I'd be disappointed if the fixture doesn't drop this week.

If the APL had any brains, they would have created a fixture for 13 teams and a fixture for 12 teams. Now that we know we have 12 teams, there is no reason not to release it.

Are we right to assume that we will go back to the fixture we had 2 years ago where teams will play each other twice, then play another 4 teams for a third time, making it 26 games?

APL have already created two fixtures. I think the issue now is Western United going through another appeal. I'm not sure what would happen if the APL go ahead without WU, but then WU wins the appeal and entitiled to play... would they go after the APL then?? WHAT A MESS!!

Re the number of matches. AFC have just reduced the minimum required number of matches from 26 to 24 in the top division plus cups. Even with 12 teams, we can't have an equal home and away as that would give a team just 22 matches plus one guaranteed cup match for 23 total... unless we introduce a League Cup! Crazy idea, I know.

So we're stuck for now with an uneven schedule. But that doesn't matter too much because we have a finals series.
 
Brenton thx for these when I saw you posted I got excited thought it was the fixtures 😅
 
I really think this is another shot in the chest to not just the a league but Australian football

Everyone is pissed off that this is dragging on.

I want the fixture release so I can start planning away days.

But you can’t dump a team from the league without following due process. We just wish this process ran its course months ago.
