Draw for last season was released this time last year.

Anyone heard anything juicy about this seasons fixture list?

It'll probably include an unscheduled period of angst and fear over our future.

That's all the goss I have.

I don't expect it to be released until that minor tournament over in Russia is finished.

This is what we know:

Season starts 19 October
Two breaks for FIFA Windows: 12-20 November and 18-26 March
Finals start in May with the Grand Final to be held on the weekend of 18/19 May, 2019.
No break for the AFC Asian Cup during January

Did I hear something about Westpac Stadium being closed for a month or two during this season? What time period would that be over? I guess we can be expecting a home-away game or two around that period.

There is this on and a person who posted about it in one of those Nix Facebook groups thinks it'll take a week or two each side of it to build and take down the stage. https://www.westpacstadium.co.nz/our-events/event/te-matatini-kapa-haka-festival/

Was mentioned by Domey on the podcast, when talking about playing games at Hutt Rec again (Note: he said that was unlikely due to costs)

Very small. When they were selling $10 tickets to proper A League fixtures in the previous 2 seasons. For a side that has not signed anyone significant.......

Pretty sure they charge $10 for Central League games over there and they usually get a decent crowd.

Yes, this is a time where the club should be trying to win fans back and preseason is the time to do it. Have sit on the fence fans keen to attend a proper A League fixture.

Its a nothing game at the start of preseason with barely a squad... I wonder who made the call to charge that. May have nothing to do with the NIX as I would assume all funds go to the club team.

I paid $10 last 2 times I’ve gone over there. But they were Chatham cup matches.

really? I was at one of those Chatham Cup games and I only paid $5, I would definitely had a gripe if it was $10 (ie same as an ISPS premiership game at TW)

"we are working on our pre-season trip to Beijing in July and have a few other pre-season plans that are being looked at."

From the news article about Libby & Dura re-signing

"The team (Singapore u23) will be taking on Macau on Jun 27, as well as play a triangular tournament featuring Australian club sides Perth Glory and Wellington Phoenix in Singapore on Aug 4." https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/sport/singapore-under-23s-asian-games-hopes-dashed-after-loss-to-10452866

Are we gonna have to pull out of this now since we have Bentleigh on the 7th August?

Pre-season so far as I can work out:

17th July = 'rapa
July = Beijing
4th Aug = Singapore u23/Glory
7th Aug = Bentleigh
19th Oct = A-League Starts

We couldn't have drawn many more difficult NPL teams, Bentleigh are among the best, they did defeat Perth Glory of course last FFA Cup.

They will be a good team, but they haven't bet an A-League team before. Last year they won against another NPL team in penalties then lost 4-0 to WSW in round of 16. There best run was 2014 where they made the semis betting other NPL teams before meeting an A-League team and that years runner up Perth Glory and losing 3-0.

As it's pre-season, can we include trialists in FFA Cup games, or are we restricted to using players we've signed?
