The '''A-League's 2006-07 season''' will be the second season of the [[Australia]]n [[A-League]] [[football (soccer)]] competition. The [[Football Federation Australia]] hopes to build on the success of the [[A-League 2005-06|first season]] and on the interest generated by the [[Australian national football team|Socceroos]] competing in the [[2006 FIFA World Cup]]. Already, [[FOX Sports]] had signed a A$120 million deal over 7 years for the exclusive broadcast rights of the [[A-League]], [[AFC Champions League]], and [[Socceroos]] matches (excluding matches played in the [[FIFA_World_Cup|World Cup Finals]]). <ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.a-league.com.au/default.aspx?s=newsdisplay&id=3807&pageid=15|title=Historic deal for football|date=26 April 2006}}</ref>
 
The television advertisement campaign used for this season was the same as the previous season, with different music; [[Scribe (rapper)|Scribe]]'s "[[Not Many]]" was replaced with [[Fatboy Slim]]'s "[[Weapon of Choice (song)|Weapon of Choice]]".

[[Football Federation Australia]] have stated that the current franchises have a 5 year exclusivity clause in their licenses. This prevents any new franchise from being established in the same city or town. This does not preclude teams from other regions from joining. No new teams were added to the competiton for the 2006-07 season.

[[Image:A league pre season sydney vs newcastle.jpg|thumb|[[Newcastle United Jets|Newcastle]] playing [[Sydney FC|Sydney]] in a pre-season match in Canberra]]
 
This competition was held in July and August in the lead up to the start of the A-League season. The opening round was [[July 15]] [[2006]]. The competition featured a group stage, with three regular rounds and a bonus round, followed by a two week finals playoff. The bonus group round matched up teams with against opponents from the other group, and also offered the incentive of "bonus points" based on goals scored (1 point for 2 goals, 2 points for 3 goals, 3 points for 4 or more goals).
 
The Pre-Season Cup will also look at enhancing the [[A-League]]'s profiles by playing pre-season games in regional centres including the [[Gold Coast, Queensland|Gold Coast]], [[Sunshine Coast, Queensland|Sunshine Coast]], [[Toowoomba, Queensland|Toowoomba]], [[Launceston, Tasmania|Launceston]], [[Canberra]], [[Wollongong, New South Wales|Wollongong]], [[Port Macquarie, New South Wales|Port Macquarie]], [[Orange, New South Wales|Orange]], [[Tamworth, New South Wales|Tamworth]] and [[Christchurch]]. <ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.a-league.com.au/default.aspx?s=newsdisplay&id=4003&pageid=11|title=A-League Pre-Season Schedule Confirmed|date=1 June 2006}}</ref>

If I'm not mistaken, Leah broke her back being thrown from a horse, not a car accident.
Can anyone comfirm?
 
She definatley broke it in car accident.
The 2006-07 season will see the Champion (Grand Final winner) and Premier (League winner) qualify for the [[AFC Champions League]]. If the league winner also wins the grand final, the grand final runner-up will qualify for the Continental championship.
Goes to show how memory plays tricks on you.

Actor Noah Hathaway who played Boxey in the original Battlestar Galactica series broke his back when he was thrown from a horse and stepped on (during the filming of NeverEnding Story in which he played Atreyu). Maybe you mixed these two up?
