Got tickets for the derby. Should be a good game. Interestingly, City has been pursuing a bit of a youth strategy, signing a bunch of its academy kids to professional contracts over the past few weeks.

 

[CakeEater]

Glory to probably concede 3 this week

Are Macarthur capitalising on R1 success?

They should be advertising the shit out of tonight's game. Should be 20 bucks for adults.
Juniors accompanied by an adult = free.

If they haven't tried to capitalise on it so far they're unlikely to do so now.

In fact they probably made the cheapest tickets $75 after round one

 

[AJ_2000]

They do have a sharp kit. Their best since joining

By the looks of that crowd tonight no

 

[AJ_2000]

As is the way, jets dominate the opening 18 mins, MacArthur have a cross that forces keepers intervention the score almost immediately

Ban the cowbells might help crowds.

Pitch looks like an actual cow paddock.

Just had a look before, crazy how many tickets are available!
Sadly for City, when Victory stopped playing at Docklands it meant the City home derby's were no long as hotly anticipated for fans wanting an intimate atmosphere. Doesn't help that City have done stuff all to engage with fans over the last five years and have slowly dropped off. I'm lucky to get to three games a year nowadays.

Macarthur away is a must mute game. The cowbells are annoying af.

 

[giggler99]

Jets in front 2-1! Macarthur just missed a penalty 5mins of injury time to go!

 

[giggler99]

FT 2-1 win to the Jets! A brace from Eli Adams!
