Peter Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/melbourneheart/news-display/Melbourne-Heart-and-Football-Federation-Victoria-to-host-VPL-Grand-Final/48878 So we are to host the VPL final before the match against Wellington. Whilst I am in favour of this it seems a bit strange as from what I remember NYL games are not permitted before A-League games as the turf isn`t up to it. It seems that that is not a problem for the most important game of the VPL season though. Perhaps if there is no complaint from the VPL we could host the NYL before the main Heart matches and expose our NYL to home crowds as well as introduce the players to club members and supporters. A NYL match would be better "pre-match" entertainment than the current dribble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadete Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 (edited) Personally as someone who attends almost all NYL MHFC games as well as MHFC A League Games I much prefer them to be on the Sunday as a game in their own right. Otherwise myself and Tthe many others I know in the same position would just miss out on seeing the NYL team as we would be at the regular Pre Match at The Gimp instead. MOD NOTE: I edited the topic to make it more relevant to the question asked in the OP. Edited September 4, 2012 by cadete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted September 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 I would like to see the games before the firsts as the travel time to Melbourne prohibits us attending both the NYL and the first team and after the main match I think most people would head home anyway.

jw1739 Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 (edited) The VPL GF is after our match against Wellington. And an emphatic 'no' to double headers involving our youth team. Like Cadete I try to attend all home NYL matches, and prefer them to remain on a Sunday as per last season. There is no way I could get my wife to attend a double header, and she would not want to go to or from AAMI Park by herself. So, a double header would either mean I'd miss out on NYL games or we'd lose Mrs. JW as a member. Edit: So, circumstances differ for all sorts of reasons!

cadete Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 (edited) I can not see many posters on here wanting their Kebabs and Kosta on a Sunday afternoon in Northcote being taken away. Edited September 4, 2012 by cadete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torn Asunder Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 One or two games during the season could be OK. Maybe a game against Victory would bring on a few more punters. Also, perhaps a game before the derby. Would be good exposure for the Youth Team to play in front of a large crowd... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentor Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 I would appreciate this as someone else mentioned, i live outside Melbourne so coming in both days of the Weekend or 2/3 including fridays is not an option imo, but would love to watch the youth team even if it was 50/50 or something? every second game or something?
