The fixture list is finally out for the A-League season, so no better time to get an A-League thread up & running.
It all kicks off on Friday 11 October as Adelaide Utd host champions Sydney FC, and the following day there's a Melbourne derby as Victory host City. Western Sydney's new ground hosts its first A-League match when Central Coast Mariners come visiting and the newbies, Western Utd, face a tricky game at Wellington Phoenix. Round 1 concludes with Premier winners Perth Glory hosting Robbie Fowler's Brisbane Roar (RFBR™).
I'll try and do a preview closer to kick off, but last night was the conclusion of the FFA Cup Round of 32. A-League clubs entered at this stage, but we're already waving goodbye to the following heavyweights:
Brisbane Roar v Central Coast Mariners
Moreland Zebras v Magpies Crusaders
Adelaide Olympic v Hume City
Brisbane Strikers v Manly United
Marconi Stallions v Melbourne City
Olympic FC v Adelaide United
Edgeworth v Newcastle Jets
Sydney United 58 v Western Sydney Wanderers
Games to be played in a couple of weeks. Just the one all A-League clash but would be fantastic to see a non A-League club lift the trophy.

- Wellington Phoenix - the shock of the round, losing on penalties to Brisbane Strikers
