Spurs to play in Sydney??

[Trevor_Whatever]

Sydney are going to win aren't they?

They will be up for it. Shop window and all that. Plus the Australia v England angle.

50k tickets sold already - even though there's another 7 weeks til game time. Teams to play for the AIA trophy. Game to be televised live on free to air for a TV audience of 1 million in Australia and more overseas. Great exposure for the club with lots of talk locally about Harry Kane.

The media are getting more excited about it that I anticipated. There was a segment on a popular breakfast news program here this morning about the game, where the news ticker said "Sydney FC versus Tottenham Spurs". Reminded me of Ted Lasso ffs!

There was also an interview with a Sydney player and while he was talking there was a montage of Spurs goals which included Bale's outside of the foot shot one against the Arse in his final season, and oddly Soldado's pen on debut v Crystal Palace. Went full weird when they cut away to a picture of Jose Mourinho celebrating something. Any way, any exposure is good exposure.

CAN'T FUCKING WAIT - COYS!

That's a fantastic response for a friendly. Seems like there's a real appetite to see Spurs/Prem teams in Oz.
Well done to all the Spurs fans for making it such an event over there

I'm really looking forward to seeing the game (from afar).

The global spread of 'soccer' (I assume you call it that in Oz) continues apace.

The crowd is likely to grow bigger - the stadium seats 83k!

Staying in Watsons Bay for this...just realised what a bitch it is to get to!
Any commuting advice from Sydneysiders?

Watsons Bay is beautiful on southern side of the habour and a long way to the Stadium.
Best bet get a taxi to central train station and take train direct to stadium station.

Will be in the "park lane" area with my uncle, not sure if he's the singing type but I'll give it my best. Should be good!

We're meant to be playing on that pitch in about 6 weeks

 

[Trevor_Whatever]

When rugby supporters are complaining about the quality of the pitch you know you're in trouble

[Melspurnian]

Bought tickets and booked flights and all but I don't think I'm going to be able to go. I hope you all have a great time, will be watching on tv
