Was thinking more about the botched and ironic naming of both Houston Dynamo and Real Salt Lake

I think Houston Dynamo are the only club in world football that have the name Dynamo/Dinamo that was created or helped by the sect of the Moscow Sports club.

And also only Dynamo club in Orange.

Again, also unfortunate because belmore used to be better than what it is now. Used to feel more like a neutral suburban venue akin to Leichhardt oval. Now it’s fully been colonised by the bulldogs nrl team

Fuck, it is their ground. They still had their offices in the main (only) stand. They are now adding their centre of excellence opposite said stand.

Doxa Perth?

Nothing beats, Marconi Datsun.

Wsw vs Victory at Marconi Stadium.

Apia vs Sydney United, venue TBC. My assumption that Leichhardt Oval is off limits must be right.

 

[Spartan Warrior]

Why is NSE vs Bergers at WUs ground?

Larissa Reserve is terrible if they maybe want to segregate crowds. Also wouldn't meet broadcast standards. Thought they'd host it at Somers St though.

Wanderers v Melb victory at Marconi is interesting.

APIA v United venue tbc. If Leichhardt is n/a will be an interesting litmus test for where APIA play games going forward with the aforementioned venue out of action

CommBank Stadium not allowed to host cup games til quarter finals at the earliest due to WSW and Venues NSW arrangement.

Larissa reserve would have hosted if it was a day game on the weekend, as Heidelberg are playing in the cup final on Saturday thats off. Had they drawn an A league club i know for a fact it would have been next Sunday at Larissa.

But yeh sending it to the middle of nowhere not ideal, wonder if they could have gone to knights.

South Melbourne are fully professional

They train in the morning, players still clock a 9-5 afterwards

potential to be a unique one off fixture

And I dont think lambert park complies with broadcasting requirements.

 

[MoorePark]

They can move the match to ES Marks, the first home/s of Sydney Croatia

 

[Glenardo]

And I dont think lambert park complies with broadcasting requirements.

And yet Reggio Calabria/Avondale does though..or cb smith.. odd considering lambert park was an nsl venue for years

I can’t work out why we are playing Fremantle City at Sunday 7.40pm. Talk about trying to pick a kick off time that will reduce the crowd attendance numbers.

Surely a Sunday 5pm kick off time would have been the latest you would schedule kick off.

 

[Kitwally]

Why is Houston Dynamo botched/ironic?
