+x+x+xI’m bringing back this thread let’s talk about things in Australia football that is working for you.
who wants to start?
My club, after 4-5 years of appalling results is slowly but surely pulling itself out of the doldrums. To add to that there is a new found enthusiasm (with the hope of NSD) that the club's former greatness can be revived.... New markets/fans are being engaged with and we seem to be spoken of and mentioned both nationally and internationally (particularly Scotland of course) with a whole new level of respect..... is that the sort of thing you are looking for mate ? :)
Yes I love your passion for your club even though people wouldn’t agree with everything you say you’re right in saying people should check out their local club
Mate, people should check out ANY club, whether its down the road, across the state or country or overseas. The heart wants what the heart wants... Its ALL football.
One thing I am POSITIVE about is that any kind of crazy, tribal, single minded passion for a football club is a good thing and can only lead to Australia being as mad about the sport as what we all envy from overseas. Enough of this old vs new football, eurosnobs vs plastics etc etc. The dear old duck in the canteen for the last 40 years at Upper Goondiwindee Rovers SC is just as valuable to Australian Soccer as Yoshi and the 18 year old, FIFA playing, FM nerd with the Harry Kane poster in his room :)
