Well Seb Ryall doesn't play for Sydney anymore so it should be just a harmless prank...

Getting excited for the final!!!! Can't wait for the tickets to go on sale. I think it will sell out pretty quick once it goes to general sale (assuming it goes to general sale). I'm normally on my own, but I'll be buying two tickets.

Last time we hosted the final it sold out in 30 minutes after going to the general public.
Just renewed my membership today to make sure I get early access.

Sydney looked bloody clinical against WSW.
de Jong and Let Fondre seem like quality.
I then look at Baba and Ilso and think how big a gulf in class and form there is.

The FFA Cup winner will take home $67,000 — close to the cost of the Reds hiring Hindmarsh last season — and the runner-up will receive $42,000.
FFA will pay for the costs of hosting the final, including stadium hire.
Adelaide will wind up preseason with a clash behind closed doors against Melbourne Victory at Hindmarsh on Friday.
Not bad either way for the club financially, our stadium rent will be mostly paid. Although the FFA are set to make about $500,000 in ticket sales and have already made money selling the tv rights.
Sydney wanted the final played this weekend instead but it's an international break. FFA have only just started observing breaks and didn't want to muddy that.

Our rent is close to $67k per season at Hindmarsh?
Sounds way too low.

Apologies. After some research I've found that we were paying 33k per game 5 years ago, so it definitely would be per match.
I had in my head maybe the bare bones rent without security, food, staff etc might work out to $5000 per match but I was way off haha
