The Western United Thread

Does Western United have the ability to attract a solid supporter base if done properly?
Absolutely. If they had Ironbark fields from the beginning and construction of the proper stadium was well underway, the support would be there. It all comes down to that promise of the club-owned stadium. There is/was a much bigger supporter base than it appeared on screen. Many people had adopted the lets-wait-and-see approach. They weren't going to go all in until that stadium was built. Sure enough, they were right to be cautious.

If the housing development goes ahead and they build the 5 thousand or so houses in the area or whatever the number is, they would pretty much have a captive audience whithin walking distance with no oither entertainment or sporting options.. whether the new migrants chose to gel with the club is entirely up to WU engage with the locals... Its a long wait till their catchment area population actually exists though, I would say 5-10 years.
 
AFL-Collingwood-WU-Soccer failure....anyone else seeing the pattern here?

Check Pendlebury's accounts for a $2.5m influx from an unnamed source please.

Yes, this should have gone in the conspiracy thread - if I was being serious ;).

Don't forget the "other" failed AFL-Soccer club Carlton SC.... Or the new "owners" of Newcastle ..

NEVER forget these names ....
