Craig Noone has replaced Spider Kalac as the youth team coach.

Hahahahah loling at the 60k increase to membership...

Seriously though, not a bad way to connect to their community, it would be VERY embarrassing if it doesnt bring any noticeable bump in crowds. 

What a recruitment drive !

They've just added 60,000 members



If you're not already a member,  $5 will get you 3 games

Macarthur FC have bolstered their already impressive attacking line-up with the signing of Georgian international striker Bachana Arabuli.

club website.

And Fabregas deal off according to James Dodd

Didn't McBulls reduce ticket prices during the second half of the season? They are market prices now.

Took them long enough
How about reducing the prices for the rest of the crowds now?

Good about time this club does something for its fans

from Macarthur FC website.

I believe Macarthur can succeed in the medium term. Western United I have no hope for, none at all all.
But the owners have to fix their ticket prices. 

Macarthur is a piss poor excuse of a football club, still cant wrap my head around how they got a license over some of the other franchises. 

Far Post Podcast with Danny Townsend this week is worth a listen.

I was thinking this when I first heard the expansion announcement.
It is a huge leap in a very short amount of time.

APL doesn't have the money to add an extra club at this stage.  They are stretching the limit to add the two they are adding over the next 2 years and extending the competition to full home and away.

No reason they both can't have a spot and Canberra has had that spot for ages. 

No real excuse tbh. 

Canberra have their spot.

Macarthur not putting up a women's team next season. 

Yorke has bought Russell Latapy in as an assistant. The two played together for the T&T national team for a number of years.

Latapy was the manager of the Barbados national team.

Macarthur memberships dropping today, seems like after last seasons sky high prices they are at a much more respectful and appropriate cost. Interesting to see whether there end of season form, new signings, improved prices and fingers crossed a new wave of solid marketing can make a major difference. 

off to Cyprus
would be interested in knowing what the transfer fee was

Could be nothing but we'll see

Unfortunately, due to the current COVID-19 restrictions across Greater Sydney we were unable to celebrate our inaugural A-League season last Thursday evening at Novella on the Park.
Keep an eye on our socials this afternoon as we announce our award winners

ofcourse money runs sport today and long ago but it doesn't condone its right your not telling me anything new, my point is for a change the wrongs of the past shouldn't be allowed to occur today.
I accept a new club coming in but there should be ground rules set to how they filter in to the systems/levels, small Clubs need protection from themselves not just the big bad wolf.
How about a new Club from out of town regional links with a metro Club but all their teir1/NPL games will be played even further away from the metro Club as another eg.
This is not right - oh but its about the money, forget all about the metro Clubs long time volenteers/supporters.

Like I said even an old NSL club bucked the kulcha but listening to you it’s only the new clubs that do it. Money running professional sport is here to stay. Live with it.

haha trust you to follow on in here.
ol football kulcha carries on everywhere else barring the minor numbers in franchise style systems go figure.
You would be ignored anywhere else in europe etc...on these matters.

Yeah right, must have the ol’ a football kulcha of doing things in today’s business of sport.

I recall Melbourne Croatia buying their way in one of the top divisions so they can get into the NSL at the earliest. There was no professional soccer then either!

here here......slap in the face to all in NPL every single State.
NSM or Northbridge as they once were also should have had their board slapped in the face, minnows in NPL1 having just got there 2seasons back, I know many old NB supporters, have departed in disgust.
Much of this had been reported or posted before but this is what shouldn't be occuring when a new Club comes along.
Earn your promotion and you gain respect, Bugga to all those above allowing this to happen

Interesting, hope these guys have good seasons, but hope they get relegated because it is bullshit how Macarthur were able to get around this.

Lots of attacking talent there, De Robillard from memory was in that same team as DRD at WSW, played at Hills last season, electric player on his day. Sepping had a good season at Marconi by all reports. Juach played plenty at Wollongong and scored 3 or 4 goals, Rory Jordan is an interesting prospect, doesn't have any real stand-out attributes but seems to score a lot.

Macarthur have announced their U20s team, the Northbridge Bulls (the rebranded North Shore Mariners), who will play in NPL1 this season and they have some excellent young talents on their books. Rory Jordan, Eddie Caspers, Lachlan Sepping, Emmanuel Peters, Bol Juach, Stephen De Robillard will play for them - all coached by Mile Sterjovski. Excited to see how they go despite their controversial formation.
