2015 Asian Champions League

[rbakersmith]

Where does the "points ranking" come from?

According to:
http://www.the-afc.com/afc-champions-league-2014/afc-champions-league-2015-draw
AFC Champions League 2015: Play-off schedule (East)

we are in the Play Off Stage not the Preliminary Stage. My question still stands, how and why did we get put straight into the Play Off Stage? Points? What Points?
(Sorry, I am very confused here. )

The AFC has a points ranking system to determine how many direct entry and playoff slots each nation receives for the ACL - this system is based on our performance in AFC competitions over the last 4 years, and the 2015 & 2016 competitions are based on our rank for this year (which was determined in November).

As we're ranked in the top 4 in the East Zone, we enter the playoffs in the final round.

Thanks rbs, I'll have a long think about it and no doubt at some stage today, after some reading on the AFC website etc. the penny will drop.

And the sponsor is ..... Mr blank...

[bikinigirl]

I wonder if we'll get the benefit of rescheduled matches if we win our play-off...

J O K E. These bays were 90% empty at the games I went to last year. Must look good on TV, not!

And another thing, not being able to see the TV coverage, do they actually show the YA in Bay 16. The away support naturally will get featured as they are on the TV "hot" side of the stadium.

should play it at Pluim

It was good last year with the band marching around the stands.....I loved it.

 

[kevrenor]

I love these games. Ticket bought for game. Train ticket for 1,000km round trip bought. See you there!

Warriors FC from Singapore are through to the second preliminary round of the play-offs after defeating Yadanarbon of Myanmar 6-5 in a penalty shootout (1-1 a.e.t.) last night.

They face Guangzhou R&F next Tuesday, with the winner of that game coming to Gosford on the 17th.

Can't wait, love the ACL.
Hopefully it plays us into some form like last time.

Any word on front of shirt sponsor and when/if kits will be sold? I'm guessing we're hanging on until we qualify...

There was a preorder for the jerseys back in December. The club said that the sponsor would be announced just before the jerseys shipped, which should be any day now...

What about Tony Abbott? He's good at shirt-fronts.
