You go little clubs, you go. Shame your hamstrings are so poor, I know how desperate MV were to get in on some silverware themselves, has been a while.

If Perth play like they did against Adelaide the other week, it's going to be Adelaide picking up their first silverware since 2005. Personally, I'm backing Adelaide. They've got a good thing going, and I think Gombau deserves ALL of the silverware this season. fixed.

As I wrote @TheNewDaily_ yesterday, understand timing of 2015 #FFACup will change. Final likely to be in Oct, not Aus Day. Watch this space.

Adelaide United charging the same prices for a final as Sydney United did for their match against SFC? GG Adelaide.
Perspective.
Sorry Perf, I'm backing the Reds for this.

There was some discontent about the prices and the very short notice for this game. I'm sure the FFA are using this years a comp as a dummy run, so as to fine tune it for next year. I"ll go on record now as saying next year will favour the Eastern states. I'm pretty sure they did that for Sydney this year, whingy Arnie got the memo that relyed on a ref that has traditionally hated Adelaide and he put out a weaker team, but the ref changed his mindset & Sydney lost the advantage Edited by redcup: 13/11/2014 04:23:44 PM

 Haven't seen these comments from de Bohun but they are valid and very nicely played by Perth to try and drum up the attendance on the weekend :)

I really can't consider his comments as having too much truth. I think the real reason is that Fox played a major, major role in this decision re: viewing audience in the friendly 7.30 timeslot, as opposed to the unfriendly 10.00? ( daylight saving has stuffed up my timezone knowledge too much ), and business is something Sage should understand.

( daylight saving has stuffed up my timezone knowledge too much ), and business is something Sage should understand. C'mon man It's actually a picture from the perth glory website http://www.perthglory.com.au/article/adelaide-to-host-perths-bid-for-cup-glory/1tpios90cjxgc1f5g5buv3dp2iQuote:“The selection of the Westfield FFA Cup final venue was based on the objective of maximising the attendance and the TV audience. It’s a cup final and we want as many Australians engaged as possible” he said.
“In relation to crowds, Adelaide United set a new A-League city record of 33,000 in round 2 and filled Coopers Stadium with 16,000 last weekend” he added.
Mr de Bohun also said there were Fox Sports broadcast commitments to satisfy.
“The time zone was also a factor is this decision, as were the requirements of our broadcast partner Fox Sports, and the overall desire to make this a great event. We had pencil bookings at all four venues going into the semi-finals, but Adelaide is the right choice on all the objective measures.
“Naturally, fans in Perth are disappointed and we respect their views as passionate supporters. Of course, every fan would want to have the FFA Cup final on home turf, so we understand the reaction. It’s another sign that in its first year the FFA Cup has become an instant classic on the football calendar. ”

The main thing I wanted to highlight is that I liked the way they're trying to harness the rage that some are feeling over in the west.
