[marinermick]

This A-League season will be a Friday evening game, two concurrent 5:30pm games, a 7:45pm game, and two Sunday games at different times.

That's an interesting way of doing things. I thought the idea of having the dual 745 games made a lot of sense for TV broadcast options and heat. 5:30 is more family friendly I guess and Perth home games are just as likely to kick off later anyway. 5:30 also means it can be a night game in NZ if the nix are home.

That's a busy weekend schedule. Mid week games as well?

Doesn’t sound like wife material to me.

There must be though assuming they are stopping for FIFA breaks and a four week finals series, which they said they would be. Otherwise we finish on June 10-11th rather than May 27-28th as advertised. Possibly a number of games during the Christmas - early January. Either that or we are cutting rounds to 24.

Draw should be out this week according to Danny Townsend.

She came to the 7-2 Sydney game years ago and thought it was boring! Her friend and her husband, a very vocal and smug SFC fan who i hadn't met before came up for it, now that was an enjoyable game! I wonder if there's a replay of that floating around somewhere.

I would think we'll still see a small number of midweek games like where someone playing in Asia needs to get ahead a bit or maybe in the Christmas holidays but it'll be the exception not the norm. I like watching them on TV tbh but they arent good for home crowds and the early kick offs were bad all round.

Cutting rounds to 24 FMD...... sometimes its impossible to understand those that run the game.....

If we want to be eligible for the Asian Champions League we need a minimum of 27 games.

Sounds like the honeymoon is coming to an end mate and real life will be kicking in…

I swear I read it on a media release from football aus/APL not too long ago, but can’t for the life of me find it now. It’s rather more likely I dreamt it.

What about the break for the World Cup as well?

I'm looking forward to seeing it. I've got a couple of interstate trips booked so i'm hoping they match up with a Mariners away game.

Ayongo, Ruhs and Beni all scored with Garang involved in the 4th causing an own goal. Macarthur have Mackay Magpies next weekend and we have Sydney FC on the Sunday. I suspect they may have been a bit more experimental than we were.
