How many world cup finals have been played at "athletics stadiums"? Some grounds here literally dont have any grass on them.

Just had a look at an extended weather forecast, yep storms for the cup semi🤣

Well we had about 30 shots and dominated them. In any case tomorrow is kinda our npl grand final. I agree if we win we wont send our best team to Oakleigh, guarantee a Retre type wont be risked and we will see the Lackay and Messourouni types played. Oakleigh v Avondale gf looks like a good...

Preston need a bit of an overhaul, front line is rubbish, too many ex Avondale players that vanish in big games. Ryan Scott papers over a lot of the cracks at the back.

Avondsle should be up 8-2. Will be interesting if Preston peg one back.

These are the games that keeps us relevant as a club and brings people through the gates. Nobody gives a rats about the npl. Dont even think we will get much of a crowd tomorrow being fathers day.

Doesnt say what day. Hopefully its the Friday.

Those rules are for next year. Doesnt look like a big crowd but not sure what can be expected at 2pm.

One of the South co presidents has said South will play Sydney United on matchday one. Doesnt say where but assuming will be home, gotta be looking at 7,000 mark.

A league and Australia cup.

Would this be country wide?

From what i can see he would miss the npl gf if we made it.

Chuck South v sydney cro on first at lakeside and i reckon it beats the record crowd against Olympic last year. A Friday night would almost guarantee it.

Interesting watching suited and booted Stefan Zinni said lakeside playing surface is the worst hes played on this yr and described it like a cricket pitch. Worst is complete overkill but its really looked ordinary at times this season. One game about a month ago where it was so sandy and bumpy...

Any team that gets night games will be big winners, especially that time of year.

The penalty nonsense is so gimmicky its going to be hard to take this edition of the championship seriously.

I'd be dissapointed if we dont get to host the 1st match being the reigning champion.

Gonna have to get a lot of practice on synthetic in to prepare for those away games.

When a coach is sacked and rehired days later i think the situation long term still remains untenable. What happened mid season was a disgrace.

At the end of the day it could end up being an Oakleigh v Avondale gf which would make them look even more stupid. Last yr showed people want prime time grand finals. No way that many were turning up for a day game.
