    Draw?
    Bit dodgy we play WS actually in West Sydney for a regional game.

    I wouldn't be expecting the FFA to be doing us any favours after the offseason we have had, so it doesn't surprise me our regional game is really a home game for West Sydney.

    Saw that. Very dodgy given that areas like Coffs and Port Mac have a history with football.

    Also saw that Roarcelona and Pissants have 14 homes games, as opposed to everyone else who has 13 - Roar and Adelaide don't play regional matches.

    Other than that, not too bad, 2 home derbies but 2 away trips to Nix and Perth.

    Also the new years period playing Victory and Heart in Melbourne sounds good for an away trip.

    2 away games at perth and wellington too. It's only a matter of time before Tinks pulls us out of the comp on the grounds of unfair scheduling.

    Typical double eff a screwing up our regional game. It's going to be hard to bear their favouritism for 2 Sydney teams this season.

    Oh well, less travel for me anyway.

    Agree. Make for a good christmas period.

    Hindmarsh is a goal this year too.

    Does this mean there'll be a Kaze house Mexican Style?

    As is the way of my life I'll be unable to attend due to work or family issues i'm sure but I'm happy with the majority of the schedule, loving the Saturday action.

    Pretty sure that with Lowy pulling out of SFC they will be brought back to the pack and his new love child will be getting all the favours now, especially when you consider it was the Russian that won the battle with Lowy for control of SFC.

    You know like those rumours that Gorman had access to all the contracted players & staff salary lists, HSG were pissed when Wanderers snared our S&C trainer.

    Nah Reds don't have 14 home games, they have 13 "home" games and 1 "regional" game at Hindmarsh....

    FFS, people wonder why we have little to no faith in the double-eff-ay to run football in Australia.

    Hopefully the Melbourne double header (know alot of people keen on this one), maybe the other Melbourne games too, who knows? Adelaide away & Brisbane away.

    See what occurs.

    What does irritate me about the draw is playing twice in Wellington 3 years in a row and having 2 home games V Roar 3 years in a row. Why not just swap the draw over??

    If you played Roar Perth Heart Gold Coast twice at home last year (As we did) why not just give us 2 away days against these teams and then give us two home games V the teams we played once at home last year?? All you would need to do is sub Western Sydney for Gold Coast. Then change the rounds around a fraction to mix it up a bit so it looks fresh.

    Not exactly rocket science.

    Feel the FFA spends far too much time stuffing around with the draw trying to generate interest by picking marquee rivalries to be played at certain times.

    Bit more KISS needed


    Also the complaints about the regional rounds are harsh and unfounded I feel. Last year we had 3 games in regional hick towns. Adelaide in Bathurst and 2 visits to Gosford.

    This season we have 2 games in regional hick towns and are only going to Campbelltown and Gosford once so I see signs of improvement on that front
