Time to play hardball
Wednesday, December 9th, 2009With Etihad Stadium management showing their hand and siding with the AFL (who would have thought) is it now time for the FFA and Melbourne Victory to review their decision to play our biggest matches there from next season in protest. To be honest we don’t need to play matches against Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne Heart(?). A 30,000 seat stadium will do us just fine. Now whose stadium will sit empty during those summer months not for two or four months, without anyone purchasing a single slightly warm mid-strength beer.
And who would have thought Melbourne Victory fans would have needed extra incentive not to like Etihad Stadium.
Can we have it like this every week?

The combination of Melbourne’s great play and closeness of the fans created a heady mix that surely will have fans wanting more. It will be interesting to see if the stadium management will again bring the seats in again for our next home game. Being that the next home game is against Sydney surely you would want that atmosphere again.
The North/South/East/West chant brought memories of our last every home game at Olympic Park against the now defunct New Zealand Knights. Coincidentally it was the game that wrapped at the premiership for that season.
Now can we have that every week? That is the quality football combined with the increased atmosphere. I can only hope so.
A simple equation
Saturday, September 19th, 2009Take note Etihad Stadium management. A good playing surface equals Melbourne playing attractive football and getting good results and thus bigger crowds. The Hindmarsh Stadium surface last night was brilliant and it allowed the Victory to play to their strengths. And it’s not like Adelaide has any more water to work with than Melbourne. Next home game, no excuses.
