I'm slowly working it out on Wikipedia. Football NSW made it impossible to follow! :(

You can slow it down on youtube. Rewatch it.

Tomorrow night is the startand ill throw up results on wiki. I can do that shit haha :cool:

Done! That was a bitch! Because NSW's later rounds are like "Match 103" and whatnot, I had to do all the mathematics to convert them back to lower numbers each round. Fuck you, Football NSW!

Balmain Tigers FC (Match 49) get the bye.

Which means we go onto play Match 89: Balmain (M49) v (M26) Glenmore Park FC (who also had the bye)

Fraser Park v Bonnyrigg White Eagles. Keeeeeeeen. Portugal v Serbia. :lol:

Balmain FC play at Wentworth Park in Glebe, so keen to maybe go along to this one! When will the date for it be?

i didn't understand why they kept pulling names out and kept saying they have the bye. What does that mean? Does a whole heap of teams get to sit out the first round?

Well done thanks.

Yep. They set it up to have 56 winners go through to the next round (in the memo saying entries were open) to play the 24 NPL1/2 teams. But not enough teams under NPL2 entered to have 56 games, so they gave 16 of them byes to make up the numbers.

By the way, the Waratah Cup isn't on this year, is it? I thought it might be like Victoria where they decide the teams that qualify and THEN begin the local Cup with only the teams through. But that'd be difficult with 5 teams left...

You copied these from Wiki. :P
NSW made the matches like "Match 124" and shit. I will forever hate Football NSW for this!

I'm going to leave it as per the Football NSW numbers for Pursuit of the Cup :lol:

A good draw for Wagga City. If they can get past Shire team Loftus Yarrawarrah in the first game played on a weekend, they then potentially have 3 consecutive home Wednesday night games down in Wagga. Would be interesting the quality of players clubs can get onto the park with 10-12 hour return trips to Wagga mid-week. Also no teams above State League 2 until the 6th round. Only mid-week trip to Sydney would be in round 7 if they are still alive. Although South Coast Wolves in Rd 6 would probably end them despite the trip to Wagga.

I don't blame you. It's just a clusterfuck, this cup.

Heads up, it's not Central Coast Mariners Academy playing in Round 4, but Central Coast FC.

They should get passed Loftus, they are not even in the top division in local leagues. They are all age 2's.

Massive local derby awaits :lol:

I reckon a good derby would be Sydney CBD FC vs Sydney FC. Hahaha.

Imagine Parramatta FC vs WSW? Melbourne City vs Melbourne City?

Bigger than West Ham Millwall :lol:

A shame really that the two Victorian youth teams couldn't enter, we could have had three Melbourne City's! (And more importantly, two chances for the Victory :P)

By the way, there's been a lot of debate so far on each state's system, I'm curious what you all think is the best one (of the six that have been announced). I've set up a strawpoll here, so if you have a particular opinion feel free to vote: http://strawpoll.me/3622193

Fuck your Wimbledon AFC v Milton Keynes Dons FA Cup match, this is the real clash of identities.

Not to mention the only real Melbourne City play about 30 metres from my house.

Of course there's more than one team in Melbourne, there's hundreds, but there's only one real team named Melbourne City. <3

When do the NSW Games start?

All those Real Melbourne City blokes are great lads as well. Love the Vuk

Well i'm in melbourne atm until Uni starts again and just figured out where gisborn is ffs (nowhere near me). Definitely pass on that now unfortunately.

Was about to say. Playing for the uni side?

Didn't get picked :(

Oh well looks like you get live updates.

Western Australia clearly has the best Cup set up in my opinion, although uptake by the clubs has been limited. Regionalised qualifying in the early rounds, but then all teams coming together in the final rounds so that the best clubs qualify no matter of their location (unlike the Qld regional qualifying all the way through that ensures regional clubs may qualify at the expense of better Brisbane clubs). All of WA's round are played on the weekend (or Monday of long weekends) as well, meaning no issues with mid-week travel.

This is the only format that will increase the numbers of competing clubs in NSW and Vic. There are about 115 clubs in regional NSW (outside Sydney, Wollongong and Central Coast), the only 3 to enter were the 3 State League Clubs. Similarly in Vic of the 74 or so non NPL/State League clubs in regional areas only 1 has entered.

I agree. Tasmania and ACT are also like that, but covering a smaller area and having less clubs helps.

Northern NSW is also really good, except for the pooling of clubs to get a certain number of clubs from each area (e.g. in the Southern pool 3 clubs are guaranteed to be non-NPL).

Queensland is also pretty good, except that they should all come together for the final qualification games.

NSW and Victoria I think have the biggest change to make to really open it up to more clubs.

The weekend of the 14/15th of March.

Bad luck. But chin up, it's a long tournament.

That's it :D

It's still a massive day for the club so I am not that disappointed.

Is their an increase on last years numbers?

Game Day!!

The 2015 FFA Cup begins tonight.
