The Run Home

[flavze]

fkn hell, Water Polo will be the only sport getting played in Qld for the next few months tbh!

[Steelinho]

If indeed we do win the games we need to get a home GF where would it be, Adelaide Oval or Aami Stadium?

Hindmarsh Stadium.

Hindmarsh Stadium.

17000 for a GF at Hindmarsh would be awesome. Unfortunately, will never happen. Stadium must hold 30k (I think) to host a GF

Is there a offical mandate for that?

I have heard that the FFA have the power to choose where the GF will be played

Explain that Ranndy having our GF taken away from us due to lack of Stadia!

But according to the AO website the last Redbacks game at AO is Feb 21 and there is a Kings of Leon concert in Sun Mar 13 the GF would probably be that weekend. Could you have the GF the satuday arvo before?

The vics owns the AFL grandfinal, i would hate to see a deserving clubs grandfinal taken away

[Stuckey]

I wouldn't mind if it got us an AAMI park of our own!

There's no official documentation of note, nor a specific crowd minimum, but the FFA are able to have the final say. They did that for the Central Coast vs. Newcastle Jets final, which was meant to be in Gosford before being overruled and played at SFS, because they wanted a maximum-possible crowd. The Mariners protested, but the FFA put their foot down.

Football Park is already out of the question, our only options in Adelaide are Hindmarsh and the Oval. We may have to slide money under the table to the SACA/State Government to host it at Hindmarsh.

Why?

[Steelinho]

Why to which part?

If the first, because they wanted a spectacle and thought they wouldn't get it with the "limited" crowd in Gosford. If the second, because the FFA will probably insist we host it at Adelaide Oval for the very same reason. Bigger stadium, more attendance, more seating for that interstate mob that we face in the match.

[General Ashnak]

The Champion's Toilet Seat is all about fund raising for the FFA, they will play each game at the stadium they think will maximise their profit from each game. It has nothing to do with the clubs.

You said Hindmarsh which confused me

Just like the World Cup!

Yes, I did, because what I meant is that if we want it at Hindmarsh and not the Oval, we'd have to make sure the state/stadium management refuse use of the Oval for the event, leaving the FFA no choice but to use the home of football in Adelaide.

[Stuckey]

Surely we would get a full house at AO for the GF obviously the viewing isn't as good but i wonder what 37,000 AU fans would sound like?

[Mr. Happy]

I didn't think the view was too bad at AO last time, I have certainly been to worse grounds.

[David Votoupal]

After the win in Melbourne, I think United can and will avoid defeat in the remaining games.

Four home games in five, and a trip to currently out of form Gold Coast. Not bad at all.
