Awesome, Grand Final on a saturday night.

we got very little sunday games with heaps of Fri+Sat night games.
Also, 2 holiday games.

The FFA actually got something right!

 

[northernspirit]

Season is not too far away! wahoooo!!!

We have a great run home too!

 

[~Floss~]

Statistically a typical fixture for us is Saturday night at home, at 7 or 8 PM. (most of the fridays, sundays, and pre-7-o'clocker's are away).

Farken brilliant IMO.

 

[Mermaid]

Looks like im heading to Qld for my bday game this year woohoo!!! hope heaps of yous can make it to aug 31st game.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Grand Final on Saturday, VERY happy!

And looks like I'd be able to make that Nix game with a 3pm kick-off, I'm very pleased with this draw, about time the FFA made something that worked for me, can't manage either qualifier or the Ghana friendly but at least I'll see almost every Mariners A-League game (apart from when I'm on holidays).

Maybe a trip to Melbourne, November 21 two days before my birthday, if I can afford it.

 

[mickeverton]

WOW Great draw. Flights booked for Melbourne away cant wait.

 

[Wheresdadspants?]

Definately Adelaide away, too much fun there last season. Probably go to Melbourne as well, work permitting.

 

[Jesus]

Awesome. Even get the bling at home for pre-season cup.
Love the draw.

 

[pommypete]

End of season football trip to Melborne,sorted.

 

[coast]

r1 at scumdome, we MUST win.

 

[Omni]

r1 at scumdome, we MUST win.

With the way their squad is looking if CCM want to defend the premiership they have to win this one, Scumcastle will be at their weakest.

Just realised the PSC Final is on Wednesday, that's a little odd.
