Adelaide United 2016/17 season thread

[radiojake]

A-League a bit of a mix with the tradition of Australia having finals series and with soccer traditionally being first past the post competitions in most places in the world.

I like the way they have defined the two - Premiers for finishing top - Champions for winning the Grand Final

Just to show that the FFA follow no logic whatsoever, apparently United's semi final will be at Coopers Stadium.

Either that or they've finally got the message that no one wants United playing at Adelaide Oval.

EDIT: No wonder they're having it at Coopers, it's on at the same time as the Hawthorn v Adelaide game. Could be in for a very lean crowd that night.

Seems pretty dumb, could have played both semi finals on the Sunday and avoided AFL completely.

I'm glad they're playing at Hindmarsh

I can't see how the Crows playing interstate will effect an Adelaide United crowd, should still get a sell out.

Adelaide United is a secondary (or even tertiary) love for alot of people. People would rather stay home and watch the Crows than watch an Adelaide United match.

true, but they'll still sell out Hindmarsh for a semi-final

 

[hey shorty]

The game is pretty much a sell out. Personally I'd rather watch the Reds in a final than an away game against Hawthorn..... just.

Less than 2K tickets remaining and the general public goes on sale tomorrow.

From a mate who works at ticketek.

Noone would miss Nicholls

 

[Crow-eater]

Tickets are awfully pricey, but at least the GA is the entire riverbank stand (Minus 3 bays for the Red army).

Just got ours. Pumped.

 

[brucetiki]

Be interesting to see if the prices put people off going.

I'd day I'm 50/50 at the moment.

Western Sydney and Brisbane has gone into overtime - 4-4 (Brisbane scored the first 3 in the first 23 minutes, then Western Sydney hit back and briefly lead 4-3 before Brisbane equalised).

 

[Smoooothy]

Wanderers in the final. 5-4. Once of the best games I've seen in the national league

 

[brucetiki]

Wanderers win 5-4 in overtime.

Adelaide and Western Sydney have played 3 draws this season (2 of which have been 0-0). This could be one of the dullest, and longest, Grand Finals ever.

Who cares as long as we win. I think the 4-4 scoreline says more about WSW's defence rather than their attack. 2-0 Adelaide for mine

Also, I suspect the SMA may be holding their collective breath as to how much damage the RBB will cause to the northern end of the ground.
