Perth Glory owner Tony Sage hits out at decision to stage FFA Cup final in Adelaide Perth Glory owner Tony Sage says nib Stadium would have drawn a big crowd. PERTH Glory owner Tony Sage has slammed Football Federation Australia's decision to overlook his club's credentials and instead stage the inaugural FFA Cup final in Adelaide. Glory booked their place in the December 16 showpiece final after beating semi-professional Bentleigh Greens on Tuesday night. Adelaide joined them after downing Central Coast Mariners 24 hours later. The FFA announced shortly after Adelaide's win that Coopers Stadium would host the decider, sparking a furious tirade from Sage on Perth radio 6PR. The entrepreneur, who has had his share of run ins with the FFA over the years, accused the governing body of going back on their word over the timing of the venue announcement. It's an absolute disgrace. We accepted the FFA on their word that they wouldn't make a decision until next week," he said. We thought it was a little bit suspicious when they hadn't booked nib Stadium, so we called up the stadium ourselves to check. We believe we would have got between 14 and 15 thousand to this game. We have the toughest road schedule in the A-League already. Glory, who sit top of the A-League ladder with four wins in five games, have already been beaten at Coopers Stadium this season, losing 2-0 at the ends of last month courtesy of goals from Sergio Cirio and Awer Mabel.
