2014 FFA knock-out cup

[Premy]

I've notice in the last couple of weeks there has been a lot of references in articles and forum's about this competition but not much from the FFA I wonder how long we will have to wait till we know more details about this Competition?

[Blackmac79]

My understanding is that an announcement regard sponsor name and start date is imminent.

[GazFish35]

ffa soon to tweet that there will be a press realease this afternoon announcing there will be a press conference soon to announce that an announcement is coming.

[GazFish35]

oh, and the football family will all receive 16 emails to inform us to check twitter about it.

Ya, not a great comparison hey, but closer to the Champions League in the sense that it seems the teams will qualify for the FFA Cup based on league positions, winning their own separate cups, etc., rather than qualification being entirely contained in the FFA Cup competition and irrespective of other results.

joel says it will change in subsequent years, I'll take his word for it. Chances of this running next year are slim as it is.

Unfortunately local qualifying has to be apart of it IMO, the cost would be far to great if it wasn't.

[Premy]

Hypothetically you could have say a club like Edgeworth lumped with a draw like
Adelaide City- Away
Manly United- Home
South Hobart- Away
Northern Fury- Away
Dandenong Thunder- Away
Before they get anywhere near the last 32 if it was country wide, could you imagine the cost of that times it by 100+ for every other club in the comp its just not feasible.

[militiamon]

I agree with you 100%, but that wasn't my point at all.

The winner of the state cup 2014 (solo cup) will represent Northern nsw football

If you, like me, think the world cup is more than 32 teams playing in the finals tournament, but all of the 203 nations that compete for a place at the finals

Then

you, like me, think that the FFA cup starts with the state cups, and are not two different competitions and the first qualifying round games are this weekend.

If MVR are as good as they were when I played against them they will beat Wingham easily. and Port Saints? wow not sure why they are even trying, unless they have improved dramatically.

Those are my tips (y)

[GazFish35]

**** off dickhead.
Wingham will win the cup.





Ps.... No need to **** off.

[la bazzle]

Does hitman still play for tamworth?

[holmesy]

**** off dickhead.

Haha! Well back when I played a few years ago wingham were no match for MVR Time will tell.

[GazFish35]

Word round town is wingham won't be much chop again this year.
Yoyo team ATM.

They play local and win, step up to premier league and don't.

[Blackmac79]
