Pasquali, feel free to move this thread, but I thought this would be the most appropriate place for it.

The first women’s sports bar to open in Australia has closed down just a few months after launching with much fanfare.

This thread is a cry for help: all members of this forum that live in Sydney or surrounding suburbs. You need to visit this bar and support it in an attempt to keep it running. Having such a bar could potentially play a crucial role in the success of the Ninja A-league and the Matilda’s.

So if you have a spare hour to spend over the next few days, I am calling you to go visit the bar and buy a beer. Do it for the Matilda’s!! Oi Oi Oi!
 
Unfortunate. So the big ABC spread and messiah-like promotion didn't get people in and buying stuff? Are Matildas fans all underage? Business is tough regardless and so much needs to be done to improve the business environment. Big business gets all its subsidies but how much should a failing business get?

I quite enjoyed going out but it's just a rort now no wonder groups prefer the social events at home with mass supply of better food and drink.

Had you shown investment consideration yourself prior to the closure and through your own colleagues for support ?

He's an extremely outgoing person who speaks to many woman on a daily basis & goes to many bars and clubs so his display of obvious empathy is extremely supportive and heartening.

Mate, I live in WA.

If I was in Sydney, I would visit most weekends.
 
Nah. It doesn't sound like they really thought things through. It didn't even last a year, it would be throwing money down a well.

Fair enough re your residence.
No point rallying up support when the article confirms its closing down - horse had bolted.
I’m surprised considering the women movement of times seems they didn’t support it in the first place regularly.

Im devastated.
 
Oh well - not a first world prob in the big picture.
Small business is tuff even in the best of times when you don’t have enough resource And imo a very high risk one.
 
I think it could have worked, but the focus of it as a sports bar probably didn't help. They should have opened it up to something more and maybe had sections around it. I know there's places that have done it where they have reality shows on play, or Bridgeton viewings and such. Not to say women don't watch sport, but I think in Australia we are so accustomed to watching it together that if you support a team, you probably not going to ditch your partner, or friend.

Yep, strangely it's not really in Australian culture that I have noticed so far to go to sport dedicated places.

The RSL's and local pubs curb that market.
