Just back from hols, great time on the beach or sitting in the tent wondering when rain was going to stop, and the wind stop blowing.
To keep the peace on the home front had to stay way from a computer for 3 and a half weeks.
Been interesting while way big crowds, lost the top of the table stop.
From the away perspective and just watching the games from a very noisy pub with most not interested in the match and no sound apart from the music screen blasting out above the roar of a packed pub. To me the mid field did not support the backs in terms of getting back and in position to help, and both the backs and mids kept giving away cheap ball.
Anyway to my straw poll in Hal Ver 1, at Bryon Bay the A-League was not shown by the clubs and pubs and apart from me in the caravan park no one followed the A-League, Hal Ver 2 you could ask the pub and the A-league would be shown and maybe US Basketball would be taken off, a number of people in the caravan park acknowledged the A-league. Hal 3 all games broadcast and with some watching, back at the caravan park most now had an A-league team they still supported NRL or AFL but most had an A-League team.
Interesting comment from my sister, who I took along with her family to the Sydney match(her first match), so impressed she told the friends in her street and on the new years even match a new family went to the match. The last match against the scum so impressed my sister plus the friend that went to the Melbourne match took along another family to the Scum match.
Great so far sunshine lollie pops and sugar coated lemon drops, not my sister but the other two families stopped at the Caltex on their way back to Summerland Point after the match. At the Caltex were a large number of Jets supporters and some Mariner supporters.
They started having a go at each other, big deal and with enough beer and bravado it must have been fun, no one got hurt and we showed em. Ever think that in a public place like that there maybe little people under 10 who were scared by the whole face off, and a couple of nervous mums. So much so that they enjoyed the match but are two scared to go some where after the match.
Perhaps this is a one off, but I think not, so again a plea from someone who has been waiting for years for a league to get going, go easy outside the park. This league could easily fall over its still in its early developmental years. Having a face off in a public place will in time if not already be on youtube and find its way in time to the media mafia. Those three young families from Summerland Point are still talking about how scared they were, and I ask yourself before some of the more hotheads scorn this post to remember when they were a little boy (maybe still are) and how their behavior would have looked.
Hope we beat Nix,s 50 nill to ensure our Asian spot.
