Like I have been saying all along relocate to WA and have a derby with Glory
I'm sure we can con Joondalup to configure the hbf arena to rectangle 

hahahahah your crazier than I am dude.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

My theory is that Western United is funded by the AFL to fuck over the A League.
Remember, you read it here first. 

lmao fair point

What goalposts?  they havent even got the haul road sorted yet.   hee hee hee

I'm convinced at this point that when (or if) the 5k stadium and training facilities are built they will call it their home ground.
Sick of them moving the goalposts at this point.

Well Kate roffe  is still ceo down here and she has continuously dodged questions on where they got the money for the stadium . 

It always starts OK with JA then the slide begins... 

I can't see why they haven't been stripped of their licence. The only consolation is that they have to go bust sometime. 

Article is behind a paywall but essentially 50 million spent so far (no mention of ownership of the Newcastle license but I guess 25 million spent on consultancy fees might cover this....)

No builder partner, no building planning permission for the  (now 3 sided) stadium and they will be playing in their 250 seat training ground by the end of next year. or maybe the one after or ......?  Also, they dont have the 50 million to build the mega Werribee Wembley stadium (was closer to 200 million If I recall but meh, imaginary numbers are all the same after a while) but confident they will get it and if not welcome government funding..... 
HAhahahahaha if i was a new dawner Id be riding these guys out on a rail........  Hail, Hail Melbboooooouuuurrrnnnnessss Greeeen and black!!!!!!! hahahahahahah

Why does one get the feeling that in 12 months we're going to see an investigative story on ABC,  RE: Developers, local council, land, sponsors, granting of license......

Are you guys getting Western United's Business to Business app for your business?

You mean faltering at the end of the season? Like Rudan did last year (albeit worse off)?

The Aloisi Effect kicking in. 

After today's loss to the rebounded Pheonix, Western have only won 1 of their last 6 matches (and even then that was thanks to the idiocy of the Brisbane keeper). Their once solid defence has lost shape with the team having failed to keep a clean sheet in 7 matches.
Are they slipping up at the end of the season yet again?

The worst thing to ever happen IS the A League :)

Oh God, brace yourselves, the Ticketek servers are going to go into meltdown and all of Victoria will be sans internet and mobile data for a few days......

The worst thing to ever happen to the A league. 

They are giving out a code for six free tickets to their match against nix in Ballarat 

Look at the cros, they could start their own league with all the teams they follow

Priorities mate ... Cevapi FIRST, then training pitch.... c'mon what are we, animals?

AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH Bite your tongue dude.........   0-4 Hellas with a Sawyer brace and a Valentini red card ... you read it here first :)

That's how real clubs start.  Training ground first.  Canteen with cevapi next. Organic growth,. 

I’ve never understood the logic.

when Avondale likely dumps us out of cup next week I hope the whole thing gets called off lol.

I saw it and apparently, it’s a concept design based on a stadium in the USA. When WU originally announced themselves, they did say they were building a 15,000 seat stadium with the potential to increase it to 22,000 in the future. This might explain the missing terrace (although the idea of WU needing to expand to a 22,000 stadium is laughable right now).


No, I want Victory to win the league. But that’s probably not going to happen. I don’t find WU as offensive as Sydney or City. I don’t consider WU to be a rival, but I’m sure that’ll change in the coming years when they get more established.

But seeing them win the league and seeing the salt from the bitters who claim it should be South Melbourne or Wollongong (or whoever) instead of WU… Well it puts a little smirk in the corner of my mouth.

You want your local derby rivals to win the league? That is so odd. I guess thats why I just don't understand the Isuzu League. If South doesn't win the league every year I hope every other club forfeits the rest of the season and ends up equal last....... 

LOL@ a 'training facility'

Essentially an admission that an actual stadium will never get built & had no intention of ever getting built.   

Seeing as though A League clubs pride themselves on being cheap ambitionless fucks ( salary cap, P and R, an actual transfer system ) it looks like Western United have stumbled accidentally across the perfect football club business model.   No geographical location & no stadium to keep the costs down.  They're the equivalent of someone not owning a car & using car share services whenever they need it in the inner cities.  Kudos to them.   

Closely followed by Macarthur and Wellington.

 The salt will be real if they win the league. And now that its unlikely Victory will, i hope they do.
