2012/13 Fixture List

Will be announced on June 18. 

Hopefully the FFA schedule the Sydney derby a few weeks into the competition. Would like to see the Nix play Grrrivals in the first round, but it sounds like there will be a grand final rematch at nib Stadium instead.

Fingers crossed for the Jets at home to start off.

And the Jets at home just before Christmas.

Damn!   No Gold Coast holiday this year

Fingers crossed for a draw conducive to a Sydney/West Sydney Nix roadtrip

We play Phoenix Wk-1

Sydney FC at home first up, if this article is to believed

I wanna see an Adelaide game in Wellington, game down in ChCH, the regional games on a weekend and another marathon day round.

I'd prefer to see a game in Dunedin ahead of Chch, as long as it is played in late Feb/early March when all the students are in town and OWeek-ing

I just don't want too many games over xmas/new years. 

Just had a thought, the A-League doesnt normally stop for the FIFA windows. We could be struggling to put out a squad around the qualifying games.

First bunch are in September, before the season starts. If the March games clash with Phoenix games, the FFA may look at rescheduling some games to midweek in Feb/March. Either way, the players will be playing a lot of games.

It is a FIFA window but its only a short one, so sounds like it would be unlikely for a All Whites game.

Also, had a horrific thought. What are the odds the FFA will do a double header between the 2 Sydney & 2 Melbourne teams at ANZ if they do a marathon day again? If its around Xmas again, it could be on Boxing day and you wouldn't want to play in Melbourne that day.

"Also of interest will be when all the other derbies are planned including the distance derby between the Phoenix and Glory"

Hurry up Tuesday -  the suspense is killing me.  Don't care about the other games, just about Perth grrr rrrrivals.

(FFA - twunts)

right now i'm just happy that - unlike last off-season - i can relax knowing that we will be a club that is in existence playing at the Ring of Fire next  season

There is a 'leaked' Adelaide Utd fixture list doing the rounds. It only has 1 midweek game, that being Boxing day. Maybe the FFA has seen the small crowds and done away with midweek football.

Maybe Boxing Day will be the day that Big Wednesday is held. Would be great to have it on a public holiday so there would be crowds at the games and everyone can watch the rest of the games on TV all day.

It would be competing against the Boxing Day test match from Melbourne, so not sure how big a TV audience it would get.

From what I heard after the Wednesday this year, a lot of people wanted it to be held on a public holiday (i.e. Boxing Day) so they could watch instead of working.

Haven't the FFA always been very careful to avoid major clashes with other codes? I can't see them trying to compete with the boxing day test.

We're allegedly playing you guys a second time at ROF on Dec 9, which is a whole lot more do-able than game 1.

The leaked Adelaide United fixtures have us playing at Hindmarsh on Dec 16, so if we have an away game the week after that, 12 Pubs of Lochhead will be happening on that Dec 9th game. 

Sky only showed the nix game for Big Wednesday and the rest of the games were delayed!  Who are the Australians playing against in the boxing day match? 

Nope, we aren't worth a Boxing Day Test, it is a 20/20 game insteead.  Plus it would be the wrong times anyway - would be ovenight/early morning here.

We get Sydney FC at home in Round 1, and then Heart away in Round 2. 

We have CCM at home on Saturday December 22, looks like we will be having the 12 Pubs of Lochhead on that day.
