Damn it was cold that night....... I also remember there was _maybe_ 100 of us, but when we went back down for the 1-1 draw later in the season, there was nearly 2000 travelling, spread all over the stadium, not just Bay 3. Ahhhhhh, memories.
Any idea on realistic traveling numbers for this particular game?

Just had a look at the odds at the TAB...
Are there some injuries we don't know about? Looks to me like $10 would be well spent on us here!!!
Sportsbet No Selection (default) Price
16471 Sydney FC 1.90
16472 Draw 3.35
16473 Central Coast Mariners 3.70

Standing.  What song are we going to belt out pre-game?? Going on what was said earlier, and how appropriate they are to the whole situation, I think both Friday on My Mind or Friday I'm in Love could really work. |

Are they kidding with those odds! I'm on big time.
I read on Sunday that Sydney are favourites for the A-League this year - in what universe?

Good odds, even a non punter like me might be tempted.

Well I have round 1 in our betting sydnicate - looks like $10 will have to go on this game? Jedinak is the only injury concern. |

preview from SFCU:
Livenly up yourselves people...
Official squads aren't out yet and may not be out till tomorrow - Friday games suck like that. So I've assumed the squads myself and run with it from there.

Bookie's Thoughts
Centrebet will offer:
$2.05 Sydney win
$3.30 draw
$3.40 Mariners win
Recent Encounters:
PRE-SEASON CUP 2007:
SFC 0 - 3 CCM (Osman, Kwasnik, Gumprecht)
HAL 06/07:
CCM 0 - 0 SFC
CCM 3 - 1 SFC (O'Grady, Mori x2 / Carbone fk)
SFC 1 - 0 CCM (Fyfe)
Key Battles:
Gumprecht/Jedinak v.s. Talay/Miligan: This is the gamebreaker. In Canberra Gumprecht and Jedinak had a field day against the makeshift SFC midfield of Talay/Severino. Jedinak held fort at the base and Gumprecht swathed through the middle as he pleased. If this happens again we can expect a similar scoreline.
Thankfully things have changed, at least to a degree. Talay has had more matchtime and done more with it, Millsy at CDM is far better to get stuck in and fight for the ball in the middle, and Popovic playing a full game in the backline will be infinitely better than McFlynn's first-half cameo at CB in Canberra that saw us slaughtered. If Talay and Millsy get a foothold I think we're in with a chance - but only if then.
McFlynn/Fyfe v.s. Pondeljak/Kwasnik: Not too much to say as it's been documented in depth on SFCU but our fullbacks are a clear weakness. T-Mac's tackling skill is about all he's got going for him at RB and Fyfe is horribly out of position at left-back of all places. With the two deeper lying CMs, much of CCM's game will rely on getting the ball wide to their very attack-minded wide men. We have the potential to be seriously carved open in this area - and McKinna will be counting on doing so to win.
Brosque/Corica/Juninho v.s. Osman/Vidmar: If the Mariners have a weak point this is it. For mine it will be mistake of McKinna to go for Vidmar instead of Boogard as is expected, and with Corica inevitably drifting in from the left we'll be counting on our three best players on the ball to combine and find us our goals.
Jaza's Tip:
SFC 1 - 3 CCM. They're in good form having had a long pre-season (my tips for the title), and combined with our poor form, injury list and shocking (IMO) tactical decisions recently we will lose this game easily.
