Nope. Sky Stadium in Wellington has been reserved by the APL for that weekend just in case the nix earn hosting rights

 

[finally retired]

So, If it's us and Nix in the grand final...and WE finish premiers.....would APL dare to play the grand final in Wellington?
cos it won't be in Gosford.

Surely it would be in our home away from home, Parramatta🙂

Most likely.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Most likely.

So we would have won 2 GF's at Wanderers home ground while they have won......oh yes, nothing

 

[Corsair]

just in case

Hmm

I'm not sure where it will end up if we end up hosting the GF - whether as Premiers, or just the highest remaining team. Still dirty that it again would not be here. I think the opponents will decide the stadium.

NIX might get a decent crowd - not just from OS - but there a a heap of New Zealanders in Sydney. Victory would bring heaps of people and the Sydney based clubs would all get plenty of people (not week to week fans) so Allianz would probably be chosen (or at least in the mix) for them. IF WSW it should definitely be Allianz and if . City get up it has to be COMMBANK. BNE and ADL you would also think would be COMMBANK

NIX - ALLIANZ/COMMBANK
VIC - ALLIANZ
SYD - ALLIANZ/COMMBANK (it would probably end up at ALLIANZ becuase of capacity)
MAC - COMMBANK probably
WSW - ALLIANZ
CTY - COMMBANK
BNE - COMMBANK_
ADL - COMMBANK

Accor? For us vs rapists, Allianz sold out in 2013.

 

[Huddo]

No excuse.

I expect a win this week. We are the better team.

We've talked about how much of a banana skin this game could be. It could, but if it is it means we're not ready for it. We're ready, no more excuses.

 

[midfielder]

why would the GF not be in Gosford if we come first in the league.

The Sydney GF was given up for the Sydney round as I understand it...

Stadium too small?.

Yep - probably the Smurfs as well

And lack of corporate facilities - though we put forward a plan years ago when apparently there was not a game in Brisbane that the FFA accepted.

We nearly got hosting rights for the Australia Cup final a few years ago.

 

[Big Al]

Let’s take care of business and worry about the GF issues later.

Don’t forget 3.30pm kickoff.

Can put one hand on the plate on Saturday

I understand that the FA/PFA want a big spectacle for a GF, but does the club lose $ through ticket sales if it is held elsewhere? ie which club, if any benefits from the GF ticket sales? It would be crap if an opposing team had a windfall at our expense

APL runs all finals matches, clubs don’t get any financial benefit I'm led to believe.

That's right. There is nothing for the clubs.
The APL know we will travel in numbers to Sydney too.
Us v Nix is their nightmare scenario. Be interesting to see what they do.
I still think it will be us v Sydney
