    Annoys the crap out of me, but.....considering one game is just some @@@@ty pre-season comp and the other is a valuable regular home and away fixture......I have to devote my time my time to the A-league fixture.

    Sorry folks!!!
    A civilized attitude noticeably missing in many NSW rugby fans. Following one code does not exclude you from appreciating or also following another.

    I have always been a soccer fan but only went to my 1st A-League game this year. I have very strong tribal connections to Sydney and as I am of Italian heritage, I wanted to see Alessandro DP play. Sydney FC were coming to town and I had th opportunity to take a mate's MV membership as he was out of town.

    I have to say, the atmosphere was awesome and I will be going again when SFC come to Melbourne. The onfield stuff doesn't hold a candle to the indigenous Australian code for excitement, bravado and continuity but the overall experience was fantastic. I suggest all should go and have a look.

    It's an attitude also shared by many league fans as well. And by many AFL fans too I must say....

    Also applies to many AFL supporters here in Victoria too!!!

    I cant understand how some people think, well here in Victoria anyway, that if you love AFL you have to hate the A-League or the NRL!

    The A-league is a brilliant competition to follow in the summer months, certainly helps with the AFL withdrawal people suffer in the off season.

    I'm not a member of the Storm but I attend a few of their games as well.
