The Australian Championship Thread

This whole we aren’t going to take the NSD seriously south haters really need to do more research this was what our president said in a different article

‪The championship dates are manageable,” he explained. “Our plan is to field our senior squad in the OFC Championship and second-tier national league matches, while our reserves will compete in all other domestic competitions ‬

if the dates can be worked out, 17 games in the ofc and 22 in a nst make for a perfectly reasonably 39 league games a year

Mad thought (I'm the eternal optimist) could the ofc provide a gateway drug to p&r?

Qualifying for the club world cup means you can build an a league size stadium and probably get a huge following from playing top teams in meaningful matches. Getting relegated to a league which has club world cup access would also be attractive to a struggling team.

It’s a nice dream but would playing semi-pro teams from NZ and Oceania really provide all that? Sure there’s perhaps some good cash involved and maybe, just maybe a spot in the expanded Club World Cup.

Whatever it provides, its for the best benefit of SMFC to have a presence as the comps team of the century at the end of the day... and that exposure, revenue, status, call it whatever you will, is a positive....
For 2 decades now, despite the wars,we have managed to fight the good fight, and what we know for sure is that there is NOT one person involved in footballing matters in Australia on the "highest levels", over all these years, that can advise US as to the opposite, given their management track records!

Agree with this and hope it wakes up the administration to the benefits the NSD and P/R will bring.
