MKD Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Melbourne Heart Youth Preston Lions FC 7:30 PM / Tue 21 May To Be Confirmed (Map) This should actually be a very good game come to think of it. The Heart youth team will have some quality players and Preston has recruited well during this off-season. Both teams should aim high. Food is so much cheaper and so much better and there's usually a proper bar. It's the sickest. Yeh, some local clubs often have lamb on the spit and such. Not sure they do this much anymore though. There also seemed to be a generous flow of Rakia amongst the adults even when I used to watch my brother train as a little kid at Preston. At the very least, hopefully the seed and nut sellers will be out in force. I'll also probably be going to a few Hume City games this year, so they will definitely be there.

Argentinez Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Just so I understand a little better can we potentially move up all the way to the VPL if were good enough? Or will we always stay at this devision? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xXJawsaXx Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Would be kind of odd yet strangely exciting if we were promoted to the VPL and played sides such as South Melbourne etc . With that being said I could definitely get to that Ballarat game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) A bit early but what away games would be the best ones to get to? Factoring in food and size and quality of crowds. Edited January 24, 2013 by Jimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theresonlyonebzamora Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 away games wise i personally would probably consider brunswick, fitzroy, moreland, maybe preston if i got off work in time. thats mainly due to location, i don't know what the facilities are like at most of these.

They will be automatically included in the FFV 'Elite' competition, along with Victory's equivalent side. I was waiting for someone to post this... I also saw u on the forum Blackmissonary, and was I waiting for your post.

Blackmissionary Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Just felt like letting the locals have their say first, see how much they know about stuff below the A-League. To be honest, I'm a little surprised and disappointed with the lack of knowledge, both of the league standard but also of what the future holds with with regards to NCR reforms, which Heart and Victory are seen as important part of. State League 2 north/west is a tough league, not technically gifted, but fairly physical. Most teams pay players, but often enough the effect is negligible. Moreland took the runner up spot and they would have had one of the lowest pay rates going around in the league. Most crowds are poor, a couple of hundred being the upper limit for most games. There's some pretty bad grounds to play on, but by playing midweek Heart will miss out on most of those, as most clubs don't have suitable lighting for night matches. So no bogged down Brunswick City or Moreland City, or the potato field at Thommo's Partridge Reserve. They might be able to play the Altona East game on Magic's side of Paisley Park. Only one team hosts night matches, that being Westgate. So I reckon if you're looking forward to the culinary experience of state league football (whether in a patronising Michael Lynch way or otherwise), you'll be disappointed, because the games probably won't be held at most of these grounds. Darebin or Clifton Park synthetics more likely, unless say, Melbourne Knights were interested in hosting midweek matches.at Knights Stadium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackmissionary Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 what is this elite thing and about 2014? can we get promoted or? In response to the National Competition Review conducted by the FFA, the FFV will create a new competition and development structure to begin in 2014. Clubs will be classed as either 'elite' or 'community'. 'Elite' clubs (limited to two per zone) will be responsible for developing talent within each zone, by having exclusive access to all junior players (male and female from 12 upwards) within that zone. At senior level, a player points cap will add incentives to clubs to pursue local, younger talent. The elite divisions will be capped at 24 teams, The community teams will be shunted further down the soccer food chain. Victory and Heart are seen as an integral part of the elite program. Therefore promotion and relegation is irrelevant for this 2013 Heart winter team - unless of course the FFV backs out of the reform process.
