Wanderers Season Opener Postponed

Had to happen I guess. Hopefully numbers continue dropping so no further games are affected.

If the match was further postponed, does Fox Sports cut some funds from the ALeague?

My understanding of these broadcast contracts is that as long as the matches are delivered by a certain end date they can be moved and shuffled as needed.

Well this sucks, can't make it now. I was genuinely so keen for this.

At least we're not playing NYE. 

Taking a punt likely won't happen 30th either.

Still out.

Assuming it goes ahead on 30th is it a reduced crowd game ie 50% capacity?

We only have room for 1 Bullsh1tter with Covid restrictions reimposed. 

They moved it from a Sunday evening the day before a public holiday to midweek where some people work. Delayed the KO too. Should have just moved it to the new years day timeslot that is currently free.

Yeah the Sunday evening when many folks are away !!

You're never going to keep everyone happy when you schedule games this time of the year.

Guess noone told the weather Gods that the Wanderers game has been postponed.

EDIT Oops! I was a day ahead of myself!

Mind you, it's meant to be wet on Weds as well.

Hopefully not by kick off.

Wednesday 30 December

Bit far out for a real forecast.

FWIW the app I use for weather says a few morning showers, mostly cloudy at night but could be 17 to 18C for Wednesday 

It's supposed to be game day.

OK...so the football Gods DID hear the game was called off!

One nice day, after dreary wet days...with more forecast.

PS I edited the post above.

Troisi and Ibini's agents

What time is kick off?

I thought I read somewhere the other other day that the original time of 6.30 on the Sunday had been put back to a later time on the Wednesday.

Thank you.

At least those that haven't seen this will turn up early.

Anyway, myself and WB Jnr are excited about trying out new foodie options pre match in Parramatta, even though it's a shite fight atm with the light rail construction.

Since a lot of people are on leave I’m hoping a decent number will come for the W-League game beforehand.

I'm planning to for that very reason.

Good call. It's a derby. It would be great if we could supply some derby atmosphere for the W's.
