lol Soccer fans in Australia attacking each other for being classist. No its a dig at the history of football club rivalry in western sydney being founded on Former Yugoslavian countries bashing each other at NSL games. Also the propensity for Western Sydney to help hide war criminals from the hague.

And for Western Sydney being a desolate hellhole where the living envy the dead.

Wait.

Actually it had nothing to do with that but that's true too.

Surely the whole Muslim bashing thing is more of a southern sydney thing or is this something the whole city can get behind? Have we finally found a way to unite the fractious NSW capital??

Speaking of which, I'm really looking forward to seeing what the north/south terraces will do in regards to the Nix. They've got no great love for the FFA but we do love being cunts so I'm 50/50 about whether we'll get a "save the Nix" banner or a "gently caress off we're full" just for shits and giggles

Bloody good game, Victory definitely needed the win to get some momentum and Welly needed a big stage to help show what they offer the league. To fill an away bay is massive especially when it would be so easy to just say gently caress it and not turn out, so good on the fans. I've heard of quite a few Aussies buying non-ticketed memberships as well to try and drive those numbers up a little

Yeah I don't want them out and want more NZ teams, if anything really. If they'd just pull their finger out and join a real confederation already we might already be enjoying sweet Shakey Isle Derbies. The whole thing would just be ripe for "you ever notice how north islander kiwis putt like this, where as south islander kiwis putt like this"


gently caress it, buying a membership. My local team plays in yellow and black so now I can act all smug and hipstery in winter too

We need a team using the cowboys stadium to give those rugby league fans something to do in summer aside from wrestling crocs and getting got by a sting ray. Also a team somewhere inland like darwin or freeo or albany or something. Last thing we loving need is another lovely loving shirebogan scumbag club.

Wollongong and Canberra, gotta be. Sure, they'll be have exactly the same sort of non-derby sized crowds as the Mariners, but that's 2 new paths to develop players through. Is the AIS still in Canberra?

I believe they tried previously but fell short of the required startup money, a consortium managed to get to like 4 out of 5 million or some such, was rejected and has yet to have another go. I've seen it mentioned that Canberra lacks a big corporate or industrial sector to help front the coin, but surely there's some company that would be willing to corner a market of a couple hundred thousand?

I just wish that the FFA would set up some kind of identifiable criteria (aside from population) that clubs and communities can then work around. They have a system in place for joining the J3 league in Japan, where minimum facility, financials, infrastructure etc are published. I believe that any entering team has to have existed in the lower leagues for a number of years before they can go up, so that stops teams just getting flung together and chucked into the top flight ala wanderers
