A-League Finals - The Semi Finals

[Elmer_Judd]

It's a difficult decision either way. If the game is moved to Sydney it would likely not be at Campbelltown, but instead at kograh or leichhardt (Campbelltown is pretty far away from Sydney proper so it would be quite a neutral venue)

I would still prefer it to be played behind closed doors in Melbourne, we deserve that much at least for finishing top of the league.

Ultimately the decision will be out of City's hands, The APL are the ones that are going to take the financial hit on this with no crowds and so they will need to weigh in the options if moving the match will make it a viable option (which it will be).

Money before fairness. Yep seems legit. Play it in Adelaide or Bris Vegas if need be.

I have no worries about beating The Cows in NSW, but the principal of it all stinks.

I suggested Canberra will be a good option too.
Principal's have been thrown out the doors these past 15 months nothing should surprise us anymore with all the loopy decisions and rules during this pandemic.
I know it sucks for City fans and this decision most likely will mean the Grand Final isn't going to be played in Melbourne next week either if City win. But such is the state of the World today that we just have to live with these decisions!

Just enjoy that the games are still going ahead I guess.

I didn't think we were going to win the GF anyway, given 3 of our best players are away on Socceroos duties.

It sucks, but I have always rated the Premier's Plate higher than the Toilet Seat anyway.

Smurfs Championship to lose from here imo.

Seasoned pros who always come good come during the playoffs (helps when all of their best players are internationals too)

Club Update: Sunday's Semi Final - Melbourne City

By now you would have seen the decision by the Australian Professional Leagues (APL) to move Sunday’s Semi Final to Netstrata Jubilee Stadium in NSW. We are, alongside every City fan, extremely disappointed by this decision and we want you to know that we did everything in our power to keep the...

I can understand having the GF in Sydney if we make, but being forced to play our home semi final against a ratchet team of peasants that finished 6th in the league, in front of their inbred mouth breathing flog fanbase would be an utter joke and abomination.

Jesus you’re soft.

 

[Zidane98]

I'm hopeful we'll get some sort of crowd allowed even if it's capped at 4-5k. Not enough for the AFL but suitable at AAMI.

Play it in Geelong on Sunday, 7k crowd allowed just like the AFL on Friday night.

We lost 3 players as well.

Have a cup of concrete.

Well within you’re right to care more about the plate.

I, and most other fans going off the ratings, care more about the toilet seat.

Just got an message from the club. The APL have moved our semi final to Jubilee Stadium in some shithole in NSW.

It should have stayed in Melbourne purely so we don't have to listen to those ******* cowbells.

Kograh is still a long way from Campletown

Crowds unlikely at AAMI with the AFL fleeing town.

Macarthur are a huge chance. Could host the semi, and playing a city side minus 3 best players.

Maybe. Minus more than the 3 Socceroos, looking at last week’s match

 

[Colonial]

Any other club doing it and the little ALM crybabies would be championing it.

And I hope Sydney belt them by more than 4.

Looking forward to the game tonight. Will be interesting to see how Adelaide go, was last week the standard or the exception?

 

[AJ_2000]

No Milos Ninkovic tonight. He's a class creator for FC. Big out

 

[Greasyrhys]

Could ninkovic out help us? COYR

Poor challenge by the keeper, about to go a goal down
