The A-League finals are being rescheduled to accommodate the Socceroos' World Cup qualification match on February 6.
FFA chief executive officer Ben Buckley said the move was necessary as the original A-League schedule would have had the World Cup match fall in the middle of the finals.
The semi-finals originally set for the 1st and 3rd of February will now be played on the 8th and 10th.
The A-League Preliminary Final will be on February 17 with the Grand Final now scheduled for Sunday, February 24.

Yeah, they change the A-League schedule when there is a clash with
an Australian qualifier. They need to do the same for All White
games too.

Remember we are a NZ team in an australian competition. So we will
not be treated equally. But you are right we shouldn`t be playing
when the All Whites play in a FIFA window.

As Ricki said though, Sydney were missing 5 to the Australian side
for the Argentina game, if they don't get it (with the Lowy links)
we're not likely to.

That was a friendly though. It was in a FIFA window wasn`t it?

Yes, FIFA window, as are the Fiji games.

- don't see what the Australian concern is about the timing
of the finals - there's only going to be one Australian side
involved ....
Go the Nix !!!!

Yes, to be precise the second leg of the semis, the prelim semi and the final. So there should be three Aussie teams involved overall before we come down to one.
But what point were you making wellyphoenixfan? Someone had already observed it was the finals - or have I misunderstood what you mean?

Yes, now I do - the FFA should/could only re-arrange the playoffs. I still think the A-League should observe the international calendar like other leagues do. It's the highest level of competition in Australia and NZ. The top divisions in Europe all observe the calendar and I believe the other continents do too - though I don't know to be sure.
Why were those all blacks missing? I don't follow or even like
rugby, but I'm curious - was it only NZ teams that were
effected?

Where is the final being played?
The Grand final is played at the home ground of the first team
to make it to the Grand Final
It works like this.
Week 1 of Finals 3 V 4
1 V 2
Week 2 of finals 4 V 3
1 V 2
The looser of the two games of the 3 V 4 is out,the winner of
3 V 4 plays the looser of the 1 V 2. The winner of 1 V 2 goes to
the grand final and has home ground advantage.
Therefore
Week 3
Winner 3 V 4 VS Looser 1 V 2 (looser 1 V 2
gets home ground advantage)
Week 4
Winner 1 V 2 Vrs winner of week 3.
Also as mentioned the winner 1 V 2 will get the home grand
final.
In the first week of the finals the higher team dedcided what
game they wish to make the home game. So in 1 V 2, the team coming
first would deciede if it wanted the first or second week as
the home ground
