Hi all,

Glad to see Malaysians welcoming us back. To be honest, most Singaporeans want to see our team in the Malaysia Cup as well. For many of us, with Lions XII, it is a dream come true. And we can't wait to live the dream, Number 25 can't be too far away!

The S-League has served us well. It has been there for years but falling attendance figures speak for themselves in regards for the local interest. I have always believe, to have a successful footballing city, passionate rivalry have to exist. The Liverpools have their Evertons, the Celtics have their Rangers and the Real Madrids have their Barcelonas.

But in the Singaporean League, what do we have? Woodlands vs who? Tampines vs who? Someone living in Woodlands don't really have any hatred for people in Tampines, do they? If you are not looking to beat someone with a passion, then where's the competitive spirit gonna spark? This is where Lions XII will fill the gap.

Watching Woodlands vs Tampines is like watching a kampung game, an inter-town league game at best. But playing against Malaysian States, who hates all-thing Singapore with a burning passion, we have some real rivalry to speak of.

And I guess we are all looking forward to that one. Only with a strong rivalry and an intense hatred for the other team, will supporters feel a sense of belonging and thumps their chest for every goal and victory.

Different kettle of fish.

Jalan Besar stadium is a very small one.

If Lions XII happens to play in a much bigger stadium like 20,000-30,000, it will struggle to fill to full capacity.

No doubt you guys played really well. Former star like Indra Putra still pulling some weight even after the young Lions pancit. I really like how the midfield can control and pass the ball around intelligently.

And you guys know how close the fans are to the players at JBS? Words said on the field can be clearly heard and vice versa? I think that is gonna bring a new perspective to matchday experience. We heckled and insult the Kelantan players just waiting for a reaction

To Jalan Besar:
From Woodlands MRT Station, take the Marina Bay-bound train to City Hall.
Once at City Hall, take the Pasir Ris-bound train to Lavender.
To go to the stadium, just follow the crowd! JBS is just 10-mins walk away.

Another alternative;
From Larkin Bus Terminal, take SBS Bus No. 170.
Go thru' checkpoints then alight at KRANJI MRT.
From Kranji MRT, go to City Hall then Lavendar. (See above).

To go back from JBS,
From Lavender, go to City Hall.
From City Hall, go to Kranji.
From Krangi, take 170 back to Larkin.

Another faster alternative;
If I'm not wrong, near Bugis MRT, which is one station away from Lavender,
there is Singapore-Johore express buses.
So you don't need make the one-hour train trip to Kranji to go home.
Just take express bus and relax, go to checkpoints and go home.
