That kind of low effort content is right in their wheelhouse, though. They did retweet it.

Fairynuff

God I wish that was true. I would so love to have Tarneit Gypsies playing at Sommers Street. The banter would be delicious,  

That's the same account that has been posting shit about other A-League clubs for past few days. Don't doubt the move.

They’re opening an academy. Great news for the club and the league. 

Yeah thats old news.  Wyndham council actually reported it a while back and so did this site

from what I heard they will start playing in 2022

They may have to start training at Sommers Street until the "Western Wembley" gets built. Hope they don't poach too many players from the surrounding clubs as they are expected to be golden handshaked straight into npl1 and  there is a bit of bad feeling about that already. Also hope they don't throw bleach on 5 year olds like the other plastics.

Who cares when you have 'CAV DADDY' baby!!!!!!

Drove past today, cows are still chewing the cud.....

And it'll be a while yet. Sick of wu just ignoring it whilst wyndham council have approved the training site. Also drove past their merchandise store. Which states coming soon. Which has been there since there pre covid

Looks like Werribee City are getting new digs... Hope Horvat and the Gypsies don't come knocking looking for a place to train. heheheheheheh

Suprised  they didn't ask truganina hornets to train at ardnell Park.  Closer than Caroline Springs and is actually in the local area they're representing 

Local area they are representing? Hahahahahaha what area? Two years, almost to the day, and still paddocks and not even a road to "Sunnyvale" let alone a train station,  houses or a stadium..... but, they where the best choice even though Deloitte didnt think so. The pricks that took the envelope under the table, and apparently one of the payees has a recording of the transaction incase it all blows up in their faces, will be exposed one day ...... I wonder how far away that day is now?

Looks like the "Georgies" are keen to join in the Championship. Wonder if they will let the parasites still train at their club or kick them out when seasons are run at the same time?
F#ck I so much want to play these guys in a meaningful comp again... some epic battles over the years.

Dats fancy and all that, what ye done with Max Burgess then?

Stadium might be finished before Max Burgess arrives at training for them

Western United will continue to grow as the A-League club for the west with a roadshow of home games accessible to supporters of the green and black in metro, regional and rural Victoria for the 2020/2021 A-League season.

United can confirm today that Geelong (GMHBA Stadium) and Ballarat (Mars Stadium) will host a minimum of four matches and two matches respectively.

Six matches will be played in Melbourne, with venue details to be confirmed in the coming weeks.

Council website still not so great at providing information about the Stadium and the A League club.

Good for amateur enthusiasts though.

what about the 13th home game?

Season could be 24 rounds? Have the confirmed the length yet? 12 home games and 12 away? Would be quite odd playing 2 random teams and extra time. Although in our desperate time, an extra matchup for derbies is probably guaranteed.

Actually backtrack on what I said, I went onto Western United site to have a read and the following line wasnt copied when it was shared 

The location for the remaining home fixture of the season is flexible at this stage.

Still no formal application for amendment to the riverdale structure plan to accommodate a stadium nor an application for a planning permit to construct and use a major sports and recreation facility.
Only application with Council is:
https://eproperty.wyndham.vic.gov.au/ePropertyPROD/P1/eTrack/eTrackApplicationDetails.aspx?r=P1.WEBGUEST&f=$P1.ETR.APPDET.VIW&ApplicationId=WYP12156%2f20

Application is for Bulk earthworks and roadworks, veg removal etc.

It does appear they have informally submitted documentation with DELWP for preliminary ideas.

The upshot of all this is that whilst Council and Western United have done a lot or 'preliminary' work, the formal process of seeking planning permission to construct and use a stadium (major sports and recreation facility) still has not yet commenced.

Do you think its been put on hold because of the slight uncertainty ahead? 

Turf war over AAMI Park clouds A-League kick-off

A bitter turf war has broken out between the three Melbourne A-League clubs over the use of AAMI Park just weeks before the new season is due to kick off.

Western United, who are entering their second season, want to play six matches at the stadium.

Melbourne Victory and Melbourne City, who share the ground with Melbourne Storm and Melbourne Rebels, are set against the proposal.

Western United are arguing that in the current coronavirus environment AAMI Park represents a safer and more financially viable option than their original plan of using smaller grounds in the western suburbs - such as Knights Stadium in Sunshine and the Western Oval in Footscray - which would require more investment and upgrading to be made COVID-19 safe and to meet A-League standards.

Western United CEO Chris Pehlivanis said that Victory and City are blocking their initiative - even though three of the six games matches the club envisages playing at AAMI Park would be Western's "home" games against their Victorian rivals.

"We just think that it is unreasonable to oppose this at the current time and with the restrictions imposed by COVID-19," said Pehlivanis.

"We are looking to build our own stadium and that won't be ready for a couple of years.

"We had planned to play matches closer to the city so that our supporters who live over the Westgate Bridge but in metropolitan Melbourne could get to the games, but the work required to upgrade some of the grounds we were looking at makes that a financially difficult proposition.

"AAMI is the right capacity where we could socially distance supporters and the infrastructure is there. It's a government-built stadium whose construction was financed by the taxpayer, we are a Victorian club, so I can't see how it can be opposed if it is just a short-term measure."

Neither Victory nor City would comment on what is looming as an embarrassing territorial dispute just weeks from a new campaign.

The clubs have recently taken control of the A-League from Football Federation Australia - the end of a two year "unbundling" process which, in theory, will allow them to act collectively to add value to their franchises, attract outside investors and boost popularity with crowds and potential media partners.

"It's not what we expected when we set out to run the competition to grow the game, with all the clubs working together," Pehlivanis said.

Western played the bulk of their games in their first season at Geelong's GMHBA Stadium but crowds were poor and interest less than they would have hoped for.

They still plan to play some matches - a minimum of four - at GMHBA Stadium and a minimum of two at Ballarat's Mars Stadium in a bid to "roadshow" the club and build a non-metropolitan fan base in Victoria's western region.

“We listened to our members during the off season and the feedback was consistent – bring some home games to the west of Melbourne. However it’s a tougher year than most to plan," Pehlivanis said.

“The challenges the pandemic presents for live sport - the restrictions on capacity and providing a COVID-safe environment made determination of the 2020-21 home ground strategy an unenviable task.

"The best way we can have the most fans together safely enjoying live football is to play at the safest and most professional stadiums possible that will be leaders in implementing health and safety protocols.

“We’re working hard with the Victorian government, venue operators, and the FFA to secure a venue for our home games in Melbourne,” Pehlivanis added.

Victory and City did not oppose Western's inclusion in the league last year because their strategy was to develop soccer in regions outside Victory and City's catchment zone - not in the heartland of the other two clubs.

They privately argue that Sydney FC have not moved into rival club stadia while the Sydney Football Stadium is being rebuilt but found other solutions, and that Western should do the same.

Piss off you were brought in to play in the west and build your stadium don’t break both promises 

And someone did mention aami has an agreement that only 2 aleague clubs can use the ground. 

It's more to do with AFC Club Competitions regulations. The rule about no more than two clubs in a stadium has been around for a while.


This was posted on twitter earlier.

The club is a cluster fuck. 100% smoke, mirrors and bullshit. 

I guess the AFC would let us off the hook on that one if we trotted out the covid excuse due to the need for social distancing, but what about the year after next when the pandemic is over and WU still haven't gotten their act together?
