Still going on about this.
Yet to explain how they were shafted.

If my memory serves me correct it's because we faced more A-League teams in the earlier rounds.
Why can't they just have a system like the NPL where team who scored more against better opposition gets to host. * the FFA.

If Sydney have shafted Adelaide this time then surely it was the same thing with Adelaide in the 1st Cup final.

Lol too big? Look at your population. The problem is the Sydney sport 'supporting' public not the size of the stadium for the biggest city in Australia. Lets not sidetrack the issue.
Enjoy your s**t, embarassing crowd on Friday Night against Perth in the biggest city in Australia. Great 'support'.
Leading into that game our crowds were better from memory.

To big for the event being a week night and the competition not really looked on favorably is what i meant.
Would of prefered it at the Den.
No sidetracking at all.

You just won the league and we finished bottom, wonder if that had anything to do with it ??
Sydney sporting fans are ridiculed nationwide, not just by us.

Jesus ******* Christ.
There's some usually excellent posters here who've become embarrassing conspiracy theorists.
The lack of formula for the FFA final hosting rights has been a joke for years now. It's not suddenly an anti-Adelaide policy. Get the * over it. It was always going to be held in Sydney after they made the final and played it in Melbourne last year. The only real joke is that it's at the SFS rather than Leichardt... but Leichardt is still in Sydney!

I think that's my main gripe to be honest. We all know SFS isn't going to be half full, it'll just look ordinary.
As for the game being in Sydney, once they made it, it was ALWAYS going to be there and to be honest, I can see why. Sydney play 3 days before the Final, we play 5 days before.
Putting everything else aside, that's a reasonable enough reason to have the game in Sydney. But this issue must be solved.

Sydney end up playing 3 games in a row in NSW so them playing 3 days earlier is such a bullshit reason.
Hahahaha you have split the two Sydney areas in half clearly it's nowhere near 50/50? And take out the wanderers home games where their supporters massively increase the numbers. Adelaide doesnt get those games. So what's your average without the wanderers games?
And did you include finals in those numbers?

FFA's case for the first three FFA Cup's was always based on commercial considerations. That was made exceptionally clear last year.
Really should be done based on first out of the hat in the interest of fairness, but given the FFA arent exactly swimming in money its understandable.

Then they'd end up with an even smaller crowd. I like the idea in theory but it wouldn't work in Australia.
Because then you are using the 4 million not 2 million (still lol at sydney being 2 million and western sydney being 2 million). Cant be used in the comparison as its two full sets of supporters infact the majority of them are wsw. So you're counting wsw fans..
