    Hearing talk of us getting £6 million for this. It may end up being nowhere near that but if true that is a decent bit of cash for a small exhibition tournament.

    For the Aussie lads on here - what is the deal with Sydney FC and Western Sydney Wanderers? Do they hate each other? Lol

    Exactly, hope this doesn’t lead into the green brigade doing more daft protests that just affect the team, especially as we go into one of the most important title run ins in the clubs history.

    I’m still raging at this. Couldn’t give a * about the money either.

    Money is then last thing we should be giving them *. They can't even give us a proper allocation of tickets for away games, so what gives them the right to jump on our profile in Aus? Because if Ange wasn't here, A this wouldn't be happening and B both teams would never have been involved.

    Ange may well be the key to get it on in Sydney, there are many Hoops and Rangers supporters in Aus. There will be alot of down time in Nov. Both have international appeal. They have both been asked seperately and both are keen to take this on. This massive derby has stood the test of time, put the derby on the line then, watch it be a rousing success on the other side of the world.

    The Roar has said we get $11mnAUD (£6.07mn) whilst huns get $5mnAUD (£2.79mn)

    That could be the money need to complete signing of Jota and CCV

    My line of thinking aswell. For that reason alone this is a great deal.

    The attendance for that match will be sold out. About 89,000 plus the tv rights.

    It will cheapen it. The Derby is built on hatred which has built up from political/religious tensions. It’s being billed as a friendly, it will be exported from aus to other media outlets around the world as a friendly….unless you have been brought up in the bigotry we have suffered as west of Scotland Irish immigrants you woont understand why we as fans cannot accept a game (and billed as a friendly at that) against those * unless we have to, we will never ever make a conscious decision to play them if we don’t have to

    Sell out bullshit. They can ram it to *. If the huns want a game down under then go. If celtic want to then go. But keep us and those rancid scummy * away from us. We have nothing in common.

    you’ll also get renditions of the famine song

    you think it’s fair to put yer kids through that because that’s what yer going to get for inviting the ku klux klub to your shores

    The roar said that and their source was U.K. social media
    So probably lifted it from fans forums
    Loop de loop

    Dunno why we couldn’t play 2 games in aus then go to Japan and play 2 games
    We really need to raise our Japanese profile by going there and raking it in

    There's no love lost but zero comparison with the Gleska rivalry - and no-one would pretend there was.

    Beerman would have better insight than me but there used to be an element of the WSW support who were trying their hardest to be Euro style ultras which, in aid of a club about five years old, looked kinda lame.

    I'd be amazed if there isn't an element of bother which will be blown out of all proportion by the Aussie Rules/Rugby League sycophantic media, whinging about sokkah hooligans and how the game is a disgrace and ought to be banned.

    Aussie Rules of course is an abortion of a game and anyone who plays it has to be hit in the head with a half brick until they are stupid enough to qualify.
