Expansion Thread 🪜

[HappyGuus]

I sometimes wonder if my South Melbourne Hellas friend, Paul Mavroudis, is correct in stating that we should all go back to State competitions

I love Paul's football history pod, but going to state level as tier 1 is an all-time awful call. We need an additional national tier, not none.

correct HG !

I actually do not think Paul was being serious. But he appeared to be reaching out for something that is not what we have now.

The only way we go back to State based competitions is if fuel became ridiculously prohibitive to use for non essential use. That is not so far fetched for economic and environmental reasons.

Pretty sure the game moved on from franchises.... well, many, many years ago.

I have no issues with so-called 'mono ethnic clubs' being in our top-flight (although, I would arbitrarily agree with the old NCIP, eg - no ethnic country club names in the top flight), but if they fail to match, and step up and fold / fall by the wayside in the process, then so be it.

So does it depend on what flavour the country club is?

There was one club (franchise) that I was sad to see get the axe and that’s Nth QLD Fury.

Luckily, it ONLY seems to be franchseis that fold out of exisitence... football clubs live on regardless of the racism.

Brazil used to have some sort of state comp where you qualified into the annual national comp as their league didn't they? I am not sure when that changed though.

Hows the expansion going?

Nobody ever got back to me... how is the expanding?

I stand by my view supporters of old NSL clubs don't want what's best for football in this country as they want to drag the game back to the bad old days.

Same old bs racist crap.. hahahha "good of the game" but always only as long as the 'effniks' arent included or your franchises threatened... we got it champ.. rinse, repeat!

Easier to stay alive in a closed league bc as you rightly fear if it opens up the majority of your corner stores are as dead as the traditional milk bar!!

Thats reality, all the rest is all just convenient racist conditioning or pure unrestrained hatred.. you can self diagnose that in your own time!

As for those 'bad old days' tell me again what you fixed (based on your promises)? The marketing? The money? The inclusion? The violence? The club failures?? Wtf can you claim with a straight face that you succeeded in that wouldnt of happened anyway? The audacity or in this case chutzpah (to keep with your inclusice club) of the priveledged orating from their high horse!!

DeathtotheAL and nothing less and from there a proper ressurection for those that can rise to the top!

More of this till the cows come home! Gotta love the irony of a system based on that much racisim/hate it self annihalates.......

The japanese did it as sense of remorse 'harakiri' the AL bc it no longer can sell the hate outwards!

Pop corn is on me when the next one falls!!
