Jason Petkovic
 

According to the website of his current club, Perth Glory, he's worth 12 extra points in a season and is the rock upon which Glory's title success was built. The question is, what standard of football do they play at?

Re: Jason Petkovic
 

do you think they have a fans team? away day here we come!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Jason Petkovic
 

Don't seem to have a fans' team, but they do seem to be a reasonably-sized club with home gates of 8,000 - 9,000. A pic of the stadium shows open-air stands under beautiful blue skies. If he does sign, he's in for a bit of a culture shock!

Re: Jason Petkovic
 

Looks good!.....hopes he signs!!

Re: Jason Petkovic
 

Could somebody please do me a favour :o Could you please copy the info from the web site on to here please as i can't get on to certain sites during wor hours.

Thanks

International Goalkeeper
The club are currently in talks with Australian International Goalkeeper Jason Petkovic formerly of Perth Glory and two times NSL Goalkeeper of the year. In the past Petkovic has had trials with Southampton and Norway's Rosenborg. The club are also still in talks with Jon Kennedy.

Re: Jason Petkovic
 

cant be to bad if he had trials we southampton

Re: Jason Petkovic
 

Jason Petkovic is a current member of the Socceroos (Australia's national soccer team)

Petkovic has now played 100 games for Perth Glory but has played over 250 games in the NSL If he can go past 345, he will beat the goalkeeping record held by Bob Catlin who has now retired

Jason used to play for Adelaide City but in 1999 joined Perth Glory

Statistically Petkovic is the best goalkeeper still playing in the NSL. He has kept a clean sheet on 89 occasions and could beat the all-record set by Bob Catlin of 105

Petkovic has had trials with Southampton (England) and Norway's Rosenborg but these were not successful so for now he remains in the NSL

Re: Jason Petkovic
 

he would be a good signing

Re: Jason Petkovic
 

Looks gorgeous, get him signed!!!

Re: Jason Petkovic
 

if only you where manager sb :)

Re: Jason Petkovic
 

if she was manager she wudnt have signed durnin then would she?

Re: Jason Petkovic
 

hehe like it fearon

Re: Jason Petkovic
 

or andy gouck for that matter, good call :)

Re: Jason Petkovic
 

yes but she would keep rory on the bench just to be close to him!!!!!!!!111

Re: Jason Petkovic
 

hey Accy fans

Hereford fan here but also follow Glory having lived in Oz for just over 6 months.Jason is a fantastic signing for you!! Did you know he has the record for most clean sheets! He kept 105 clean sheets in 281 games.I hope he can rekindle he fantastic goalkeeping at Accrington.Accrington you have a fantastic signing!!!

Good Luck Jason

Re: Jason Petkovic
 

dont jump the gun, we need to get him 1st :)

Re: Jason Petkovic
 

just talking to a glory fan on msn and he sais the standard is div 2

Re: Jason Petkovic
 

i would say that the standard of the NSL soon to be called APL is division 2 but there are teams such as Perth Glory and Parramatta Power who could challenge for promotion into the 1st division.

Anyway onto Jason (PETKA) Petkovic he was by far the best goalkeeper playing in the NSL and that thing about being worth 12 points a season i totally agree with that he is a fantastic talent and is very very experienced and if he signs for accy im sure that you will all grow to love him just as much as glor fans did. I hope that if he signs that you embrace him and that you all make him feel welcome but i also hope that he comes back and plays with glory in the APL.

BTW when does accy's season start????

Re: Jason Petkovic
 

Thanks for that info Perth Glory fan, our season starts on 14th August - if he does come to Accrington you can be sure he'll get a very warm welcome from the Stanley fans.

Re: Jason Petkovic
 

hmm the 14th august im hoping that if he does sign for accy then he only signs for a year so then glory can have him back when the APL starts. Anyway just another thing i want to know wut can ure stadium hold and wut do u normally get to ure home games (how many people)

Re: Jason Petkovic
 

holds just over 5000 only get bout 1000 on average, we'll cheer him on though :)

Re: Jason Petkovic
 

Average for last season was around the 1,700 mark, but hopefully we'll be improving on that next season when we're fulltime.

Re: Jason Petkovic
 

didnt realise it was that high, that including cup?

Re: Jason Petkovic
 

Nope, that's league only. With cup attendances, I reckon it must be over 2,000. You probably got that impression because the gates were dipping towards the 1,000 mark towards the end of last season. Hopefully, gates will stay buoyant this season as we embark on our promotion challenge.

Re: Jason Petkovic
 

Lets hope this poxy Government don't cock up the work permit, I for one would love to see him in a Stanley shirt.

Re: Jason Petkovic
 

good to see jason signign for a club to keep him fit until the APL begins again.

please make jason feel welcome and emrace evefry piece of good work he dooes

just wodnering BTW woudl any1 like me 2 send over a perth glory flag which sum1 can take to the games and wave it near jason so he can see it... Im sure he would love that

Re: Jason Petkovic
 

What a good idea... Dunno if he has actually signed yet though has he? If he does then send it along :)

Also if he does you will be able to keep track of him as there will be plenty of pictures from each game on www.kipax.com :)

Re: Jason Petkovic
 

hehe if i send the flag over it better be used coz i dont want to see it go to waste :p

hmm who whould i send it 2?????

Re: Jason Petkovic
 

The football club of course, I am sure they cn find plenty of supporters to fly the flag for you.

Re: Jason Petkovic
