not ideal for them and that perhaps the FFA might like to take in to consideration the opinions of both sides involved.

Good.

dam right, 3 days after we beat Perth at home.
Not fair AT ALL. It's like, they travel one day and the game is the next day. We'd stand no chance.

Well done nix standing up for ourselves for once.

Your inbox is full now Top Left

I'd say it's like this.

5% Westpac
10% Suncorp
50% Ballymore
45% other Aus stadium

I think you are 110 % correct HN 

My money is on Skilled Park. FFA twitter says decisions on abandoned games will be made January 17.

As an aside it is good to see the league and Australian football get right behind fundraising efforts for the Premier's flood relief appeal. Cahill is auctioning a shirt as well as an Everton package, CCM's Yellow Army had a good collection at Wednesday night's Roar game and the FFA have chucked in $100,000 for the appeal. Very good to see.

Any ideas for Yellow Fever initiatives perhaps?

    

Play it at westpac try get westpac stadium to lower the hire fee aka make it free, then bang, Free entry but donation on entry required.

Make it like, a gold coin donation, or else cheap bastards will pay just 10 cents to get in.

according to the pre game show for the furries vs smeltz match

it has been resecheduled to skilled park on the 26th... aparantly ffa aproved this evening

If that is the case, I hope Ricki blasts FFA in the media.

Why?

He said in the Friday Sport section of the paper that having to go to Oz between the two home games will not help us make the playoffs at all.

45% came in.  I wasn't that far off.

LOL Crowds going to be small.

Australia Day on the Gold Coast may be a nice break away for many...

I told a gold coast guy from the beach who I follow on twitter that he and his mates should go and support us, considering they need the roar to lose.

I think it's time you just moved there mate

haha, I liked the Gold Coast as a place, the people were ok, but when it comes to supporting the nix its Phoenix way before anyone else.*











*gold coast are second tho. CboZ2011-01-15 13:17:00

You don't have to give up the Nix... and nor should you!
