“Our team has been monitoring the pitch condition at Leichhardt Oval over the last month – and regrettably we have had to make the decision in the best interest of all stakeholders. Because of the move, the APL has made all six games free entry, with current ticket holders to be refunded. “As much as we enjoy the atmosphere we create when we play at Leichhardt Oval and we’d like to create a hub at the ground for our women’s team, the playing surface is currently unacceptable for professional football, particularly considering we are three rounds into the new season,” Sydney FC chief executive Mark Aubrey said.
