The statement below is retracted as the NSW Government overnight signalled via the media that travel to regional NSW from Greater Sydney will be delayed until 1 November 2021. 

This puts the match on 30 October 2021 in doubt. 

For the moment, please don't run this story. If you have published it anywhere please pull it down.

While we haven't heard this officially, it is being reported by the ABC, and government sources indicate an announcement confirming this news will be made at 10 am, this morning, Friday, 15 October 2021.

After the Newcastle Jets see the detail of the NSW Government statement, the future of the match will be determined.

Thanks for your understanding, cooperation and help.

Comments by Andrew Woodward, General Manager, North Coast Football
 
This is fantastic news for football fans up and down the coast. We get to see the Jets at the start of a rebuilding phase, and with Sydney FC, we get to see one of the biggest names in Australian and Asian football.
 
Sydney FC is brimming with international and local stars keen to make amends for last year’s grand final loss to Melbourne City.
 
The Newcastle Jets are under new management; they have a new coach, and they’re in a much stronger position than they were last year.
 
It’s great to see the Jets reaffirming their support for the North Coast under the new management.
