jw1739 Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) So do I understand tonight's draw correctly? The 4 (or 3 if WSW lose) A-League clubs go into Pot A and the non-league clubs into Pot B. So it's inevitable that we will be away to a non-league club?

Pretty sure due to 1 state league team making it through to the semis, there will be one A-League vs A-League fixture. Or have a missed one of the many seeding rules?

InMyHeart Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 IF there are 4 A league teams left out of the 8... 1 clash must be A-League VS A-League to ensure no more than 3 A league teams make the Semi's Therefore the Semi's Would be NPL Vs A-league A-League Vs A-League Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used Wellington at AAMI Park as a tester last season to see if it's viable to hold FFA Cup games there. I imagine they would have decided yes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattyh001 Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 You'd think so given that in the past where a league teams have met in later rounds that the team with "fewer" home state games have played at home but then again it is the FSydneyFA so who knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heart_fan10 Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 well last years quarter final against Wellington was at aami so surely they'll do the same here. Plus with Cahill we could probably get a decent crowd. Should make it free for all members, and that way it gives an incentive for those who haven't signed up yet to get a membership and come to this game. No doubt Wanderers will bring a few fans down as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jovan Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) Regional or suburban grounds are basically shit. AAMI is the best watching ground hands down. Don't get me wrong I'm all for grassroots and local clubs. I started my soccer education in the 80s tramping around all the melbourne NSL venues but that's gone now. We are Melbourne City. I see no point playing anywhere but our home ground of AAMI.

I get that its an unpopular opinion and I don't have a family etc. to worry about getting to the game. Practically speaking AAMI is the best choice, I just wouldn't mind it being played elsewhere for selfish reasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadete Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 WSW against us at a Suburban Ground would probably have been ruled out by the league straight away as a Security Concern anyway... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
