Prelim Final Adelaide V Newcastle

[Dutchy]

Man what a game and atmoshpere...was sitting 3 rows behing the United bench...great scenes throughout the game, esp at the end...Beltrame saved a couple of rippers in normal time and deserved to be the match winner, Costanzo brilliant and is Bruce the next superstar of Aussie soccer? I think yes

The atmoshpere was better than any sporting event Ive been at since I dont know when....

Only ones that would come close ....SOO at footy park, Adelaide Test last year final day

Best team got the best result, I worry about their fitness for next week though

[Dogwatcher]

Well done United!
Problem is they jsut seem to relax when things look in control. Can't do that next week - specially with their heavier legs..

got my tickets, flights and accommodation!!! Just wondering does anyone know approx how many adelaide supporters will be makin the trip ova? how many tickets did they release to adelaide fans?

[SANFLsponge]

The paper today said that there were 4000 tickets available for the allocated away sopporters area.

[Sam_goUUUdogs]

ok we have 4000 tickets reserved for us, in the 12 or so bays directly behind the Northern Goal (Lockett End)
we have approx 3 days to snap up as many as possible and from there they will just be put onto sale to the general public.
of those that are not sold and then go to Victory supporters, its likely the fans will be separated at the North regardless of Alocated seat, Victory to North West, Adelaide to North East, but as close to Bay 27 as possible is where people should be looking to buy their tickets.
The estimate is we will have atleast 1500 traveling over, possibly 3500+ though.
The Celtic Club is the place to be before the match, Cnr of LaTrobe and Queen Street.

also the lines for tickets this morning were bigger than that of the PF and SF, i saw 100 tickets get sold before i got mine to supporters i had never seen at an away game before, get the feeling this might be a game where every person that can get there will.
might be suprised and we fill the majority of the bays.

Does anyone know what Kosi said to the ref???
If my lip reading is close, I reckon he said (allegedly) "Nice try you f**king cheater" or something to that effect?

[Sam_goUUUdogs]

Kossie said he just said, well done good game. doubt it somehow.

[MW]

yeah i heard that too
I think he'll be sitting next to Matthew Kemp in the stands during the GF

[Sam_goUUUdogs]

tbh no great loss, its really just like what the coaches do in afl, he just communicates to the bench witha phone.
also has a 2 game suspended sentence over him.

[matt]

tres exciting.

c'mon you reds!

not going over but a few cool ales on a 40 degree afternoon in the a/c pub will be pleasant!

2-1 Adelaide after ET

A sellout inside 2 hours today, awesome effort, could have been held at the 'G'!

yep, would have got 90,000+ im sure, i think the cricket pitch was the main issue in the end with moving it there.

The fact there's a 20/20 match there on Sunday afternoon might have had something to do with it too.

Bit hot for outside like last Sunday, probably inside.
Don't know about wearing one of my Roosters Tops, a few of those rioters or bottle throwers that follow AU might get upset with the back of my Tshirt that says "C-mon U Reds - NAFC - Innovators not Imitators!"
