Led 2-0 after 4 minutes, Garcia scored the opener after 40 seconds

now 2-2 20 mins + injury time to go

Finished 3-3, not a bad game to watch, fair bit of end to end stuff

The Good Guys back on top after a convincing 2-1 win tonight over AU!.

WSW beat Brisbane 1-0 with an 88th minute penalty.
Roar now second to bottom
Great weekend for United with Perth losing aswell, we now find ourselves 11 points clear of 7th spot

Securing Man U for the A-League All-Star game is a coup for the FFA, who seem to have had a pretty good season thus far

Yep, their team is good to watch aswell
Won the derby 2-0 and now up to 4th

It's too bad more fans don't travel to real away games.. not just the derby's

Unfortunatly due to the expence of travelling throughout oz will mean most wont ever travel interstate to watch their team.

Which is a shame. Especially for AUFC supporters who won't get to experience a really good atmosphere. Granted there are the odd games at hindmarsh when the place comes alive... but all too often it's like being at a crows game, with only noise when someone scores

As someone who has been on plenty of road trips I can assure you most of the fans in Australia are not passionate.
Doesnt compare anywhere near the old NSL days. I used to go to about 8 games interstate each year following City and the crowds were nuts and Hindmarsh used to rock. Nowadays its pretty tame

Towards the end of the Adelaide City Force hindmarsh rarely rocked.... I think that the way there is a home end and supporter group/s getting more organised at games now the atmosphere at games is awesome generally.

The atmosphere in the NSL was largely due to a rivalry based on race or religion, everything the A League wants no part of.

As a rule in Australia most supporters only cheer when they score or are winning.
The UK fans are by far the best, ive been to League 1 and 2 games where the supporters went at it non stop for the whole game, a crowd of 3-4,000 made more noise than an AFL grand final
