southmelb Earlwood so close to Marrickville mentioned earlier is no diff.
The inner west once ruled by euro ethnics the 2/3rd gens have not followed on as in the past.
Sure they are there but in far less numbers - interesting Beretta re more following NRL, I mentioned Leb community very strong maybe I can't pick them that well haha a mix of Leb/greek Dog supporters.

Wow 11k back in the day for that GF.

Yep, you cant tell the difference between the lebs and greeks, they all support the Bulldogs.

i work with a few greeks, and they dont care about sydney olympic. they used to go back in the NSL, but all of their responses is, "football in this country is shit, NPL is shit bla bla bla"

only the croats, macos, and wollongong in NSW can still gain a crowd on it's day. The rest is players families that only attend.

yer can't pick them !

I have quite a few greek friends also and couple that have kept playing football with me - their sons are mates of my boys and football devotees like us but not strong enough for the local NPL - more interested getting out.
The young uns only make the effort for some big games if they don't have anything on BUT the word getting about the Championship to start has them inspired to a degree I notice.
The football is crap locally rings true to many involved in the game agree.
 
Npl isnt the benchmark for crowd numbers... You cant gage anything until a better comp is at play, the AU champ may not be perfect but it can be a stepping stone to re-engagement of those supporters that left (rightly so unwilling to become a franchise member or state league affiliates) ... the club support numbers will dependent on the viability of the new comp and thereafter..
We tout Preston as a benchmark suddenly yet forget the non existent support for so many years until their return.. why would Olympic be any different..
 
wholeheartedly agree H b w, in the back rooms its all there I know it.....despite what I/we've said from up here.
So so much relies on the Championship to finally kick start the kind of forward movement for the many dormant mature supporters and the many young ones who need to see feel this spike the NPL needs.
They want to be there but its got to deliver this kind of bigger picture and interstate Club rivalry they know of.
Sydney is such a fickle town compared to Melb let alone the other main cities.
They only turn up for the big games for most other games is like when your going out with mates for a night on the town but turn up at some bars and its dead, unless your invested its kind of a let down affair lacking the vibe/ambience.
There is so much riding on this and for the game as a whole might I add.
 
Trying to watch some NPL WA and Streamer has gone down. A reminder to all that these grifters don't give f about the game. Just stick to YouTube.
 
That 3rd goal Preston conceeded was ridiculous, i know you want to win the game but dont throw 1 point in the bin with that nonsense. 2 weeks in a row beaten at the death, need a response.

Not surprised Thunder came crashing back down to earth tonight, after a good stretch of home games this was always going to be a difficult assignment.

Also nice to see Dandy put the final score on socials, they are the type of club who often pretend the match didnt happen if they dont win lol.

WA hasn't missed a beat for me tonight. I'm tuning in for NT now, thanks for the reminder.
