the capacity to 20,000 I reckon.
Mate, we are now in the final stage of the ACL. There's no further we can go in ACL. The next comp we will be in is the Club world championships. All of these matches will be in Japan.rev wrote:Yep it probably will, and hopefully they keep performing and making the final stages of the ACL, to justify a new stadium to our knob head politicians.
Although I still believe by the start of the next decade a new stadium will be a sure thing.
Anyway, well done Adelaide United..even though I don't have much love for generic franchises. At least your showing Melbourne how its done, who were knocked out of the ACL 6-2 on aggregate.!
No. Melbourne weren't knocked out on a 6-2 aggregate, they didn't get past the group stage due to finishing second in their group.

Sorry if there was a misunderstanding, but when i said to have a 'stadium like ANZ Stadium', I meant it in the sense that ANZ Stadium has reconfigurable seating for both oval and rectangular sporting codes. To have such a stadium, wouldn't need to be an 80,000 seater, just a 55-60 seater, like Stadium WA, except build it so that it has the potential to be expanded to seat 80,000 should the need arise in the future. There's nothing wrong with a bit of forsight!

As good as it will be for Adelaide to make it, it does highlight the fact we have nowhere to hold such events.
Port Adelaide? Hardly. They are struggling with the costs of AAMI as it is. And that's in a season where membership was boosted by making a Grand Final the previous season.
Adelaide United? Averages of little more than 10,000 tell the story. And other A-League clubs playing out of large stadiums are stuggling with the costs and are moving to more manageable boutique style stadiums (i.e. Melbourne Victory leaving Telstra Dome, Queensland Roar leaving ANZ).
Adelaide Crows? They are possibly the only team that could afford it, maybe. But even if they could 11 or so match days a year don't justify such a stadium. I mean, where does the stadium generate income if it's only being used so few times a year?
And besides all that, if Adelaide United want to play in a bigger stadium, they can - at AAMI. But they don't want to because it's not their home. Having an ANZ type stadium wouldn't change a thing in that regard.

I've been following the game for close to 30 years. But that's got nothing to do with anything so I don't know why you felt the the need to speculate on that.rev wrote:Finally woken up to the beautiful world game with the new A-League a few years ago and consider your self an expert on "soccer" now? Or was it Australia qualifying for the World Cup that caught your attention?
It's not the error that bothered me, it's the pathetic gloating over the Melbourne Victory. Need you be reminded of the circumstances that allowed to the A-League teams to make it to the ACL?Big whoop, I made an error. What I was talking about was their group games against Gamba Osaka, which they lost 4-3 and 2-0(6-3). I read something earlier, forgot some of the details, rushed to make a post without checking twice. So shoot me, I'm human, I'm prone to making errors unknowingly.
