2014/15 Melbourne Victory Thread - Home of the Champions!! #10yearsproud

[Richo is God]

They will be in oval configuration - like for AFL.

Yeah that's what I mean

 

[peternorth]

is there a rivalry between NT and SE?

 

[Fruity33]

is there a rivalry between NT and SE?

Not really, they have different type of support. Don't quote me on this, but SE is more "English" like (eg no flags, just singing and chanting) and the NT more of an Italian type (eg, flags, tifos etc). They have joined many times (derbys and previous grand finals) so they get along I would say, as an observer.

So pumped for tonigh and work productivity is almost non-existant. Mon!!!!!!

NT don't get on well with SE.

"SE don't know how to respect a capo."

 

[Greater Gattsby]

awesome!

school? does teacher know you're on bigfooty?

Haha yeah, nah teachers don't know jack. I'm in physics at the moment lol

 

[thecatattack]

Glad I get Friday's off of Uni so I can relax all day today before I head out.

if someone asks me the same question i might just say "fruity33 said...". haha.

ive been in SE before and enjoyed my time there. youre right, no choreography there

NT don't get on well with SE.

"SE don't know how to respect a capo."

A capo (/ˈkeɪ.poʊ/ or /ˈkæ.poʊ/; short for capotasto, Italian for "head of fretboard") is a device used on the neck of a stringed (typically fretted) instrument to shorten the playable length of the strings, hence raising the pitch.

Only plus for oval configuration is that capacity is greater.

 

[tigs2010]

Yeah that's what I mean

So you're saying it's ruined the game?

 

[GandalfTheDon]

Nope, NT will be on the bottom level. Although seeing as the Active Area is smaller tonight hopefully there's a few that start chanting on the top level.

An early goal would get the place absolutely rocking.

Also everyone get down to the Southern Cross steps for the march at 5:20. Gonna be epic.

Did they explicitly say that though? Everything I've read from them is fairly veiled, they say they'll be 'Active' in support, but don't explicitly say where. I.e. in response to a question on the NT page suggesting that they were going to boycott the game:

"As mentioned many times previously, the NT has not mentioned anything about a boycott or a protest. The NT WILL be 100% active tomorrow night"

The above doesn't actually say 'where' they'll be active though, and the original question did ask about whether or not they'd be level 1 or 3, which the answer has completely ignored.

A protest would involve going up to level 3 and leaving the the bottom level empty.

There is no protest. So they will be on the bottom level. If there was a protest they would have told their members via FB that they would be on level 3.

Well to be fair, they have told everyone to get to the stadium 2 hours early. It's more than likely that they're just trying to get the north and south setup over level 1 and 3, but I want confirmation damn it

Yep, this sounds like what they're trying to do. Bottom level will be full, but the extras from the march will hopefully set up their own section on the top level.

45k sold, 30 us, 15 them. #ead

I'd be amazed if they had 15k fans total... let alone at the game

 

[OzBomber]

I'd say many Victory fans would've taken advantage of the 1 membership + 4 friends presale. Would be far less than that. You can also still buy plenty of seats in their non-active areas which I'm guessing will be snapped up by Victory fans tonight.

Level 3 does not automatically mean protest, Level 3 means that the whole terrace gets to be active together despite the FFA restrictions. This is a completely different scenario than what happened last season.

 

[Lockyer24]

Ima south ender, but I suspect norf end will go lvl 3 tonight too

 

[Richo is God]

Ima south ender, but I suspect norf end will go lvl 3 tonight too

As a neutral, my expectation is the south end will get level 1 and NT will take up l3. Hope I don't get flares thrown on me though as im sitting in l2 behind the goals

jesus good point. i dont want flares anywhere, let alone descending on me in medallion club

 

[Mkcaptain]

Its a pity that the seats aren't being brought in. It would have made my seat considerably better, but I knew it was an oval configuration when I bought the ticket so I can't complain

So excited!

 

[Dan Cooper]

We'll be on level 2 tonight and might have to inhale rising flare smoke. If there's a fire extinguisher anywhere nearby I might just let them have a burst.

Just suck it up for a bit.

I'm sitting on level 3 and I'm still complaining. The atmosphere isn't as good

 

[Amazing Bombers]

Absolutely pumped. Looking like it's gonna be a crowd of at least 50,000.
