A-league draw - 2021/22

[belchardo]

I realise that we're in a bit of a weird time, but surely they could get the first few weeks out.

It would be nice to have something to get a bit excited about.

I'd settle for an update!

They can't as the season will probably be delayed a month and hubs will be needed for some clubs.

Home against the scum at 4pm on Sunday, 21st November to open the season.

Christmas Eve v Wanderscum at home will be interesting.

Round 1 - 21/11 - Sunday 4:05pm - Coasties at home
Round 2 - 28/11 - Sunday 6:05pm - Wanderers away
Round 3 - 4/12 - Saturday 7:45pm - Sydney away
Round 4 - 10/12 - Friday 7:45pm - Nix at home
Round 5 - 19/12 - Sunday 4:05pm - Macarthur away
Round 6 - 24/12 - Friday 6:05pm - Wanderers at home

I'm pretty happy with the first 6 rounds. All in NSW, kickoff times should suit anybody that wants to travel. Christmas eve is nice - hope it works.

Looks like clubs could choose their start times and they haven't worried about concurrent kick-offs or overlapping matches. No kick-off before 4pm (hopefully they get later over summer proper). Good signs.

If i don't have to quarantine, i might well be making the trip up for the coasties match. Should be able to get to the christmas eve match too.

Wanderers twice in the first 6 rounds? Crap

[Maito Mitch]

Whyyyyyy do we always open with a derby? And there's a round one Sydney derby? Why??? Surely a derby in the second round keeps the excitement going. There'll already be hype for the first round, regardless of who's playing who.

Also I noticed there's two games on at the same time now on Saturday nights. Good for getting games out of the heat!

[Jetmaster]

Ok - so how I see this is there will be a Goal Rush type of coverage on 10 Saturday nights with multiple games. If you just want to watch the one game you watch it on Paramount.

Worth a try as the FTA people will get to see two for the price of one.

Anyone know if there's season parking this year? Can't say I've noticed anything mentioned. (speaking logos, are we ever gonna update the jets on it or not???)

When did the Wanderers game get moved from Christmas Eve to Boxing Day, and why?
