Baysie and Stirling are popping champagne corks right now, guarantee it.

Any firm word on match dates?

The non a-league teams will always be the home team. I like this. We found out from the draw initially that at least 1 State League team makes the semis, so this will be a HUGE game for them being at home against likely an A-legaue team.

I'm loving this comp btw. Great setup.

ROFL. CITY v SFC

Wolves vs Mariners, probably the best choice for the Round 1 TV coverage game. If Foxsports stick to only broadcasting one game in Round 1.
Win stadium has the best lighting for broadcast outside of the A-league grounds.

29th July, 5th August, 12th August and 19th August

Dates and venues are meant to be confirmed on Monday 30th June.

Olympic vs Croatia! Stoked.

Damn. Adelaide City away for WSW. Interstate.

No Perth teams by the RO16.

Inb4 uh oh sokkah is gunna fold der no team in perf

Will be the game for that week for sure.

yeah it was a loose term bruz I'm from WA .. not the city tho but sweet IMO
but looking at it yeah shafted/not easy games for these clubs
guess they'd have to do a Socceroos WC 2014 type effort

Very frustrating that the HAL teams are playing so early. I await the day when this cup isn't fixed to allow a state side into the semis.

where will the Perth games be played ? Glory's base

Looking forward to City v WSW, living walking distance from their home ground I'll definitely be there :)

Also nice and close to the maximum security prison and the main police station of the north eastern suburbs :lol:

so, lose.

The WSW vs. Adelaide City will probably move to a Wednesday and relocated to Pirtek because of ACL commitments.

yeah man I can't understand that either .. was looking at the opening fizxtures
and went how the fuck does Roar play A-League team and then go on to play a state league team (2 games)
I thought loser bows out winner goes on.. if Roar lose how do they play again
not knock out ?

loose bro your reply has a number of assertions.. and I find it hard to intelligently understand

Shouldnt be

They don't play again. They play Member team straight away and then go onto R16.

It's all straight knockout.

-PB

wat? If Brisbane lose they will be eliminated. This is a knockout comp..

WSW aren't hosting, Adelaide are.

Will be held @ Hindmarsh Adelaide City Park probably.

Wait what....? Isn't it straight knock out?

Said the dumbcunt who started a complete new thread to post about the draw. Find another forum fuck knuckle.

That's more likely though there are no seats there atm.

Both Stirling and Bayswater may well want Glory's ground for their match, especially if Fox wants to broadcast it after the Woollongong CCM game, so it will be interesting to see if they change those. Having both Victory and Roar play games in different suburbs in Perth on the same day at the same time with no TV coverage sounds rather strange given what Fox Sports have paid for, let alone punters in Perth who'd probably want to catch both games.

Double header at Perth Oval, perhaps?

I assume the Pot A HAL clubs will be getting the televised matches? Would be more good news for Baysie and Stirling.

If Kwinana and Gosnells could each get 1k~1.5k to a pre-season friendly with Perth Glory, the two state league clubs should get a legitimately good turnout for a national cup game against tier 1 opposition.

Yeah will be ACP probably, thought they played there due to the Cup final but then I wiki'd them.

Impressive clubhouse/community centre setup they have.
