Fuck, they're dead. Rockdale seems like the upcoming club for a certain community.

bye bye bankstown

explains the exodus of players to the demons........................

info on demons plz

Hope they finish last lol


DIRTY RASCIST CLUB LOL

Racist club? Half there players and coaching staff were Greek :P

maybe they need george jackson back...??

very true. but thats beyond comprehension for certain kids who troll this site.

anyway re bankstown, no doubt a tough period, but they managed to secure admission to this years PL, and I have a feeling they will rough it out. no doubt their playing stocks have been decimated, but it opens the door for someone to step up. in saying that, given their performances last year, its not that bad a deal to lose certain players.

theyre not alone on struggle st at present, there are a number of clubs who are on the rbink financially and the same reason why the majority of clubs were in favour of the shift to summer as it gave them breathing space to get their finances in order.

why did rockdale not fight to stay in summer?

so far as i know, it was a unanimous decision by all PL clubs to switch to summer. had it proceeded, it would of meant there would be no football for over 12 months (with the exception of the proposed 2 players per PL club who could play down in the upcoming winter SL season, before rejoining their PL clubs). logically, concerns were raised at the length of the break and suggestions were made for an interim comp or a half comp or something along those lines to fill part of the gap. as far as i know, that was shot down quickly with certain clubs most vocal in their opposition to any on field action before the summer comp kicked off (notably APIA i guess for financial reasons and Olympic due to ground availability this winter). Im guessing many clubs were happy to sit out a year to get their houses in order.

i personally am glad its gone back to winter for two main reasons:
1. no 12 mth break
2. no clash with the a-league (and yes there are some fans out there who do go to both PL games and watch sydney fc)

i dont believe the summer comp would of resulted in larger crowds for PL clubs. end of the day, majority of PL supporters will go to their games regardless of whether its winter or summer.

anyway, FFA got their way.

You just proved you have no idea about football, sydney fc would suffer if the comp was in summer not the other way around

four clubs fought to stay in summer and only one had the balls to stand up and say it, that club is the glorious Olympic!

If you must know summer is better no clashes with people playing football, no clashes with NRL, because lets get real who watches Sydney City FC anyway a few eastern suburbs folk and some north sydney geezes

can you read? seriously. my response alluded to the fact that it was not a good idea to summer for the reason that sydney fc would suffer due to clashes with PL games. unlike narrow minded supposed supporters such as yourself, who fail to look at the bigger picture, most football supporters in NSW realise that we need sydney fc to be strong because they are the only sydney team in the a-league, and a weak sydney means a weak a-league. now you might dream about olympic one day re-emerging into the big time, as fanciful as that might be, but for 99% of fans, we know it wont happen and nor should it. theres a place for clubs like olympic, and its the state leagues, simple. i say that about my own club too.

your glorious olympic stood up for summer for its own reasons, namely, it knew belmore was being redeveloped and would be out of action for winter, and secondly, to raise some cash. oh and it wasnt only olympic who stood up to say it fool. go speak to one of your club's administrators for verification.

oh and please, if youre going to make sweeping comments about sydney's fan base, get your facts right. yes there is a percentage from the eastern suburbs, but there are equally as many if not more from the inner west, and the shire, and believe it or not, some travel from the west.

its pointless talking to kids but one hopes that even kids like you can be taught to think a little.

Summer would've been better. Wouldn't clash with my own State League games :P

dont feed the troll!!!!!

What kind of coin does George Jackson have?

gold and silver im guessing.:) :) :) :) :)


wont matter of FFA do what theyve set out to do. once they take over FNSW (which is happening as we speak), the long term vision is undoubtedly for association based PL teams.

whats your club going to do kolner then?

good question. and it all depends on if the scenario arises. although we are not alone, olympic, marconi, syd utd, bonno, bankstown, apia, all in the same boat.

an option would be to integrate with the local association. there have been attempts at this in the past albeit not by us. i recall that bankstown did this maybe 10 years ago in which the assoc ran the youth league teams right up to the 20's and then the lions ran the first grade and 20's.

the obvious issue remains and that is whether the associations themselves can financially support a pl setup. i think they will struggle to do this. so whether people like them or not, the old dinosaurs of the NSL and the other old school PL teams will continue to serve a purpose. thats my opinion anyway.

Pot? Kettle? Black??

Malaka :roll:

The age of the Macarthur Stallions fc is nigh
Parramatta RAGE is here now
