Yep, looks like South Hobart might stream it. They're running a test right now so keep an eye on their channel on matchday.

The game will be streamed via http://www.southhobartfc.com/ but we will post some more detailed information as soon as we know it!

Awwww fuck yeah hoes!

If Wellington can play in this tournament, shouldn't that mean the Malysian team in the NPLQ should be able to compete too?

Does that mean Brisbane Roar NYL can too?

THERE is a buzz around South Hobart Football Club going into tomorrow night’s FFA Cup round of 32 clash against Tuggeranong United.

South trio Hugh Ludford, Brayden Mann and Caleb Ludlow are all relishing the occasion that awaits them under lights at KGV.

Captain Ludford, the rock of South’s defence, was a part of last October’s NPL Cup side that lost to Sydney United 58 in the final.

“I think [we’re] a little bit more excited, there’s a little bit more hype around the FFA Cup [than the NPL Cup]. It’s going to be a big game, everyone is buzzing,” he said.

Mann, the Victory League golden boot leader, is one of a number of South’s players who were not part of the NPL Cup side last year.

“We aren’t even semi-professional, we’re just amateurs and we’re coming up against some big teams in the competition but we have quality in our team.”

Midfield maestro Ludlow, 19, is hopeful being on the national stage will do his National Youth League contract aspirations the world of good.

“Any game I play is important to my career and these national games are especially important and you don’t know who could be watching,” Ludlow said

Ludlow lives and breathes football, spending five to six days a week training and coaching South’s juniors at Morton’s Soccer School.

FFA in sudden rule change shock

:lol: why do I have the idea that if the field was named "Anglo Park" there would be no issue?

FFS it wasn't going to be televised.

If the lighting was good enough for a football match then it should go ahead there.

FFA in sudden rule change shock

http://www.inmycommunity.com.au/news-and-views/local-news/STIRLING-Lions/7663033/

The article mentions the decision was made in conjunction with the players association. It looks like the a-league players (Roar and Victory) may have complained about lighting quality at the proposed Macedonia Park. There are Australian Standards (AS 2560.2.3-2007: Sports lighting - Specific applications - Lighting for football) that have to be met for Professional competitions. For a professional competition lighting must be an average of 500 Lux. For a semi-professional comp its only 200 Lux, and amateur is only 100 Lux.
For a practice match involving professionals, the lighting requirement is only 200 Lux (which Macedonia Park probably meets), but as soon as it is a competitve fixture involving professional teams the Australian Standard states that it must be 500 Lux for Health and Safety reasons.

Finger's crossed for St. Albans tonight, nothing personal against Parramatta but it'll be a blight on the competition if a team that actually lost two games progresses too far in a knockout cup.

I skimmed your post, and the article TBH, but I thought I read that this Macedonia Park had previously been approved for this competition.

I can't stand Dinamo but I agree, Parra have no right to be in this competition.

Yeah, I think the FFA initially mistakenly approved it, but it looks like the Professional Players Association have said we're not playing there, it doesn't meet the Australian Standards for Lighting for a competitive match. It would have probably still been used if Stirling or Bayswater had drawn against non a-league teams, as Macedonia Park would meet the standards for semi-professional competitive matches.

Surely this competition should be treated under the one set of rules - isn't that the whole idea of the Cup?

Yes they do. They played the system they were dealt with. Its the FFA that can't count.
