2009 Finals Series

[fedelta]

VALENTINE'S Day promises to be a sizzling affair for fans of Melbourne Victory and Adelaide United with the finals series schedule confirmed by the FFA today.
The Finals Series gets underway with the minor-semi final between Central Coast Mariners and Queensland Roar at Bluetongue Stadium on Friday 6 February, with the major semi-final the next evening between Adelaide United and Melbourne Victory at Hindmarsh Stadium.

The return matches will be played the following weekend with Suncorp Stadium the venue for Queensland Roar v Central Coast Mariners minor semi-final on Friday 13 February and Melbourne Victory to meet Adelaide United on 14 February at Telstra Dome.

Under competition rules the winner over the two legs of the major semi-final earns the right to host the biggest game of the season which means the Hyundai A-League Grand Final will be held in Melbourne or Adelaide.

The loser of the major semi-final will host the Preliminary Final on 21 February against the winner over the two legs between Queensland Roar and Central Coast.

Tickets are on sale for the semi-finals on Thursday at 9am local time with exclusive sale periods for club members and My Football Family on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively.
