Anyone else notice the stand where the main tv cameras are is completely empty anf they have moved the crowds to each end of the ground and in the stand you can see? 7,000 crowd though.
Australia Cup - Other Australian games
Guy at the end of the wall ducked.
VERY harsh
Bah, damn you Josh Rose. Had money on Adelaide by 2+ goals.

Not sure he would have prevented the goal, but that is poor work
it seems like the preseason cup used to be in a way.
The final will get a few more, but still not a large attendance.
Chatham cup is still better.
This is sort of the feeling I get with it too. I guess it will take time to build it up. The simple solution would be for the A-League to have international windows. Then the quarter and semi finals could be played during the weekend of those international windows.
BG's V Pith rated 62K .... to put into perspective Super Rugby rates over its season in Australia about 74K... not a bad effort for a park team in the first year...

A final release of a limited number of tickets may occur closer to the match due to contractual and operational ticket hand backs. FFA will announce if and when any further allotment of tickets will be released via
Kick of now?
930 on Sky
Gonna go Adelaide 2-0
Adelaide getting more into the game now after a bright Perth start.
I am expecting Zadkovich to get a red card before the game is over.
Quite surprised to see Chris Beath get the gig. So far so good but it can't last.
Adelaide well on top at the moment.
So many lols with Mabil. Brilliant one minute, utterly inept the next.
Oh Risdon, what were you thinking?
Oh Risdon, what were you thinking?
First Hyphen, now Risdon. Why not just forfeit the games and save the trouble. No glory for Glory tonight.
It's been a nice game this one. Well worked goal
That was a horrible final. Well done to Adelaide though.
Glory were never in the game tonight, Adelaide deserved the win. Total domination
scrappy although it was good to see Adelaide played the regular A League style - get the ball up by the opposition 18 yard box and then work it back to your own goalkeeper. This A League tactic frustrates the fudge out of me. It is so negative.

Adelaide are going to drop a lot of points this season if they play like that. Against us they dominated but needed a late goal to win. I think that despite scoring plenty Adelaide are going to regret not having someone who can really bang them in.
Brisbane at their best were always a team who whenever they recieved the ball, looked to go forward.
Much rather watch the Nix than either of those two.

A lot like Krishna at times!

Hopefully this means a decent stream on this side of the ditch...
Unlikely that Fox will choose the Phoenix vs random NPL team to be one of the televised games.
We avoid other A-League teams in the first round because we came fourth last season.

Unfortunately not
*rolls eyes at FFA*
Does this mean that we will finish in a better position compared to last year even if we lose our first match?
Round of 32 draw today, 6pm. Nix are in Pot B and will be drawn against another A-League team.
