+xGyfox do you think they will be the next WSW? No. They will market themselves to about one third of Wanderers area so they won't be as big as Wanderers. The northern half of their market based on Fairfield and Liverpool is strongly held by Wanderers. It has a number of "old football clubs" and a slowly reducing number of registered players. I wouldn't expect them to get a lot of fans/members out of that part of their market but you never know especially when there will be about 200k population growth there up to 2036. The southern part of their market is Macarthur (Camden, Campbelltown, Wollondilly) which is a big growth area that already houses a lot of recently arrived young families some of who are fans/members of Wanderers and some of Sydney FC. Player numbers are growing quickly but at 3.1% of population there it is significantly below the average in Sydney. With player numbers growing faster than the population growth rate and with another 200k expected by 2036 and no club in any sport competing nationally there is a significant future market.

The 2 expansion clubs have taken differing approaches to their launch. These guys seem to be making some solid moves, it's a shame they weren't coming in next season.

They'd rather take their time with it. The fact that they are going to play in 21-22 season gives them room to breathe. i assure you they'll use this time well

Archie Fraser to be announced as CEO. I had hoped they would find someone who understood South West Sydney.

In a resort somewhere

Milicic the man to lead South-West Sydney into A-League A-League expansion franchise Macarthur South-West Sydney have all but settled on their inaugural coach, with Ante Milicic set to take the reins for the club’s entry into the competition in 2020-21. Updated By Dave Lewis Share The current Matildas mentor has been linked with the job since late last year, and is understood to have begun sounding out potential signings over joining him at Sydney’s third A-League club.The newcomers - who today will officially unveil former A-League boss Archie Fraser as their CEO - also have ambitious plans to make ex-Socceroos skipper Mile Jedinak their first marquee and on-field talisman.They can officially begin negotiating with and signing players in December, though Mililic is understood to already be formulating the make up of the squad he aims to lead into action at the club’s Campbelltown Stadium home.He is also thought to be piecing together his intended support staff behind the scenes.The club’s hierarchy, which also includes chairman Gino Marra and former Sydney United powerbroker Sam Krslovic, believe Mililic will be a catalyst able to drive them forward in his first appointment as an A-League head coach, despite being previously linked with a bid to repatriate Perth Glory coach Tony Popovic back to his hometown.Mililic, 45, has passed on signing an extension to continue with the Matildas after June’s FIFA Women’s World Cup in France to return to clubland.A trusted assistant at Melbourne Heart and then Western Sydney Wanderers, the top job has eluded him - until now.He has strong roots in the region, having both played and coached Sydney United under the auspices of Krslovic.Mililic has been a trusted operator under the FFA umbrella since 2014, first as assistant to Socceroos coach Ange Postecoglou and then his successor Bert van Marwijk at the 2014 and 2018 FIFA World Cups. And also the 2015 AFC Asian Cup.His reach extends to Australia’s under age teams, with assistant and head coach roles for the Young Socceroos and Olyroos, most recently at last year's under-19 Asian Championship where the team fell short of under-20 World Cup qualification by losing to Saudi Arabia in the quarter-finals.

There seems to be 3 trademark names registered so far: I'm not familiar with the region, does 'bulls' have any significance, or is it just a some animal they have picked?

Very early on in the colony a bull and some cows escaped from Sydney and a number of years later a herd of cattle were found on the lush banks of the Nepean River that winds through the south west of Sydney. The region was initially referred to as the Cowpastures.

The escapees were 4 cows, a bull and a young bull that were picked up in South Africa on the way to Australia. They were "black Cape cattle".

That sounds the best option. RedKat. How many Sydney FC fans do you think will go to away games in Campbelltown?

+xThat sounds the best option. RedKat. 100% agree, Macarthur FC with a bull as the mascot the winner by a mile. Clean and simple. And as nice as the sentiment of having an indigenous name is I don't think it works for uniting the entire community behind it. I don't think Newcastle having been called Awabakal instead would have ever worked for example. Do like the idea of having the Dharawal name incorporated onto the logo or kti somehow though.

All it'll take is one ABC or SBS story about it being appropriation and the whole thing goes up in smoke. Even if the Elders that the club spoke to (I assume) gave it the green light, someone is always willing to take offence vicariously. Way too sensitive a topic to be literally risking your team's name on.

If they do go Macarthur FC Im keen for what the branding of when we play them. It'll be something cringey like the FC Derby.
