South Melbourne Hellas SC and South Melbourne FC- two entities, one board, serving one membership group - no OWNERS. 2 or 3 ABN numbers associated with South Melbourne FC in order to comply with ATO around holidngs, liquor licensing etc as is usal for most non profit sporting clubs.... NOT a franchise fee paid to anyone, our name, colours, logo and IP ALL belong to the club and can be a vvote from a quorum of members. Our lease locks us in to Lakeside but we can geographically go wherever the hell we like, no need to ask Jims Mowing or McDonal'ds where or new franchise location is going to be.... Sorry matey, South is NOT a franchise, and if it EVER becomes one will no longert be the club I or many fellow members belong to.
