I still feel like South can draw in a crowd on their day, Melbourne culture and suburb sprawl helps.

Olympic on the other hand, they heavily advertised their games at Kogarah last year, signs everywhere in my area for months before but the attendance was poor. It's just not a hit with the community and probably within their own inner one as well.

It always seemed like something internal that fucked everyone off. The photos of their latest AGM kind of summed up it up, average age probably 80+.

Olympic future looks bleak no home to call their own, the Greek community in Sydney really doesn’t turn up for them at all which is pretty disappointing to see

hahahah Dandy and Hume? Don't get me wrong Hume started to attract bigger crowds then what they are used to (South did play them 5-6 times last season?) last season and Dandy are on a bit of a roll at the moment but lets not put them in the same convocation as South OR Preston. Its good to see that some of the Hume fans did stick around from lasts season, well maybe those who didn't get banned...

edit: I would even argue that the past few seasons Dandy CITY have been getting attendances than Thunder, they have a tidy ground and always seem to have some decent away support.

Dandy Thunder and hume both get better attendance than south. Dandy city dont.
 
Dandy city away support is terrible. Thunder are usually the best supported away team away at Altona but that will be beaten by Preston this year. Good home support as well overall easy top 3 or 5 minimum. NGC are IMO the best supported Cro team.

Thunder sometimes provided multiple Albanian weddings arent on. They can tail off pretty badly though. This season so far yes they will have us covered.

Hume dont, that p1ssy little stand they have barely fits more than Souths vip section. At least with Thunder people are along the fence all around the ground.
 
Best supported clubs in each league from my experiences.
NPL: Preston, Dandy Thunder, Hume, Knights & South. Most teams are decently supported and would be among the best in other states.
VPL1: NSE, Srbija, Georgies, Bulleen
VPL2: North Geelong, Geelong, Werribee
SL1: Sydenham, Westgate, Corio - S/e none
SL2: Western Eagles / St. Kilda (the 2 SL3 champions from last season)
Below them: Laverton, Balmoral, Dandy South seem quite decently supported. Sunbury as well, they also have the best canteen/social club potentially in all of Victoria.
 
Sydney Olympic are probably the biggest dissapointment in Australian football. You play in a city with a massive Greek population, your home ground is in an area where a lot of Greeks still live, and you dont have 30 other Greek clubs competing for your supporters every week, yet the best they can do is a couple hundred.

The above should not only make them bigger than South who face all the challenges i outlined. Really they should be the Sydney version of Preston.
 
I agree they should be still pulling good crowds but alas not.
The long time hurdles re playing at Belmore have been a tug of war for decades now, the place actually isn't anywhere full of greeks as it once was as well..from my observations.
The same applies with APIA lack of crowds around Leichardt < the usual ol cafes I used to frequent in the heydays are all but gone.
Only a handful and they are not like they used to be.
Marrickville used to be dominated by Greek/Italian local stores for eg but its diluted massively the last 20yrs.
Belmore/Canterbury/Campsie areas are full of Lebanese/Asians where also greeks we're strong back in the day.
Viets/Chinese/Lebs dominate now.
The NRL Dogs who play at Belmore have a huge leb following.

SO also with APIA have been basket case's over some years barring the exceptions (throw in Marconi as well) - can't figure out why crowds are not more healthy for they should be !

Would I be on the money Beretta EZ ?
 
The demographics for Olympic are still good, 15% of Belmore is still Greek ancestry and the biggest Greek suburb Earlwood is less than 10 minutes away (about 4-5km).

Compare this to Albert Park and the greater South Melbourne/bayside area where you'd be lucky to have a few hundred Greeks left and most of those would be very elderly.

Not saying they should be packing the joint out but surely should be in the 1,500 range at least.

The 2011 Grand Final between Sydney Olympic and Sydney United attracted 11k at Belmore.

Olympic have been in a downward spiral since.

Greeks in Sydney support the NRL more than Football.
 
southmelb Earlwood so close to Marrickville mentioned earlier is no diff.
The inner west once ruled by euro ethnics the 2/3rd gens have not followed on as in the past.
Sure they are there but in far less numbers - interesting Beretta re more following NRL, I mentioned Leb community very strong maybe I can't pick them that well haha a mix of Leb/greek Dog supporters.

Wow 11k back in the day for that GF.
