Semi final shenanigans

[Hello Sailor]

If any other group had shown solidarity with us when we lost it then they could expect it back. As it was the FFA set the task of the club back by decades. The FFA had the chance in 2008 to make football on the Coast the sport to watch and the event to go to. We have never recovered. No other group agreed that it should be on the Coast.,

I agree that we should have hosted that final, and it would have been nice to have had the support of the other clubs at the time. I guess the difference here is that this decision affects all clubs and more so those based a long way from Sydney]. SFC fans are boycotting despite a decision that benefits them more than those distant clubs

I will 100% boycott it on Adelaide’s behalf if they make it through instead of us ?

You could say that it was the apathy shown by ALL the other clubs to that decision which paved the way for the GF being sold off now. It's a long bow and it's kind of like the Kennedy magic bullet in-between then and now but it's still valid.
Maybe the only difference is the maturity of our supporter groups at the 2 different times. 2008 was probably too early in the league's history to have an organised movement against decisions affecting fans.
Still, we were wronged, and no one (not even us) decided to be outraged by it sufficiently enough for this type of action. And we were wronged more than this decision f**ks over any club.

So you won't be at the game on 20th?

And you won't attend the GF when we make it through?

I doubt there's a single other CCM fan that will take that position.

That's not what he said or what the Cove did.
Most were there just not providing active support that Danny craves for his promo shots

 

[Ancient Mariner]

I understand that the boycott is about active support rather than boycotting the game. The discussions seem to be unclear with some choosing to boycott the matches.
The message from Sydney seems to be, do either but please keep the Cove section empty.

Yes, seems that way. I've heard no mention of our active intending to do either?

No, I wont be. What others do is a matter for them. You can still be a fan and not attend-you can even watch it on TV.

Solidarity Reg!

As you say each to their own, if you feel it would make you a scab to attend then I guess it's the right decision for you. I certainly won't feel tarred with that brush if i go to the game.

Wild horses couldn't stop me from attending after all those bleak years and getting stiffed on our home final.

 

[pjennings]

To be fair most of the Cove are attending - just not sitting in the Cove.

Anybody else having trouble getting tickets for Adelaide away, I never got the members email.

That's about as out of harms way as we could hope for.

 

[Hello Sailor]

Solidarity Reg!

Out Brothers out lol. I'm not sure whether this should be on the "What are you listening to " thread.

 

[sydmariner]

Have you checked your PM's recently

@Corsair the password doesn’t seem to work.

Back when Unions were useful. Great song and a great video.

I admire your stance but you must be a new fan (i.e last 10 years) or have rocks in your head.

Should be general public by now, no password required?

it is but general public can’t buy away bay tickets

 

[sydmariner]

What time did you try? You might have missed it. I'd give the club a buzz. I'll PM you again.

All done.

Weren't many of the $50 tickets left when I got mine at midday.
