Interesting comments by outgoing FA chair Chris Nikou on Radio Fremantle this morning regarding the current role of member federations and the debate about opting for a more centralised governance model -
@SimeW_Croft I’m hopeful but I just can’t see them getting anything out of this pitch. Trying to play, quick, one touch & good football is not possible on this surface. Grit & determination can only take you so far
@Bay49Wanderers You’d hope that with 5 days that things would have improved but the way the players were slipping on Sunday doesn’t bode well.
The warmups will be the litmus test but when will that be? 2040 new KO time but players need to warm up again

Thread. @FundFooty and I have been working behind the scenes for quite some time. We want to see football funded fairly in Queensland (and Australia). We firmly believe that the first step really has to be a stadium that football can call its own.
a slightly in-depth read for your Friday morning, leading into the Sydney game. it's fair to say the Glory's season has had its ups and downs so far. one area where there could be some improvement, at least in my view, is the midfield. here's why... 📝https://t.co/6CgbHbrLmM
This was in the PFA's annual report. Voted on by selected away team players.
Hindmarsh had the best pitch quality and atmosphere rating, when only counting stadiums that are used on a full-time basis.
