Hopefully it's a cracking game, there's a number of us from this forum planning on making the trip. Hopefully the beer prices are as good as the ticket prices!

Great news mate! Keen as mustard! Yeah, there's a few lads off here going to the game (myself included, of course!).

Just wondering as well mate, do you guys sell merchandise? I assume you don't, but is there any chance of buying a jersey from the club? More than happy to pay for one. Would be an awesome to add one to my small, but ever-growing jersey collection from around the world. I daresay there'd probably be a few Wests Tigers/Balmain RL jumpers in the crowd.

Thanks for the info Tommy, looking forward to a good game!

Heineken - I'll PM you now.

I would have loved to see Franjic against NNSW NPL opponents atm.

Ticket in hand. Mon toigers.

:lol:



i didnt know the lid came off. I take back the bad things I said about it.

:lol: Well that's alight then.

Design the 2016 FFA Cup matchball!



Will the same matchball be used this year as was last year. Made by Umbro IIRC. I quite like it - it's simple, yet stylish.

Apparently this will be the design template for the 2016 ball.

I for one, think we should all send in this:

You've given yourself -5 for your username, but that post deserves a +1.

I really am creative.

Just posted all the grounds, and the kickoffs in the OP above each game. Western Sydney's game against Brisbane is still showing TBC. I've put it down as Parramatta Stadium, it can be changed if necessary - which I don't think it will be. I can't see any reason they'd move the game, unless they wanted to take it to Campbelltown, or Penrith, which wouldn't be bad ideas. :-k

I've put the AEST times next to the games that are kicking off in the NT, SA, and WA. Can somebody who is more knowledgeable with time zones confirm I've gotten them right. I always get confused, is it 2 or 3 hours between Perth and Sydney. Fairly sure SA/NT is 30 minutes behind AEST.

Has anybody confirmed what games they're going to get out too. Just realized that Newcastle will be playing their game against Perth Glory at Magic Park, along with Broadmeadow & Edgeworth. I think that's a good move. That might sway me to stay on the train for an extra 45 minutes. Ii was thinking about heading up to Gosford for their game against Wellington, but I think the Newcastle/Perth game will be a better contest, especially at Magic Park.

So I'll be going to all 4 matchdays.

• Blacktown v North Eastern MetroStars
• Balmain v Melbourne Victory
• Rockdale v Perth SC
• Newcastle v Perth/CCM v Wellington. I'll probably decide closer to the day.

Ok so I have been in contact with a certain source and can confirm that there will be a way to watch at least some of the games other than the ones first advertised, be that streamed on FOX SPORTS website (pretty sure it is this) or on red button. These matches will feature full commentary. Can't give away full details but all be revealed in the next couple of weeks.

Has to be Darwin. No one wants to watch the Sorrento game.

Considering Sorrento are playing the club with the highest TV ratings in the A-League, I think you're off the mark.

We'll make it easy for you. Sydney might want to watch Sydney but the rest of the country don't.

at nib, when darwin are playing au. It will be boring. It will just be another Arnie and Foxtel wankfest meeting old mates etc etc

SFC will most likely win. You also have wsw, mv, su58, syd olymp and south melb as potential opponents int he next round (if they all win). It is not necessary to show this dull match when sfc will probably feature in a more exciting match next round.

Surely Darwin-AU is a more predictable fixture than Sydney-Sorrento?

Good thing we're 25% of the country's population then.

Fox want to show the match that will rate highest, and that's likely to be ours. How is that difficult to understand?

Take a step back.

Surely Balmain will get flogged but people want to see it.

Are you okay mate, seriously :lol: ? Give it up, it's getting scary.

Darwin vs AU stinks of romance though. First time a NT side competes against the only side to lift the cup, not to mention that AU have history with the NT.

:lol: turn it up. What history?

Shhhhhhh

Had preseason there last year and this year, 'Do the NT' is our back of shirt sponsor and IIRC we signed a player from there for our youth team to promote our relationship with their football community.

Is it really that hard to understand how uninterested the majority of the country is in watching yet another Sydney FC wankfest from Fox Sports?

:lol:
