No way would these clubs invest without promotion and the cup.

Peninsula Power (lux - if they beat Lions FC),

can host NPL v NPL tie at AJ Kelly Park
cannot host NPL v A League tie at AJ Kelly Park (must be played at Dolphin Stadium)

lux at AJ Kelly Park is 227 lux
lux at Dolphin Stadium is more than 500 lux

Dolphin stadium should be powers home ground. 

Gungahlin United (lux - if they beat winner of Canberra FC/Belconnen United),

can host NPL v NPL tie at Gungahlin Enclosed Oval
can host NPL v A League tie at Gungahlin Enclosed Oval

lux is at 354 mark at Gungahlin Enclosed Oval (any home they get will be played at Gungahlin Enclosed Oval).

Queensland Lions are through to the R32 with a 6-0 pumping of Peninsula Power

these are the following state member federation clubs that need to find an alternative venue due to not meeting the minimum 350 lighting lux required should it be drawn a home game up against Hyundai A League opposition as follows,

Canberra FC
APIA Leichhardt Tigers
Bonnyrigg White Eagles
Hakoah Sydney City
Rockdale City Suns
Charlestown City Blues
Lions FC
Olympic FC
Gold Coast Knights
Adelaide Comets 
Devonport Strikers
Avondale FC
Armadale
Gwelup Croatia

Will only last 3 years

Surely

what a joke.
If they can do it in england, why not here?  its BS that these smaller clubs need to move there venue cause of 'lux' ratings.

this cup will never be taken seriously, until they change this, and making it a random draw.

NNSW entrants into the Round of 32 will be decided tonight.

Charlestown City Blues vs Lambton Jaffas
Broadmeadow Magic vs Hamilton Olympic

Both games at 7:00pm, Charlestown City and Hamilton Olympic will both be trying to qualify for the first time.

if i am not mistaken, i believe Charlestown City Blues is where Ljubo Milicevic plays. 

Yes. that is correct

Sure is.

Other former A-League players in contention (off the top of my head so may have missed a couple): 

Lambton Jaffas - Joel Griffiths, Ryan Griffiths and Jobe Wheelhouse. GK Brad Swancott also played for the Newcastle Breakers in the NSL
Hamilton Olympic - Leo Bertos.
Broadmeadow Magic - James Virgili, Mitchell Oxborrow and Ruben Zadkovich as coach.

1-1 at half time in the Broadmeadow vs Hamilton game. Pretty fiesty so far, few yellows have come out already. Former Jet Mitch Oxborrow with a goal from a free kick to open the scoring.

Charlestown 0-0 Lambton in the other game early in the second half.


Edit: 2-1 full time to Broadmeadow, other game 0-0 and now in extra time.

Edit 2: Charlestown through 3-2 on penalties after a stalemate, keeper Danny Ireland the hero of the match.

A-League Round of 32 Matches:

Perth v Victory
Brisbane v City
Adelaide v gypos

I’m liking the two Fox hosts ...

Roar v City at Dolphin Stadium. Just announced.

First time ever the Jerks will get an NPL team. Hopefully Perth will wipe Victory but I expect the VAR to save them again. 

Can someone post the r32 draw?

Rockdale v Sydney will be a good fixture.
Would most likely be hosted at Leitchard Oval?

Bentleigh Greens could upset the Nix

Northcote City v Devonport
Port Melbourne v APIA Leichardt 
Lions FC v Olympic FC
Heidelberg v Charlestown
Gwellup Croatia v Adelaide Comets
Canberra v Broadmeadow
Cairns v Armadale
Bonyrigg v Hakoah
Avondale v Marconi
Hellenic v WSW
Gold Coast Knights v Newcastle 
Bentleigh v Nux
Rockdale v Sydney

I'll definitely have a punt on that.

Sucks to get Perth Glory away, I wish they'd get rid of the rigged HAL v HAL draw system. It's boring.

On the other hand I'm spoiled with some tasty matches in Melbourne, and I hope to get to as many as possible. Bentleigh Greens v Nix as mentioned, big traditional Sydney teams coming to town with Port v APIA and Avondale v Marconi which will both be high quality, Heidelberg v Ljubo will be a good night and a chance to see how the Tassie boys from Devonport stack up against Northcote.

Taio (spelling) is great value, very knowledgeable and personable, haven't seen Heather Miller before but she did a good job. Probably one of Fox Sports' multi sport reporters given that everyone else is off for the world cup.
