Perth Glory's last game at Knights Stadium was on the 21st of December, 2003, when a crowd of 3693 watched Mark Shield officiate a 0-2 win for Glory over Melbourne Knights, with both goals from Nick Mrdja beating the defence of Adrian Leijer, Roddy Vargas and Steve Pantelidis. The game also featured quite a few more familiar names.

If Sydney make it to the final, I really hope it's in Canberra. We play Victory in Melbourne on the 13th December (my birthday, I'll be down for that), and then the finals 3 days later. Will be able to drive from Melbourne to Sydney via Canberra.

Tuggs to beat Victory 1 nill.

FFA Cup final.

Has it been announced as to where it's going to be held?

Any ideas so far?

Tuggers to win 5-0.

You may have done a lot for the game, I guess we will have to take your word on that, but to suggest that others...be they 'new dawners' or otherwise haven't also done a lot for the game or are in some way less deserving than yourself is frankly fanciful.

And while we're at it, you can disparage the former NSL clubs or mono ethnic clubs as you like to call them with your thinly veiled racism, but to try and denigrate their contribution to Australian Football is quite frankly repugnant. There are many reasons why Football in this country needed a reboot and why our fully professional league is 'better' than the semi professional league which it replaced....but that does not demean nor devalue their contribution.

I have been a staunch advocate of the A-League and of many of the changes imposed on Australian Football by the FFA, and would like to think that I have been able to argue my viewpoints without being called racist or making what are widely perceived as thinly veiled racist attacks....why don't you try and do the same.

Quite frankly your thinly veiled racism is becoming very tiring.

Now let's please return this thread back to its topic, thanks.

Cup spot the reward in PS4 NPL Finals Series

FFA CEO David Gallop made the announcement at the launch of the PlayStation 4 National Premier Leagues 2014 Final Series which was held at AAMI Park in Melbourne earlier today, the decision to award the PlayStation 4 NPL Champions a direct Westfield FFA Cup Round of 32 spot providing added weight to the achievement.

“The PlayStation 4 National Premier Leagues Finals Champions qualifying for the Westfield FFA Cup Round of 32 is a fantastic motivator for clubs on top of the already distinguished achievement of being crowned the PlayStation 4 National Premier Leagues Champions,” Gallop said.

“The Westfield FFA Cup has been a tremendous success capturing the imagination of everyone in the Australian football community and to now have it relevant to the PlayStation 4 National Premier Leagues Finals Series provides yet another connection between the grassroots and professional tiers.”

Launched for the first time last year with clubs from Capital Football, Football NSW, Football Queensland, Football Federation South Australia (FFSA) and Football Federation Tasmania competing in the inaugural knockout finals series format, in 2014 the PlayStation 4 NPL Finals Series will feature eight teams with the addition of clubs from Northern NSW Football, Football Federation Victoria (FFV) and Football West.

Clubs qualify for the PlayStation 4 NPL Finals Series as the Premiers of each Member Federation’s respective NPL competition. The eight clubs to qualify for the PS4 NPL 2014 Finals Series are Cooma Tigers (Capital Football), Weston Workers (Northern NSW Football), Bonnyrigg White Eagles (Football NSW), Palm Beach Sharks (Football Queensland), MetroStars SC (FFSA), South Hobart (Football Federation Tasmania), South Melbourne (FFV) and Bayswater City (Football West).

The PlayStation 4 NPL Finals Series will begin with the four Elimination Finals to be played on the 20 September 2014 and culminate with the Final which will be held on either the 4 th or 5 th of October.

Nah, Gold Coast Sharks.

Great idea =d>

The NPL sponsorship is also excellent news!

Great news! So that means NSW will have an even amount of qualifying spots now, is that correct?

I think it's a shit idea.

Does that mean the rest of the state winners get a spot as well?? No.

Why is NSW any different??

It is a knock-out comp. The direct seeding of a NPL club only from NSW is just bizarre.

NPL clubs should form part of the state based knockout criteria to enter the round of 32.

If anything, there should be less clubs from NSW going by results.

Not sure what you're complaining about. You're going on as if this means NSW gets an extra spot, it doesn't.
