Heading down to Brisbane tommorow to see the Everton game. I haven't been to suncorp before can anyone tell me where the best place to park is on the north side so we can catch a bus to the ground.

PAP, my son and myself are going as well. Your ticket gives you free travel on all Translink services (train, bus) on the 17th. Cant help with where to park as I live on the GC but if you fancy meeting up for a few drinks before the game we will be in the Caxton (right next to the stadium in Caxton St) from about 4:30. If you want I can pm you my mobile no.

sounds good to me

So the A league Pre league season is here ...... Yahooooo


Off to Etihad here in Melbourne tonight, for Melbourne Victory v Boca Juniors.


Enjoy up there Guys

Its about time we got the Villa over here see you in the pub mate

Have any other A League followers here seen this.....

Whats really annoying about the following is they could have made it so much better by involving Melbourne Victory, Wellington, and Brisbane Roar. F knows why they've held this in Sydney and not Melbourne where the actual crowds are. Spewing down here about this.

Sydney will become the epicentre of the football world between July 25 - 31 with three of Europe's biggest clubs set to battle it out against Hyundai A-League champions Sydney FC in the inaugural Sydney Festival of Football! Scottish champions Glasgow Rangers, EPL glamour club Blackburn Rovers and iconic Greek club AEK Athens will battle it out with Sydney FC over a three day round robin tournament commencing on Sunday July 25, at the Sydney Football Stadium.

Yours in football,
The Football Family

Wellington will possibly be the biggest team in the A league this year, in front of Melbourne Victory, which could be a good thing.

sounds like it would be a good few days out. Dont think the wife would be to keen on the idea. Real football is the only thing i have missed since being over here. Maybe if it takes off they will move it next year to give others a chance to see it.

Your honestly better off going to a game v Sydney, Adelaide, Wellington or MV.

agree - they brought the premier league pricing with them .. waste of money to go see the b-team

Plus no Atmosphere, and no real competition. Hate to say it, but I would probably pick Sydney to go to as a first game at Brisbane, or perhaps the Gold Coast, not so sure about that 2nd choice though. You'll get the best possible Atmosphere out of those two I would suggest.

Perth are actually interesting, they pick one eastern seaboard team to travel to each season in numbers, bringing around 300 plus supporters with them, that would be good to go to if they Pick Brisbane this time, they could do, as they've already been to Sydney and Melbourne.

"EPL glamour club Blackburn Rovers" made me chortle ...

I see Cahill won't play against The Roar because he is best man at a wedding ...

Not a great game but a fun afternoon / evening out - good to see you again Paul & Haggis, and nice to meet you Jim.

How do you reckon Roar are going to go this year. I dont expect anything from MV, they havent bought anyone, plus I think the limelight and emphasis is on Melbourne Heart this year. They managed 19,000 against Everton, which is probably a good sign for the future of the club in the A league.

If they do pick up genuine supporters, which looks the case, then October the 6th at Swan St v MV will be mad.

Good luck this season.

Nice meeting you guys maybe catch up another time

Cant realy say as i havent followed them since being here but after the Everton game my son wants to go again so lets hope for a good season.
