So because south are getting a couple thousand more on average that means no one else cares.. Just because south are the biggest fan base doesn’t mean that they’re the only club with fans or with people who care. Vic is not fundamentally different to nsw in this regard. (Preston are still a bit of a unique case in that they were getting similar levels of support as other npl clubs for decades up until very recently, south have always been the best of the traditional clubs when it comes to consistency of support across the long haul) the other smaller states maybe it’s a different case but some very silly broad brush statements here imo

Are the rest of the Scottish league system irrelevant and no one cares about them because they don’t have the numbers Celtic do, or in the Croatian system because they don’t have the numbers Dinamo Zagreb do. These are organic clubs which have been built from the ground up, they wouldn’t be where they were if no one cared

This is why I think if we set up a proper 2nd division we need a mixture old clubs and new clubs.

Say, Souths, Preston, Knights from Vic, Wolves, Marconi and SU58 from NSW (all these clubs have relatively large supporter bases) and then new teams from Tassie, Canberra, and maybe Gold Coast, Brissy, Adelaide and Perth.

NPL teams in these non victorians just don't have proper fan bases and will struggle to attract new fans with everyone having ties to other NPL teams etc.

My brother in football (if nothing else) we need a mixture of clubs, ANY clubs, old new, effnik, anglo, mainstream, church, whatever it doesn't matter as long s they ae actual football clubs... Geographical spread may be an important feature as a jumping off point but all we really need are two things

1) 16-18 clubs that have the infrastructure to compete on the pitch at a national level
2) a mechanism for clubs to be able to promote themselves to that same level based on sporting merit.

EVERYTHING else will grow from that.

When I visited Kefallonia for the first time and the singers walked past me, I was gobsmacked that this existed.

A pity there is not more of it in the Greek community
