The VPL GF attracted 4k. In a 30k stadium the atmosphere was quite bland...

So Football West would have to pay massive rental and venue costs to hold a game to which they might attract 3k, which can easily be staged at a suitable local ground holding 5-6k?

In many respects the local grounds are superior to nib anyway, especially on the food front!

I doubt the NSWPL Grand Final would have reached 10k if it was played anywhere else, not even King Tom, but especially at SFS.

This is what all STATE LEAGUE COMPS need... to play the GRAND FINAL at the local A-League Stadium!
Eg. Ausgrid Stadium- Northern NSW Premier (State League)
SFS- NSW PL
Members Equity Stadium- Football West Premier League etc. etc.

Get more of the youngsters to the state league games, following football... as opposed to being brainwashed with eggball codes!

Just a thought... :-)


What do you think about the FourFourTwo article Cannons Shoot Into GF?
VPL WRAP: OAKLEIGH have booked a meeting with Green Gully in the Grand Final after a 4-2 penalty shoot-out win over Hume City as Peter Zois kept out two spot-kicks.

Have your say.
