Rumour is that they have 10-12 players signed including some Aussies returning from overseas.  I don't know whether they are genuine rumours or SST type rumours though.  :)

Benjamin made a good post earlier in the week.
There will be a huge number of uncontracted players at seasons end including OS players.
Its probably a good opportunity to start from scratch for this team.

It looks near impossible to buld a new team when you have everyone in lockdown.
Maybe players will be signed by someone wandering around Australia in a Hazmed suit?
But how do you get Visa players?
Anyway its going to be the same issue all around the world.
My best guess would be a delayed start to the next season for all Football.
Most likley a two month window once the Corona Virus is conquered.

“....Sydney FC would be expanding their footprint in the area. The club would increase its visits to primary schools, influencing a new generation of football fans.
This is after the club denounced 
Southern Expansion’s bid to take over the same geographical area, stretching down to WIN Stadium.....
It’s an arrangement that marks Sydney’s territory and chains Macarthur FC to Campbelltown....
Wollongong doesn’t need Sydney, but Sydney needs Wollongong.”

Yeah the AFC wouldn't let us sell tickets for the hill areas for our ACL game against Persija Jakarta or the Asian Cup games either. Missed out on other events before as well because of them so I'll be happy when the ends finally get seated.

It's a long way off from when Macarthur will need to worry about that but good to get planning early.

Wanderers did very well in their first two seasons.  You never know.

so the upgrade means they will be installing more seats? if so, i think they are doing the right thing. hills/grassy areas look shit aesthetically and are not AFC compliant

The supporter's official Facebook account got its 700th member tonight.  That's not bad in 2 weeks since it was set up.  There is also about 600 invites out from members.

Make it 800 members now.

Or Macarthur Park!

Macarthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, nooooo

The NRL is only played there a few times a year. 

The A-League will be far more than that, giving far more value for a sponsor to invest in the naming rights.

30% are new supporters to Hyundai A-League
27% coming from Sydney FC
3% are converting from NRL 
And the remaining 6% are from other A-league teams.

But all them grounds share NRL and AFL teams except Coopers and Glorys home ground which has no name sponsor anymore. To attract a decent sponsor they will need NRL back at the ground more then 2 games a year like they have. No NRL No sponsor.

Yes it does. It's called HBF park.

AU don't share Hindmarsh and the stadium management have been able to attract Coopers into sponsoring the stadium.
