Brisbane Broncos and Newcastle Jets coming to Maitland
The Newcastle Jets will host Macarthur FC in the Australia Cup quarter-final at Maitland Sportsground on Sunday, August 24.
And now it's believed the Brisbane Broncos will be holding training sessions at the Maitland Sportsground on Thursday, August 21, and on the morning of Saturday, August 23, ahead of their crucial game against the Newcastle Knights on August 24.
The Broncos' training session on Thursday is expected to be open to the public from 4.30pm.
In a massive coup for the Maitland Pickers, Thursday is expected to feature an opposed session with Broncos players against the reigning triple premiership Maitland side.
After defeating the Dolphins on Saturday night, the Newcastle clash is a must-win game for the Broncos as they try to secure a top-eight spot, and potentially a top-four finish with three games left before finals.
Details of the Broncos' visit are expected to be confirmed on Monday.
The Newcastle Jets confirmed last Thursday, they will be playing their quarter-final at Maitland Sportsground, which is where they train for a large part of the A-League season.
Due to the expected high demand for tickets, it is recommended that you pre-purchase your tickets through 123Tix. Tickets may be available to purchase on game day at the Box Office if not sold out prior.
The Grandstand is unreserved seating only and will be made available only to Jets members initially. Some sections of the grandstand are reserved for clubs, players and officials.
General admission tickets admit access to the hill and grassed areas only.
Ticket limits apply to grandstand seating.
Maitland is firmly on the national sporting map with the Newcastle Jets and Brisbane Broncos coming to play and train there this week.

Western Utd lose new signing, remain in licence limbo
With the clock ticking on their future, Western United's off-field issues have cost them recruit Jaiden Kucharski, who has departed without playing a competitive game. United are in a fight for their existence, with staff and players in limbo, after they were stripped of their A-Leagues licence on August 8 by Football Australia for financial reasons. The club has until 10am AEST on Thursday to appeal the decision by Football Australia's First Instance Board (FIB), an independent body responsible for club licensing - an extended deadline. As of Tuesday evening, an appeal had not yet been submitted. United, based in Tarneit in Melbourne's western suburbs, have also been unable to register players due to a FIFA ban related to an ongoing dispute with former striker Aleksandar Prijovic. That ban meant new signing Kucharski and captain Ben Garuccio could not be registered in time to play in United's Australia Cup round-of-32 loss to Sydney FC. It has now cost them talented 23-year-old attacker Kucharski, who is currently without a club after a promising start to his career at Sydney FC. "Striker Jaiden Kucharski will depart the green and black after the club and player mutually agreed to part ways," United said in a statement. "With consideration for the current FIFA registration ban, both parties have respectfully agreed to a termination. "While the club is disappointed with this outcome, we respect the player's decision to pursue his career elsewhere. "Jaiden has been exceptional during his short tenure with the club, and we wish him the best in his football future." United have been in financial turmoil for months, with players and staff paid late in April, May and June, while superannuation payments were also delayed. The club, led by chairman Jason Sourasis, had hoped their issues would be solved by a planned takeover by American group KAM Sports, announced in May. But that is yet to be completed because KAM hasn't submitted its full ownership proposal to the Australian Professional Leagues.

Engineer by day, giant-slayer by night: The Heidelberg soccer team living a fairytale
But the Wanderers result was still a genuine 'Cup-set'; the A-League team boasted Socceroos squad member Lawrence Thomas in goal and past Socceroo Josh Brillante in midfield. 'You watch these guys on the TV, then all of a sudden, you are up against them,' said Fulton, a 22-year-old originally from Tasmania. 'We just came out, played freely and when we got that first goal, I thought 'we might be on here'. 'You can't match that feeling. It was awesome to see so many people out in the weather supporting us and to enjoy the win with them after it was special.' Fulton works for commercial construction and plumbing company PAD Civil, where his job is a mix of office and on-site work. Having supportive bosses means he can balance a 50-hour working week with four or five nights of training or analysis sessions, and matches all over the city. 'When I started at the club, I looked at the schedule and thought working full-time as well would be a big ask but things all sort of fell into place with work being five minutes down the road, which I'm pretty stoked about, as I could be driving an hour across town,' he added. 'I wouldn't really change it for anything else. 'I love the lifestyle, I love the grind, or whatever you call it – it's been really rewarding in that aspect, especially when we get the results like the other night.' After a post-match souvlaki at Heidelberg's historic Olympic Village home ground, celebrations in the change rooms and a match debrief, Fulton got to bed at about midnight. 'But you are still buzzing so much that you toss and turn and don't get to sleep for hours – then the alarm goes off at 6am,' he said. 'I was at work at 7am the next morning. You just make it happen in both lifestyles, and you don't want to let either of them down. It's back to reality pretty quick.' Last week's upset was Heidelberg's third win over an A-League side in Australia Cup games; they have the equal most wins with Sydney powerhouse APIA Leichardt. They will try to do it all again against Wellington. The Phoenix are full of confidence after beating South Melbourne in the previous round but Heidelberg are unbeaten at Olympic Village this season. Fulton will have done a full day's work by the time he gets to the ground to begin his preparation. Then he will 'switch off and focus on the game', which kicks off at 7.30pm. Loading 'Hopefully, I will get home before midnight and get more than six hours sleep,' he said. 'That would be nice.' Fellow NPL team Avondale FC are also in the Australia Cup quarter-finals, hosting Brisbane City at Green Gully Reserve on Wednesday at 7.30pm.
