LOL - I have a small number of posters Ignored so I had no idea anything had been posted or deleted.

Life is much more enjoyable when your eyes don't bleed.

And remember - if your nose runs and your feet smell you were built upside down.

back on topic, its amazing how MANY clubs to this day have ethnic ties - credit to the past the foundations laid and still around despite having been neglected and targeted for decades, thats determination that can only be admired imo.

Unfortunately THAT determination is NOT admired in this country, but vilified.... hated and exclusded by the media, the football federation and by most self proclaimed "football fans" as well.

What a shame we have to be unique in this country and not follow the examples of Sweden as one of thousands of examples where a club like Dalkurd FC is not just "tolerated" but fully embraced into their whole football pyramid...

From Kurdish refugees to Sweden’s top flight football league

Kordo Doski’s debut documentary feature is an endearing crowd pleaser revolving around the titular football team, born as a social project in a rural working-class town back in 2004.

I'm past the the ethnic issues of old (its obvious some still cling to it) I'm more disappointed by the utter ignorance made by many still banging the same ol same ol but say they wish what we wish for - its just illogical and narrow mindeness not improving what has been under their nose's for 20+yrs.
Where else will Clubs come from to enhance and grow the game from grass roots.
Just baffling to say the least I'm trying to keep polite.

Cool link what they did over there good on them.

Clogball: Remembering the 38 Dutch football clubs of Australia - Dutch Australia Cultural Centre

Dutch migrants established teams in every capital city and several regional areas across Australia in the 1950s and early 1960s. At least twenty sides formed in this period with a specifically Dutch identity, with suggestions that the actual number may have been more than twenty five.

"Clogball", by Adam Muyt. Good book.
I met him when he came to Adelaide, where he interviewed Ted De Lyster and Wili Slager.
 
very cool ol history.
"Changing its name to Ringwood Soccer Club Wilhelmina, the club marked the opening of its new facility at Jubilee Park Ringwood in 1962 with bands, marching girls and speeches before beating the ‘Greek’ team, South Melbourne Hellas, 2-1 in front of 5,000 supporters."
5k 1962.

So much good info the young wouldn't know of and relating to the current :
These sides included Hollandia, Fern Tree, Ringwood United and Mooroolbark. The latter club eventually played in the 1977 season of the National Soccer League, the forerunner of the A-League, meaning two sides (out of fourteen) had significant Dutch connections in that inaugural first season of the national competition (Brisbane Lions were the other).
