Not many big matches for state league clubs, all pretty straight forward winners however football is a magical thing!

I still think it's a silly way to do a draw. Look at Liverpool through the week getting rolled by a 3rd tier side. Isn't that what makes the cup so special?

Couldn't agree more! Wouldn't a Barnsley, Cooks Hill, Kotara South etc prefer to play a Broadmeadow Magic and test themselves than play another team from their own league? Maybe to make it more lucrastive they could run the gate at the NBN or NEW FM teams ground and keep the takings. That way they get some incentive to bring a crowd in and the host club doesn't loce out as they can keep the canteen money.

Charging to get into the State Cup is a disgrace!!

Was just an idea.

[CCB]

Any word on venues or dates yet??

[boz-monaut]

Was just an idea.

Sorry mate. Wasn't attacking ya. I just remember goin up to a NEWFM sides ground and got charged $5 to watch their ressies play a ZL1 side, and a ZPL ressies vs NBN 19's. I couldn't believe it when they asked for money.

[Imyourhero]

Why would people pay to watch an nbn vs zl3 when they could watch nbn vs nbn/newfm for free?

[pv4]

when are they going back to a proper draw (any team vs any team)?

this current draw is ridiculous. another trial game against a team in my same comp, or pretty close to it? where do I pay?!?!?!

[Buddha]

Since when have Northern done anything the proper way? Come on guiiiiz

[boz-monaut]

since they consulted with the clubs and came up with this system - they have to have separate draws for the northern regions and so the NBN/New FM can use it as a pre-season warm up

don't like it, then talk to your club about it - don't just whinge on here

[Imyourhero]

Playing a team 4 divisions down would be much more of a "trial" match warm up. Games have much more competition the way it is.
The two sub pools eventually meet at one point in time anyways dont they??

[boz-monaut]

yes, in Coffs Harbour for the finals

quarter and semi finals on 14 July

Final on 15 July

People have and are allowed their opinions though. Take a bex and lay down Boz lol

[Imyourhero]

So what games are we all interested in watching?

[boz-monaut]

the Bar Beach derby between Cooks Hill and Merewether Advance should be good
