Western ⚰

It is sad though, things were looking up for next season where we'd have 12 teams, a more independent league and now that's essentially been put on hold. Hopefully Mariners survive

Good signs, especially with NZ Warriors getting clearance in the NRL.

A-League set for August 1 restart - sources

Details are yet to be confirmed, but the hub model is thought be the preferred option, with Sydney the front-runner to host the remaining fixtures.

Doing all the news digging today General Giant thank-you

Good to see that Fox has paid up!
With The league starting on 1st of August I’m guessing no FFA Cup this year and with contracts ending May 31st some clubs will have to be creative building squads! expect a lot of youth players and less forigners.

Haha was in bed this arvo due to working night shift.

Will be interesting how it’s all done for both this year and next.

But the Premiership is ours

Macarthur still definitely coming in according to these tweets.

Think they will be better than Western. Having a home helps I guess.

How are we all doing? Looks like amateur football will be returning shortly. Ive just completed a return to training plan for our local council. Lookz like we will get approval to train with 2 x groups of 10 with staggered times on a pitch each. No games, social distancing required. So pretty much running drills, long passing and shootimg drills! Cant wait!

Return to competition estimated for late June.

Seems we have an official group for the Golden Generation and Neill is back involved.

Anyone know the status of Wellington Phoenix when the season resumes?

Given the fact they have enjoyed their most unexpectedly season in the HAL before COVID19 struck, I hope they are not screwed over fixture wise, when the season resumes, unless they decide to just start the finals/playoffs already

Well they are still talking hubs and that they would be in Sydney and Melbourne(or was it Brisbane), so make of that what you will.

Of course here’s an article

Going back to NSW I'm pretty sure. The whole squad is split between Australia and NZ at the moment so there's no reason for the Nix not to be able to compete.

The only overseas players are Gary Hooper in England and Davila in Mexico.

I'm backing you guys for this season, we are s**t.

Would be nice, eh? Against literally all the odds.

Some would say it would be the Phoenix rising from the ashes.

Rudan really is a s**t man

 

[Greenery]

Rudan seems like a lovely fellow, I find this one hard to believe

 

[Greenery]

Rudan could be a great manager, if he wasn't such a bad man manager (reprehensible character). It's a shame all round.
