FFV - Geelong

[NicCarBel]

Hey, so just putting forward a random question while putting together the logos for the Unofficial Australian Club Database - I'm going through my 2020 logos for Victoria for cross-referencing and checking if I've missed anything.

So.. just want to ask the Victorians/Geelongians: Stead Park Lions? Who are they, and why do I have a logo for them in my 2020 folder, but don't have a record of them in 2024? Is this a club that's folded? I can't find a trace of them on Facebook or anything other than a few old junior leagues on the FFV-Geelong Game Day fixtures page. Only link I have is that Geelong Soccer Club's home ground non-sponsored name is Stead Park (and their logo is of a lion) - but I can't find anything in history saying that was the club's former name.

Geelong SC has been around for ages, currently VPL 2 (I think Paco that we played last night is playing them this weekend) never come accross Stead Park Lions though... sorry mate.

all good - I think I just found my answer here - looks like they are very much linked - may have just been a local, juniors only club linked directly to Geelong SC

Will be the same club just a local team. Same as Elcho Park Cardinals who is the community version of North Geelong Warriors. Similar examples in Melbourne exist although it is a lot rarer

Tonci Prusac went whack on Monday Night's Geelong Region Soccer Show podcast big time.
