On Monday the FFA announced the 2009/10 A-league season draw. With the two new teams Gold Coast Untied and North Queensland Fury joining this season there will be six more rounds for a total of 27 and 51 more games for a total of 135 in the regular season.
Melbourne's first big game is on Thursday the 6th of August, when the Victory kick off the new
A-league season by hosting the Central Coast Mariners.
On Friday the 18th of September last seasons two grand finalist's will meet for the first time in the season when Melbourne play Adelaide at Hindmarsh Stadium.
In round 10 on Friday the 9th of October the two biggest cities in Australia will clash for the first time in the season. Sydney fans will hoping by this time that their team under the guidance of Czech coach Vitezslav Lavicka will be performing better then it did last season. The Victory supporter groups in the southern and the northern end of Etihad Stadium will be reminding Sydney of the previous season's Melbourne 3-2 come from behind victory.
The 28th of November will be Victory's fans first opportunity to see Jason Culina and Gold Coast United live when they play at Etihad Stadium.
On Saturday the 19th of December Melbourne and Sydney will meet at Etihad Stadium for the second time in the season. The Victory fans will still be reminding Sydney of Melbourne's 3-2 victory from the previous season.
Tuesday the 26th of January, Australia day what better way for a Melbournian to spend it then to watch Melbourne play and hopefully beat Wellington Phoenix at Etihad Stadium.
On the 5th of February god arrives in Melbourne, Robbie Fowler that is the former Liverpool legend, when Melbourne host North Queensland for the first time.
Every Melbourne Victory supporters dream, on the last round of the season Melbourne has already guaranteed top spot and a win away against Sydney in the last match of the season stops Sydney from making it into the finals. This dream can came true on the 14 February.
Now to something else.
In the Foreign Bodies section which can be found in Thursday's The Age sport section for the 23rd of April the writer writes "Oh, and owner George Gillett (who also has Manchester Untied in his pool room)". Close but no cigar. George Gillett is the part owner of one famous EPL club that plays at home in Red that are situated in the North West of England but it's not Manchester Untied, it's the club about 50 kms to the west Liverpool.
