You play your best wherever the most money is at the end of the day!!! If clubs are getting big $$$ in that comp why would i not play reserves in the NPL?

Potential for $$$ is greater in OFC. Going of the wikipedia article:

The league will also serve as Oceania's qualifying pathway for:

Who is turning up to watch South play a team from the Moreland? I get what ur saying tho, regarding the "growing brand" thing, it is a FIFA tournament on the wikipedia article it mentions a possible invite to the FIFA Club World Cup...

And to add to it the fact we could be the only club in Australia posting a profit while playing in a sunday league and also gaining an invite to the club world cup!! Imagine the heart attacks of those franchises, that alone green lights it for me! 🤣

The angst this is causing the Hellas haters already is worth the price of admission....

Im curious how Preston plans on securing a record crowd when the entire side opposite the stand will be closed off? That side looked totally full when they played Altona, will be a big crowd but it wont be a record, i expect a creative figure to be released.

SM socials have been pushing the whole "get in quick before this sells out" angle all week .... I dont think it will be bigger than last year.
 
come on sport, they have been doing great marketing for ages, the only reason not a sell out is SMH supporters not turning up to make up the numbers :)

What number is a sell out at Prestons' ground? Genuinely interested to know as its mostly standing area, I have no idea if they are going to open the crowd up to the opposite side or just have us behind the goal like last time.

unlike APIA and Marconi supporters turning up in their thousands up there eh? Full credit to Preston as I always do, but they and we know this is going to be their biggest crowd of the regular season ....

Our end will not pack out like last year. That match had like 2 months of build up, it was at a time when everyone thought the 2nd division in its proper format was going ahead this year. I saw faces there that night (old school south fans) that wont be at this one.

Less trouble makers as well, super womens coach and his gang for eg wont be there as he is part of the coaching staff at Hume and they play tomorrow as well.

Between one side of the ground being closed off and our end not being full no record/sell out crowd is occuring.

Still expecting 6,000+ to be announced when the real crowd will be more like 3500-4000
