95% of it is fine.

This number gets smaller and smaller every time you excrete your opinions Paulie..... 

Davide I know your annoyed about some things and granted - our game is always on the back foot so to speak hence so much angst from many, as mentioned wogs/franchise/NZ yaddaydda.....
As its mentioned we're the sleeping giant and because of the past and present - one divide after another any new growth is fickle and slim.
Putting aside the obvious barriers, APL separate, FA, Feds State therefore each sector is compramised.
How long are NEW not REAL fans gonna stick around new Franchise's ? forget the honeymoon period looking ahead 3/5/6yrs on.
This ongoing divide needs to get to an end - put it this way, the ways things are going it might just implode all on its own due to all mentioned above because people can't come to grip with anything in the game together more and more.
Like you mentioned in the other thread one day I'm just not going log on anymore (as many have done in the past) this is whats happenning to the real devoted supporter even right ?
Hang in there mate I like having you on board as would others.

Haven't you found a spouse yet?

Youz prove the figures from the little club, machine gun man. Who at one stage reckon they can operate with 1,500 crowds and the 'whiff of an oily rag'. Sounds like their financial management is on par with their mother country in Europe.

cheeez posting pics and all reminds me of my daughters insta/tiktok/snap chat kind of behaviour.

So, can it fix Australian football? Is it the silver bullet that will deliver the game to a hitherto unknown land of milk and honey? Of course, the simple answer is no. But it doesn’t need to. To hold it to that standard is to allow administrators, coaches and officials to abdicate their responsibilities elsewhere.

I think both had valid comments and points - lets look at it positively, put it this way all for the better below the APL having NST going ahead and in the future better for the teirs below in time and the game as a whole.....
Grass roots to NST is the biggest fish where the fish are.

Haven't used twitter for years but I'm not sure Galatas understands the format.

Anyway, an oddly combative response to what was a fairly mild/positive/grounded article?

Hey bud, I thought Nick's response was fairly reasonable, what did you find combative?

Ooh Nick you dirty little man

The meaning of the Galatas surname is 'milk man' and Galatea means 'sea foam'.

Ok, now it's weekend time

Top line mate, agreed. 

I've always felt thats where its at....not the fair weathered only going to derby type of goer, not that thats wrong but you know what I mean.

Yeah I get you... The rusted ons like us but Ive got no issues with fair weather fans or theatre goers..... There aplenty of those in football, just cant understand why the APL and FFA before them would target AFL/NRL fans and not people already in love with the sport of football to begin with?

100% agree.  The FFA and the APL and all the state federations should be focusing on the converted and not the AFL/NRL crowd. By having the A-League in summer is like saying our football can't compete with them. By why are we supposed to be competing with them?  Our game is a winter sport, and should be played in winter. We can have a longer season than them.  We may be flooding the "market" amongst our fan base, but as sure as hell, everyone involved with the code will have a choice. And that is exactly what happens everywhere else in the world - at every level of the game.
