The effect on professional players of having no supporters should not be underestimated over time.
No offence if any Bulls fans exist in here (do they? Surely not). But they infuriate me as being a complete waste of space. Whenever they beat another team that actually has potential to turn a win into bigger crowds, bigger attention, more support etc etc, it feels pointless. If anything, they get in the way.
It's a interesting point they have quite a good squad as well on paper anyways
Which also feels like a waste haha
Maybe someone should ask duke what it feels like to play there
For this season yeah but I don’t think it rules them out entirely. If Heidelberg won the Australia Cup then they would get the spot. I think giving the spot to the A-League rather than the Australia Cup is just so Asia can line up with Europe, since if cup winners qualify for a higher level of football through the league then the spot goes to the league. For example, if a team qualifies for the Champions League through finishing high enough in the Premier League but that team also wins the FA Cup, their Europa League spot doesn’t go to the FA Cup runners-up, it goes to the league.
HAHAHAHAHAAH this is hilarious, especially after OFC pro league was just played there.Heidelberg in priority position for Asian berth: FA
Heidelberg United may find itself on the Asian stage, after Football Australia confirmed that the Australia Cup runners-up will receive priority for Australia's slot in the ACL2 should Cup winners Newcastle secure ACLE qualification.www.espn.com.au
By "continental football" I think he just means AFC. All the federations probably have differing requirements, and I'd have a guess that OFC would have the lowest standards.
The most hilarious thing is that AFC only allows 2 clubs to play out of a stadium so if City and Victory both end up in Asian tournaments this year Heidelberg will have to find a suitable (what did they call it a dogtrack?) venue in Melbourne... hahahahahahah
I wonder if they can play interstate?!
I don’t expect them to go far at all but it’ll be cool to see them in Asia.Heidelberg in priority position for Asian berth: FA

quite a lot of debate on twitter on article 7.4 and whether that automatically rules them out
Well it's only fair that the embarrassment is shared around. Why should it only be the A League?I think it’s terrible that FA are giving a coveted place in the Champions League to a mere NPL club when there are another nine A League clubs who should be considered first!
