Official South Melbourne Hellas thread 🔵⚪

[southmelb]

Preston confirmed on socials that its the same arrangement as last year.

To put last year in perspective, a South official revealed the day before the game that just under a thousand tickets had been sold in the away end, hours before kick off it had approached 1,300 and all up it got close to 1,500 in total.

I dont see more than 300-500 being in the away end tomorrow, but i'd be interested if any numbers are revealed. I reckon Monday nights bullshit has taken care a few hundred easily. I know of a dozen ppl that are going to brunswick city v george cross instead (free entry and less hassle)

BT Connor has an 'estimated' capacity of 6,500. Can we push for 7k?

So this is a nonsense figure cos last years cup game was announced as 6,500 with an entire wing being empty.

Either its more or last years figure was inflated.

The messages this morning are flying thick and fast.. Three car loads of us are now debating attending.. My plan is to rock up early, park and hang around the carpark until the team-list is announced before buying a ticket.... Who knows what big brain "plan" they have concocted for the sake of "metrics" this time round?

My first post here.

Will this really be a sell out? Surely not.

Monday was so f'ing deflating (yes ... I am a South Melbourne Hellas fan), that I would have thought a lot of our fans would not bother.

Last year I was able to drag along about 4 people (all women! HEHE).

This year I was in no mood to ask anyone, except my cousin's son.

Welcome aboard .. there can NEVER be too many Hellas fans on here.... stats don't lie apparently

Yeah I thought that many wouldn't bother turning up this week either , but it IS a derby and this fixture has been anticipated ever since June July last year when it looked like Preston was heading up ....

Credit to both club's social media teams ... I predict "sell out" means 6,500-7000 which is nothing to sneeze at at state league level, let alone national... Enjoy the match. ....
