I've been following Heart/City for 9 seasons. I have probably missed a dozen home games over the years but would have watched all I reackon.
Friday night was close to the worst ever home performance. Even in the dark Aloisi era when we didn't win a game for 20 something weeks we didn't play so poorly.
On paper we have arguably the best and balanced list we have ever assembled, maybe with the exception of a backup striker but nevertheless we have a really deep squad of A League quality players.
Of field we have been engaging with the community and really connecting and in a very saturated market keeping our head afloat. Most home games we get around 10k turning up. On Friday it was over 12k. The club had ran a promotion with McDonald's and had given away heaps of free tickets and the GA end was full mostly first timers.
Then we dish up that! At 75 minutes the GA that was full was close to half. Those that came more than likely won't return.
If ever there was a statement of 1 step forwards 10 back that was Friday. We are in a bad state next Friday can't come soon enough.
