Lots of LOLS as the FFA try to make some money out of an AU v PG final

I agree Schultzy, I hadn't thought about the option of the Perth game being part 2 of a double header, but perhaps 7pm and 930pm East Coast time might work better, even though that means 4pm and 630pm kickoffs in the West.

IMO the Wednesday night scheduling makes more sense than sticking rigidly to Tuesday and finishing the Quarter Finals a week earlier means there can be more flexibility in scheduling the semi finals on November 11 and 25.

I see Adelaide City will be playing Adelaide United soon and the other 2 NPL clubs will hopefully be getting some friendlies lined up now they have their games set. Other NPL teams and perhaps NYL teams, State "Allstars" lineups or Young Socceroos type games could all keep them sharp before their next Cup Matches.

We'll have an AU v AU final. :roll:

One thing the FFA cup has made me wish we had even more is boutique stadiums/grounds. Watching football is a much better viewing experience with the cameras and crowd closer, and it has made me love the early cup rounds even more.

I'd generally rather watch a game in a small ground packed to capacity with 7-8k (or even less) than a seemingly empty stadium with twice that.

Maybe with money raised... [-o<

The Final will most likely be Victory v Sydney or Adelaide, in fact it would be a certainty given the draw structure if Palm Beach beat CCM and assuming the HAL teams beat the MA teams in the Semis . No matter which way it goes down, it's gun b gud

Also a bit devvo that it was the Bentleigh Greens home game that was the double header with the Victory away game, I would have liked to have gone to that one in person, but can't now as I'd miss watching my own team. I'm sure many Melburnian football people are in the same boat, which is a shame as it will definitely dent the attendance at Kingston Heath.

That was my prediction for the final after last round :lol:

yep fat chance of getting many Victory fans out to kingston heath when you'd miss the first half driving back

Its all about mind games. Thats how most curses work

Or, not to blow Victory's horn, but you'd think the majority of non-aligned football people in Melbourne would be more interested in seeing the Victory game, given that they now have to choose between the two.

If I'm wrong, gentle reader, then by all means please rebut with your attendance at the Bentleigh game.

Introducing a miraculous new invention to all victorians.

How will Victory be in the final after they lose in the quarter final?

Is it like a time machine that also transports you to a football stadium or something?

Am I missing something here ?

Surely watch Bentleigh game at Bentleigh at 7.30 , then after go in the clubhouse and watch Victory @ 10.........

Be a great place for MV fans to gather.no ?

I would assume some people need to work in the morning. Perth game won't finish until midnight then commute home...etc some wouldn't be in bed until 1am.

good call well made

@heineken - mate is there any chance you can update the OP with QF game dates and times ?

ccm, adel utd, ???? and victory

Eh? Thought they were already there.

I'll get right on it.

awww buddy getting on the fapmobile already.

On a side note, how great is it to have a league complimented with a midweek cup \:d/

Done. I think I got the time zones correct.

AEST is 3 hours behind AWST? And 2 behind Queensland because they're weird about daylight savings.

Daylight savings is for nerds.

Nobody wants the sun to set at 8pm at night when it is still 32 degrees and 90% humidity.

WA is three hours behind VIC and NSW, and thirty years in style.

Mon Sharkies!

It now sucks for the PBS. This is now their off season at the pointy end of the cup.
