NPL 2026

[superpolska]

Umm why? Our home away from home should always be Northcote. If something is going on at albert park wouldnt we just play away?

Not round 1 but early in the season... draft fixture says they are playing at bundoora during F1

Interesting cos we usually just play away during grand prix period.

Or the F1 can go back to Adelaide... simpler solution...

Or even better, should go to Sydney, they need some internationally relevant sporting events don't they?

Sydneys already internationally relevant/recognised so it doesn’t need sporting events to try and make itself so like Melb

google is your go to pal
Yeeros and gyros are the same food, a popular Greek dish of meat cooked on a vertical rotisserie. The difference is the name: "Gyros" is the Greek spelling (γύρος), but some restaurants use the phonetic spelling "yeeros" to represent the correct pronunciation, which is "yee-ros" rather than "jai-ro"

Finally we can go back to 1980's style Melbourne Sydney rivalry on the soccer field!

I am being serious here ..... up until the end of the Communist era, I felt that the key soccer rivalry was between NSW (Sydney) and the rest (led by Melbourne).

But the 1991 Grand Final between South Melbourne Hellas and Melbourne Croatia changed me.

The Melbourne Croatia supporters were such poor losers that day, and I could see that they did not give one F that we were a fellow Melbourne team.

SoS what if MC won that GF I bet some SMH supporters wouldn't be embracing fellow victorians right ?

Though yep the State rivalry is all there, hopefully it builds up even more next years Championship - well it will no doubt.

State vs State is for bogans and AFL, NRL meatheads mate.... We might like to play (and beat) Marconi , Olympic, APIA or whatever but Kinghts, Bergers and Preston we hate with a passion, no matter what city they live in.
