We here in The Gate and at AUFC would really love it if you would help out in giving the Vics s*@# this Thursday night... pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!!!

Challenge To All Sports Fans
Adelaide United FC Chief Executive Officer Michael Petrillo has issued a challenge to all sports fans to come out and support their State this Thursday Night at Hindmarsh Stadium.
“This game is not just club versus club it’s much deeper than that, It’s state versus state, SA against the Vics, there is no better sporting rivalry in this country than SA versus Victoria. This game is so important to both teams in the context of the season and the players would love to see a full house this Thursday when we take on the Vics.”
“We had a good crowd there last Sunday considering the atrocious weather. However, there’s no excuse not to get out there this Thursday night as the forecast is perfect. “
“Melbourne considered themselves unlucky to lose to us on both occasions so a victory this week may change their opinion of our side. I know the Victorians don’t rate us very highly but we’re used to that by now.”
“I’d love to see a packed Hindmarsh covered in a sea of Red giving the Vics a bit of stick and getting behind our team by being as vocal as possible. Last game at Olympic Park their (Melbourne) supporters were there in droves giving it to our boys, so we owe them one.”
“The challenge is out not only to Football (soccer) supporters but to sports fans in general.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know what you are thinking... 'Football Australia board'... but I don't think I'd get everyone's attention there. Come on, you know you want to, a chance to sink some beer and give the Melbourne lot a serve. Just the thing every true-blue South Aussie wants to do!
