jw1739 Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Admission from Greg O'Rourke (Head of the A-League) in an articleĀ in today's Herald-Sun that the KO time is designed purely to attract a bigger TV audience and that FFA is aware that it is "family-unfriendly" (my words) in terms of the likely attendance at the actual match. The quicker we get an independent league and start thinking about the actual football fan the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quicker we get an independent league and start thinking about the actual football fan the better. Although I dislike the running of FFA, I think it's got more to do with the league being run by Foxtel. As I think Tes(?) mentioned, there's even Foxtel people in the tunnel to tell players when to head out etc. In terms of TV deals, time slots and player/team coverage I think there needs to be greater competition to Foxtel, but unfortunately there is none. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand this at all. We don't know who or when or where or even if we are playing that weekend. If results go to current ladder positions, we'll be playing Sydney up there. If that isn't Friday, then it will be Saturday or Sunday. If Saturday, then who'll be there from the men's team. If Sunday, wouldn't the last thing you need be a late night immediately before a game?

I think @bt50Ā was spot on in saying we will more than likely play Friday night no matter who it is and that was the reasoning.Ā Ā The fixturing around finals usually works in order of the following priorities: 1) Ground availability 2) ACL Committments 3) Ladder Position/Club preference 4) Maximising attendances/viewers In the case of next week, Etihad is ONLY available Friday, so if their is a derby it will be Friday night. Lock it in. AAMI is available all three days. Allianz is unavailable Friday, but available Saturday and Sunday, whilst ANZ is available for Friday and Sunday. I strongly doubt Sydney will play at ANZ unless its a Sydney derby however. Tbh I actually thought Allianz was available Friday night as well, but given it isnt it will likely be Victory hosting Friday and Sydney Saturday/Sunday no matter what. Victory will play at AAMI unless playing City. The fact the POTY is on Saturday night makes me think it will have to be a Sunday final for Sydney, otherwise they wouldnt have announced it. Ā Last years POTY was on the Saturday night before the Perth final, obviously the players werent drinking. 1 hour ago, eric forman said: What was so good about it?Ā Dunno, was just a really good night. Really well ran, Scott Munn's speech was really inspiring, you were able to mingle with and chat to the players, red carpet photographer with the players etc, and then an after party with the staff. I got the feel it was their 'xmas party'. Plus i got fucking maggoted. Edited April 19, 2017 by bt50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO the clubs will eventually force FFA to accept an independently run league, and then we might see appropriate changes. In the meantime the clubs have no option but to cop it.
