I’ve never been to Lily’s Football Centre at Seven Hills before. Has anyone on here? It looks like a decent field for Blacktown City. Very cosy.
It’s a nice setup. Back in the day it was a grass pitch and was the best to play on. Now it’s artificial and not as good

And I doubt that Rowles and Stensness will play in this match given quarantine.
Probably right. The earliest they would be done is the 28th of July. If they left the next day (unlikely) then the best case is having them for the weekend of 14/8. It might be doable and paramount plus isn’t launching until the 11th.

Weekend of the 14th makes sense for the games, week after the final 2 spots are decided and the first weekend of Paramount being live.

Correct me if I'm wrong but currently we have 9 contracted players for our FFA Cup game against Blacktown City:

Goalkeepers:
Mark Birighitti

Defenders:
Lewis Miller
Daniel Hall
Kye Rowles

Midfielders:
Joshua Nisbet
Oliver Bozanic
Gianni Stensness

Strikers:
Matt Simon
Marco Urena

We might want to get a move on with those contracts...
Even allowing for Kye and Stens not being there the spine looks reasonably solid as long as Miller and Hall combine well.

9 announced contracted players...we must have signed more and being tedious about not announcing them?
I live in hope.

Assuming we are without Kye/Stens and everyone else who is uncontracted:

Birighitti
Bayliss Miller Hall Hatch
Balard Bozanic
Urena Nisbet
Simon Smylie

Bench:
Hart Arok Khoury McCarthy Cahill/Tsekenis

Would this be our side? Would we avoid a repeat of last time with this team?

Nice little stadium with licenced club next door.

Pitch is synthetic. We play an industry work tournament there every October. It is six a side and they can split the pitch in four using ropes and nets. They have a licenced bar on ground.

Pretty good little set up.

Don’t forget Ruon could also be available, assuming he has re-signed. Kye and Stens should also be in reasonable shape fitness-wise after their Olyroos games.

Used to be called Gabbie stadium when Blacktown were known as the Blacktown Demons .... when the Great Waste of Space [GWS] moved up from Melbourne the AFL brought the naming rights of the Demons off them...

But its a great little stadium and IMO the best located stadium for both public transport car parking...

Simple directions, travel down the M1, take the North Connects, turn onto I think its the M2, travel west until you get to the Blacktown turn off, turn left off the M2, and stay on the same road roughly 2 to 3 Kls off the M2, heaps of parking at Seven Hills station just past the stadium...

BTW we have lots of history with this club in many of our best came thu this club, and Macca played for them.

It’s also about 15 min walk from 7 Hills station

Blacktown have been a good club for nurturing juniors -I think Ryan,Amini and Ibini came to us from them .
