More than a decade on and Caxton Street still reverberates from the noise of “Orange Sunday” – all three of them – during Brisbane Roar’s era of A-League domination. In Adelaide people are still captured by the perfect autumn day in 2016 when the city was enveloped in a sea of red as Adelaide United clinched their maiden A-League Men championship.
Elsewhere, fans in Melbourne, Sydney, Newcastle and Perth, results notwithstanding, have also experienced the thrill of the A-Leagues’ showpiece event arriving in their city.
