Brisbane/Victory game

Absolutely fucking pathetic. Typical fucking Newcastle. Full-strength, good hype against an understrength team with Taylor fucking Regan defending and we STILL CANNOT FUCKING WIN. I just saved $150 because I was going to buy a season ticket but fuck me, just the same typical shit. Pass the ball side-to-side, play some long balls which go out, keep our striker completely isolated and give Kantarovski the ball to pass to thin fucking air. FFS buy a marquee number 10 for once in our history. 

We'll never win anything ever again, bloody quote me. James Holland cursed us back in Feb '08 and we will never recover. We could sacrifice hundreds of animals at the Hagia Sophia and God will still despise us 

Dunno. Was it really as bad as Roar against Victory?

We won 1-0

Brisbane haven't been completely useless for 9 years champ

Signing Ernie Merrick should have given you enough warning.

Yeah you're right.

Newcastle is a loser team. Though the Roar will soon join you if we continue like this.

The feed from ABD Stadium gone with the wind lol

It's literally one bad result in a glorified pre season match against a full strength quality opponent.

It looks pretty good on tv. What is the capacity there overall?

Simon Hill's offsider Arthur Papas blown off his chair, it really is that bad!

TV doesn't do justice to how difficult it is out at Hume in winter with the wind, was there a few weeks ago probably the most uncomfortable night I've ever had at a game, just brutal, probably the down side of our league a lot of the venues aren't protected from the elements. As for the players good luck dishing up something decent playing in that.

We really must get rid of enforced HAL v HAL matches. I'd rate either of Hume City or the Greens tonight against either of Adelaide United or Newcastle Jets.

Wiki has 6,000, surely not all seated though.

Home of the 2002 OFC Nations Cup and 2006 AFC Women's Asian Cup.

Should have always been a random draw. With cupset more regular, there is no need for manufacturing magic.

Whats the average crowds for ro32 each year?

The seats behind the goals and on the "camera" side are the old Hindmarsh seats. There's definitely not 6000 seats.

Thats my multi. Thanks green$$$$$$$$.

2014 - 1,934
2015 - 2,428
2016 - 1,963
2017 - 1,904

So this year was the lowest but it is pretty much the same as 2014 and 2016.

The unique thing about 2015 was that 2 all A-league games got more than 6k (WSW vs Bris and CCM vs Phoenix).

yep.

No post 2016 sponorship deal has ever been stated.

Make a seeded regional r64
then
seeded r 32 (NPL v AL)

Thats 20 NPL v AL without cupsets. Then have an open draw. Regional round 64 is no extra cost for travel etc only broadcast costs.

Strange FFA holds this back as this should be their premier thing. Even though I want a free A-League, why didnt they include matches for ch 10, having 10 r64 then 7-10 in r 32 makes good tv. 

Have Blacktown ever had an away game?

Not saying which team is represented by which number before the draw. Suss.

It's alphabetical but I had a feeling we'd draw you.

Some decent fixtures in the round of 16.

Sydney United v Heidleberg
Bankstown Berries v Sydney
Bentleigh v WSW

the numbers would have changed depending on the result of the Hume vs Bentleigh game because they are done alphabetically.

Berries to play at Belmore?

Good chance for us to continue flying under the radar, no excuses not to Win this at home and then potentially set up that huge late cup tie in the quarters.

Looking back you're right about the alphabetical order, but they really should be disclosing this stuff.
