Listening to Simon Hill's commentary from the Wolves game, he was extremely confident early on that the figure would be 5 figures. I was surprised when it was "only" 8k.
Super keen for Edgy v WSW.

+x+xThe Roar game at Ballymore 3,000? I laughed at this when it was announced. I counted about 700 heads on the hill, so a nearly full grandstand is 2,300? lol There was at least 5,000. On a side note they didn't even have enough food to go around. Burgers for example sold out 15 - 20 mins before the game even started. Pathetic. If they sold Halal Snack Packs nobody would have went hungry. Terrorist food wouldn't have been allowed in the ground.

Glad that Sydney/Perth isn't the televised game.
Hopefully a big turn out at Perry Park. Love watching Fornaroli play.

+x+x+xLoad of garbage it was 8k it looked above for sure and it matches the pre game expectations. bull shit i was there 11,000 at least Agreed. I was standing on the hill and there was plenty of people packed in. Definitely 10k at a minimum. Which would have gotten our average up a bit but oh well.

+xNah, no going backwards.Since the cup has different teams and a different draw every year, it isn't a proper basis for comparison.Eg, one year we may get unheard of teams and no derbies. Then fhe next year we may get all famous teams and lots of derbies.Remember, more teams than Ebert participated this year, that's the main thing Not to mention the regional teams we had this season. Wollongong, Cairns, Sunshine Coast, Devonport etc.

+xI am waiting to see what happens in NPL Queensland. Would be a lot of pressure on Fury if Heat take out the entire NPL. That would mean they would most likely face Frenchville after a local team from Cairns. Would they make it atm? Already a heap of pressure. Cairns are far superior. -PB

+x+x+x+x+x+xAs numbers seem to be the thing around here recently, I've had a first bash at creating an 'NPL state coefficient' based on the UEFA country coefficient. UEFA coefficient: 1 point for draw 2 points for win (a win by penalties is classified as a draw, a win in extra time is classified as a win) Bonus points: 4 points for qualifying to the champions league 5 points for qualifying for the round of 16 1 point for progressing through each of the knockout stages All divided by the number of competing teams, added up over five years. NPL coefficient: 1 point for draw (I've given a point to teams that take it to extra time for some of the weaker federations) 2 points for win (a win by penalties is classified as a draw, a win in extra time is classified as a win) Bonus points: 4 points for qualifying through the NPL (as there are no other qualifying rounds, I don't think it makes sense to give points for simply showing up) 1 point for progressing through each of the knockout stages (I've classified round of 32 as knockout as there aren't the six games you play through in the Champions league) Double points against A-league opposition (I.e. if you take them to extra time 2 points, if you beat them in regular time 4 points + 1 bonus point for making it to the next round) All divided by the number of competing teams, added up as far as the comp has gone. Results compared to spots so far:  Clearly not advocating that NSW go down to one spot, but I think there's a case to drop their fifth spot as well as NNSW and WA to lose their second with SA, TAS and ACT being the main beneficiaries (maybe SA up from 1 to 3 and TAS/ACT playing off for a second spot) Tough one this year as we had 2-3 games where it was NSW teams against each other. No excuse for the past few seasons. I think the analysis is a good quick and dirty, if you excluded state derbies altogether to a certain extent you can correct how that skews the numbers but it still reduces the number of games significantly Similarly you would want to either exclude matches vs A-League opponents or at least factor the margin in as a 1-0 loss is going to give the same points as an 8-0 loss despite one being a much better result Given the small number of teams from most states the numbers are very up and down and even 3 years is a very small sample, so perhaps it can be reviewed after the end of the 2017 cup and tell us more than we can tell at the midpoint of the 3rd season At this stage I would say Vic, SA and Qld would all be in line for an extra spot if NSW were to lose one, and the table does support that. I think we should include games played at the end of year NPL Interstate finals. I think these games should carry more weight than the FFA Cup as it is a tournament against other semi-pro federations and it is a tournament which an NPL club side can actually win. I think NSW, SA and possibly TAS should be given an extra spot and Vic should be reduced to three spots and Qld reduced two. I would suggest NNSW to lose one of their spots but there are more registered players there than Victoria so it's not exactly fair. I'm not saying the NSW NPL teams don't take the FFA Cup seriously but, at this point in the tournaments development, it seems to be that the games are not played with the same level of intensity to which other NPL games are played. Point in case Blacktown beating Sydney Utd 6-2 in extra time whilst Sydney Utd are fighting to win the Club Championship in the NSW NPL. Table with the NPL games also included (and retaining the 4 bonus points for winning the thing):  The problem for the NSW sides is that they struggle to beat anyone from the other three big federations. In 12 attempts against interstate competition they've won 4 games. Three of those were against tassie/ACT/WA teams who you'd expect them to beat, and one was against Far North Queensland, who consistently suck. I can't see why NSW should be given another spot when they've already been given an extra one compared to other major states and they're struggling to justify that on the field. And yet in the 3 national NPL finals, NSW NPL1 teams have made the finals on all 3 occasions, and won it twice. Yeah, but to be fair we've had the massive handicap of having South Melbourne as our only representative... :PI don't think anyone genuinely thinks that the numbers NSW is getting is indicative of the quality of the league, they're clearly just desperately under-performing, but I think the numbers do highlight that the league isn't miles above the other NPLs and that the state leagues are much more even (with clear exceptions) than we thought before this whole shebang kicked off.
