I have probably forgot a few, done some mental travel over the years: Ukraine: Black Sea (Chernymoretes - Odessa) Mykolaiv Central Stadium (oldest professional club in Ukraine until dissolved due to war) Russia: Spartak Stadium Dynamo Central Stadium (Moscow) Luzhniki Eduard Streltsov...

The badge does not suit the jersey at all. Just keep the crest imo.

I used to have to fight to keep my Sergio past 10pm at Kogarah, kids don’t understand now. Train chavs would always foam over it.

That would mean Zeljko and Juric were co-managing from the Rockdale bar :ROFLMAO:

We didn’t drop anyone for this. Players flying to Bangkok at the time I believe. 22 man squad. We didn’t have our main NPL goalkeeper out at U20’s AUS and Alfero as well. After the second goal, none of the Croatia players showed any fight or desire which was strange.

Olympic are fucking pony on and off the pitch, do something ffs How is Ziggy still playing

Yep lol Sydney FC and Melbourne Victory are the only clubs who have recorded a profit that I know of. Sydney FC only 3 out of 20 years. Who knows, we might get so big, open the pyramid and all of sudden all our matches are played in Saudi and USA, we will be truely fuck the community then lol.

It’s a triple sided though. Seen all sorts from APL/AL, general public and then NSL club supporters. It’s ultimately the general public who we should take an eye on.

Wouldn’t that just be the case within a few years though? It’s not like the AL owners thought massive profits at the start is a must and the purpose. The aim of the license being bought here was to ensure capital which the clubs would use as an exposure potential opportunity to build on?

Yep agreed, not sure why all the negativity and hysterics online.

Genuinely confused, what would this be? Is that some of AL clubs would go under solely because of this, that the Australian casual fan will move around clubs between the two leagues like hot cakes? This is kind of already occurs lol. 90% of the public, couldn’t give a fuck about AL or old NSL...

Most of Asia is moving to European calendar though. HappyGuus did some great research on it on Page 19.

The only difference is the formation and license period no? Let's say Sydney Olympic go under, is it on the other clubs and organisation to try save them, can the organisation try strip the AC license to ensure owner doesn't go bonkers? I think it's a positive imo if there is money being...

What the Australian Championship Stands For Authenticity: Celebrating local clubs, iconic grounds, and historic rivalries. Discovery: Unveiling new talent and rising stars from across the country. Connection: Bridging state competitions, professional pathways, and grassroots football. Pride...

Contract runs out end of this year so he’ll go on a free unless the club somehow convince him.

Off to Europe, was meant to sign in the pre-season.

Would love your definition of the game DNA?

If we really wanna get technical Melbourne Croatia were the first franchise after they bought the beloved Essendon Ucrania Lions! lol lets hope for success and the pyramids comint ahead soon. Edit: frustrated and drunk - joel king out!

But isn’t this just marketing 101 spin? Market it as the anti to the other perception of the A-league. I am Pro to both of course but these quotes are just marketing gimmicks. By definition, haven’t the 8 clubs become a franchise of this exclusive spot in the leagues? Why is that a bad thing...

Isn’t this technically a franchise system too? 8 clubs have bought in a license for an exclusive position.
