Utter stupidity, should have been Heidelberg v Adelaide for the first live fox game, who the hell wants to watch the same shit we will see 3 more times in the A-League season.

Agree, a PL side should always have first consideration imo in this comp to give these clubs the exposure/lime light deserved but we know Fox runs it the way that suits them for the expected higher audience.
Real shame.

Exactly, I wouldn't have even minded Gold Coast vs South Melbourne getting shown over our game but it will be great for Blacktown if they cause an upset over us live on fox.

I thought teams were forced to move the game to venues with specified "Lux" lighting when against A League opponents but not when it was another NPL team.

If the Gold Coast City home ground fits 2-3k (and I have no idea if it does) why not play South Melbourne there ?

Bias against us is hilarious. First they don't show AUFC vs MVFC because they want to show a state league game, fair enough if you want to show NPL teams that makes sense. But yet when we play an NPL team we get dumped. Lack of consistency, I am unsure whether we have been on TV at all for an FFA Cup game before the semi finals with the exception of the game in NT?

How is it bias? With Effsee vs City they can sell it as a cup final re-match & with Demons vs WSW they can sell it as a mini Western Sydney derby, wtf you gonna sell Bergers vs Adelaide as? Even GC vs Souff would have been a better game to show over yours.

Bergers 'drained' ahead of FFA Cup clash

Part-timers Heidelberg United are mentally "drained" after losing the Victorian NPL grand final and will struggle to get themselves up for their FFA Cup showdown against Adelaide United, coach George Katsidis says.

Heidelberg players would ordinarily be battling Mad Monday hangovers this week after they were defeated 2-1 in extra time by Bentleigh Greens in Sunday's state-league decider.

Instead, they must dust themselves off and go again in Wednesday night's FFA Cup quarter-final at Olympic Village, where a crowd of around 5000 is expected.

The Bergers have already beaten one A-League team, Perth Glory, this year and no NPL team has ever done it twice in the same FFA Cup run.

Nor has a team from outside the A-League ever made the semi-finals without assistance from the tournament's manufactured draw.

Katsidis is hopeful the lure of history and a boisterous home crowd can help his players squeeze out one more quality performance from what has been a terrific season.

But he has his doubts.

"To be honest I think mentally, they're just a little bit drained at the moment," Katsidis told AAP.

"I'm not one to make excuses.

"It's just that for semi-professionals to get up for so many games per week - let alone per year, I think this will be our 43rd game for the year. It's just way too many.

"It's my job now to get them up more mentally than physically, to be honest.

"You would say that coming up against an A-League team, the excitement of beating Perth Glory ... it should be easy enough, but who knows? They're only semi-pros.

"As long as there's two teams on the pitch there's a 50-50 chance."

Heidelberg's long season still won't be done if they lose, with an away trip to face Perth side Bayswater City in the Australian NPL finals coming next week.

The former NSL club's best hope of FFA Cup survival would be catching Adelaide on an off day.

But the new-look Reds are nearing the end of an unbeaten pre-season under new coach Marco Kurz, including wins against three different A-League opponents.

Sydney FC host Melbourne City at Leichhardt Oval in Wednesday night's other quarter-final - a rematch of last year's FFA Cup final.

Should be a good game, not sure about bergers managers comments though, maybe he's trying to instill a bit of complacency in the AU squad?
