Sounds like round 1 starts 18 October.
Derby away Round 1.
Grand final replay in Gosford 18 October
Fucks sake, they pull this shit for marketing purposes every year, then present the fresh eyeballs with a shit product while teams get up to speed.
Should be no monster rivalry game until R4.
Mariners with 2 matches and the nix with zilch
No Western United on there either. Also it’s odd that they included that 6th fixture on the graphic, given that it’s a week after the rest. With 13 teams (and byes) this season, though, there was always going to be some weirdness with the fixtures.
So we’re wasting one derby for Round 1 and wasting another derby for the festival of football rubbish.
I figured they would surely be playing Auckland, but they aren’t until early December…
Do the knuckleheads who decide the draw not learn?
Look, I understand it’s probably difficult to do the fixturing - although I assume most of it’s done through a computer-generated app or something. And then you need to work around things like the SFS being constantly unavailable because some rapper nobody’s heard of is playing there , but there needs to be a law that states no derbies until at least Round 5.
I’m surprised they didn’t make Auckland City play Wellington first up.
APL treating the league and the rivalry so plastic like, a Turtle is somewhere choking to death.
holy shit that’s a giant banner!
Typical Sydney club funded tifo.
I love our shitty little league.
Auckland away, round 2.
Lock it in Eddie
Love that syncing the calendar from the league site doesn’t work for Google or Android. Top work
So the curveball is we play Adelaide 3 times as well as Wests.
Biggest disaster is Welly away on a Wednesday. For shame.
