The transport charges issue for the Gold Coast is a furphy. This type of direct cost - ie it is
charged per ticket - is simply included in the ticket pricing model. At the start of the season
Gold Coast's accountants - who worked out how to get the best squad in the A-League under the cap -
would have assumed that crowds were going to be above 5,000 for every match and popped the $3.

The match had not reached the seventieth minute, so the 1-0 lead the Lions had won't stand. The
game will not be rescheduled either.

But I was the real winner, because I got to watch some La Liga action on ESPN at work.
How awesome it that?
Almost as awesome as dominating a league foe in your season opener without the services of,
arguably, your best two players (Messi, Iniesta).
Not bad at all.

roster to still perform on the highest level.
