“NO GUTS, NO GLORY”

Since Nib stadium, the home stadium Perth Glory, is located at 310 Pier street, Perth CBD , it is quite convenient for Perth Residents to watch the Perth Glory match, mainly at Saturday nights. The ticket costs about $25 and you can purchase it on the website; []

Before you go to the stadium, you should learn the theme songs of the team. First, when the opposite goal keeper tries to do a goal kick, let’s sing a chant abusively ”You fat bas, You fat bas, You fat bas,You sh**, Ah-!” This will make you refreshed. Secondly, Perth Glory  fans sing to the chant of Chelsea Dagger  by The Fratellis (as below), when the Glory scores a goal. If you want to enjoy singing chats, it is better to go to the standing, where enthusiastic fans usually keep shouting. Some of them may turn to be hooligans, though.

When it comes to the players, my favourite player is Andrezinho, Brazilian attacking midfielder who can play through the middle or down the left. His electric pace dribble is a must-see. The master of the look-away pass and high-speed cross, the 26 year old has represented Brazil 6 times in 2004 at U-20 level. As of 25/01/12, the Glory ranked 5th among the ten in A-league. Although it seems to be difficult to win the championship in this season, you can enjoy the casual atmosphere of the stadium with enthusiastic fans.
